The experiences of LGBTQI+ residents when accessing Islington services including health, care and housing

LGBTQI+ residents shared their experiences of accessing health, mental health, social care, and housing services.

Summary

  • Visibility can be important in making  LGBTQI+ residents feel welcome across services
  • Wider societal discrimination impacts on residents’ confidence to be open with healthcare, social care, and housing colleagues.
  • The way we access many public services (particularly primary health care) has changed, but the changes need to be more clearly communicated to patients and may need to be adapted to improve accessibility.
