Could you perhaps just talk us through a little bit about what the definitions here, what these mean, and particularly as clinicians, when we see patients who may identify within that group, what might we be thinking and what are the differences?
7:00
Yeah, absolutely.
7:02
So LGBTQIA plus can be defined in many different ways, but it's generally individuals who are lesbian.
7:10
That's what the L stands for.
7:11
Gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning.
7:16
Questioning would just be lesbian.

You're not sure if you're part of the community or you're not sure what label feels right for you.

So I wonder perhaps from your perspective, What can we do to make written communication with our patients more inclusive? Should it be for the doctor to inquire beforehand with the pronouns that the patient would like to use? Are there clues that we can pick up? What would you suggest to the clinicians who are listening when they're thinking about written communication to someone within the community? What kind of signals could we pick up on? What's the best way of addressing that to make sure that that patient feels included with the communications we make relating to their care?
