Join us in person or virtually to celebrate, learn, network and hear from leading voices in the LGBTQIA+ and nursing communities.
This year's theme is 'Vital Voices': Celebrating our community, shaping inclusive healthcare. At our special event, we'll celebrate the diversity within the LGBTQIA+ nursing community and explore how these voices contribute to delivering inclusive healthcare for all.
Join us to hear from inspiring nursing leaders, changemakers championing progress, and LGBTQIA+ patient voices. Together, they’ll offer both inspiration and practical insight you can take back into your nursing practice whether you’re a nurse or a midwife, nursing support worker or student.
Highlights of the programme include:
- A keynote address from Lady Phyll, CEO and founder of UK Black Pride on the vital voices which have shaped her life, work and activism.
- LGBTQIA+ patient voices - a panel drawn from different areas of the community will share their experiences of accessing health services and the role of nursing care
- An education based workshop designed to equip participants with practical skills and knowledge to inform your nursing practice
- Closing remarks from Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England, shares his experiences as an LGBTQIA+ nursing leader
