LGBT+ History Month is celebrated in the UK in February. It was first celebrated in 2005. Each year, LGBT+ History Month has a different theme, with Schools OUT, the founders of LGBT+ History Month UK, providing free resources for education, business, services and organisations.
This year, LGBT+ History Month celebrates LGBT+ peoples’ contributions to medicine and healthcare, both historically and currently. It showcases the amazing work of LGBT+ staff across the NHS and in other healthcare settings, especially during the pandemic. It also shines a light on the LGBT+ community’s experiences of healthcare and the health inequalities faced by LGBT+ people even today.
