Education & Activism
GLADD has a respected national voice in LGBTQ+ health activism and education, working with leading figures such as the British Medical Association, General Medical Council, Royal Colleges and Parliament. We collaborate with universities and the NHS to further research into LGBTQ+ health issues and deliver training aimed at empowering those working in and studying healthcare to tackle discrimination in support of their LGBTQ+ colleagues and patients.
Get Involved
You can keep up to date with what GLADD is doing on X, Instagram and LinkedIn. If you would like to get involved with our current projects or have an idea of how we can support your work, please get in touch. Whether you would like to help deliver LGBTQ+ teaching locally, run a research project or have seen an opportunity for improving LGBTQ+ health & healthcare, we’d love to hear from you.

Students make up a significant proportion of our GLADD membership and there are opportunities all year round for you to get involved with our work and community.

The committee are all working professionals and full time students so please allow a minimum of 5 working days for your query to be answered. We observe the usual principles of confidentiality for all communications with us.
