Ep.2 - Emergency Care - We Need To Talk About Trans Health Inequality

What do we need to do differently when assessing, treating, and onward-referring trans people in our Emergency Department? Welcome back! This is the second in a series of four films covering the shortcomings in the way that UK healthcare professionals care for our trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse patients. It is the culmination of a year-long research, development and engagement effort undertaken as part of University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust’s Chief Nurse Fellowship program, with financial and organisational support from the Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland Integrated Care System’s Academy. As a CC-BY-NC-ND resource, anyone may use these films as part of a holistic equality-minded training or continual professional development program.
