About the Event

With the benefits of social prescribing now widely known, many healthcare professionals and organisations support the RACGP’s call for its formal inclusion in national long-term healthcare plans and standard primary care. The recently released primary health care 10-year plan 2022–32 also states that social prescribing will have a formal place in Australian general practice, recognising that it ‘seeks to address people’s needs in a holistic way’ and ‘aims to support individuals to take greater control of their own health’.

The new parkrun practice initiative aims to promote social prescribing by strengthening links between practices and their community.

About the Event

While many sexuality and gender diverse people lead healthy and happy lives, research shows LGBTQ+ people experience significant health disparities when compared to the general population.

These health issues are not due to being LGBTQ+ but are directly related to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse.

This education session will support healthcare practices to improve their LGBTQ inclusion through discussion of the following key issues:

• Why do we need to be LGBTQ inclusive in our care?

• What are the barriers to accessing care faced by the Gender and Sexuality Diverse (LGBTQ) community?

• What are the health disparities that result from these barriers to care?

• What can you do to make your care more inclusive?
