Pride In Practice – LGBTQ+ Patients
Cumberland House Surgery is working to ensure we achieve excellence in LGBTQ+ healthcare and successfully meet the needs of our LGBTQ+ patients.
We are open to all and are dedicated to protecting diversity and equality. We are here to listen to suggestions and feedback from our LGBTQ+ patients on their experiences with us. If you have something you want to share or feel would help us in this process, please let us know.
Our practice is supported by LGBT Foundation’s Pride in Practice service to improve the experiences of LGBTQ+ people accessing primary care services.
