If you are lesbian, gay, bi and/or trans, you may have related concerns about being treated with respect when using health care services.
This may be because you’ve had previous negative experiences of using these services because of your sexual orientation and/or gender identity, or you may be anticipating discrimination. You may also feel uncomfortable being out to people that you don’t know and trust on a personal level, and if you have a partner you may feel worried about how they’ll be treated.
The Local Care provides equality of services and care to everyone, regardless of people’s age, disability, gender, gender identity, race, religion or belief or sexual orientation. We are a family owned company and we want you to feel safe without fear of discrimination. We have zero tolerance for discrimination and bullying.
