Addressing poor LGBTQ+ life course outcomes

The Health and Social Care Workforce Research Unit at KCL, and Primary Care and Population Health at UCL, have joined forces to create a network and webinar series to address the poorer health and wellbeing in later life that the LGBTQ+ community experience. 

People from the LGBTQ+ community face inequalities throughout the life course, which can become particularly acute as they age. Dr Catherine Forward and Dr Claudio Di Lorito want to highlight and address these through collaborations with those interested in research and practice which seeks to redress this imbalance. 

To find out more, join the mailing list by emailing Catherine.forward@kcl.ac.uk. If you have any questions you can email Catherine or Claudio Claudio.dilorito@ucl.ac.uk.
