Here at the Old School Surgery we are an LGBTQ+ inclusive practice, and pride ourselves in being able to offer a safe and welcoming place to all. Within our practice we have a Mental Health Advanced Nurse Practitioner who has speciality training in supporting the LGBT+ community and is passionate about this extended level of knowledge being available, should this be something you feel would be valuable to your experience when contacting us regarding mental health or LGBTQ+ related concerns – you can ask to book in with Naomi.
One to start with…
What is LGBTQ+ month?
Pride Month is celebrated every June as a tribute to those who were involved in the Stonewall Riots. We’re getting ready to dust off our rainbow flags, douse ourselves in glitter, and go join in the fun. With parades, festivals, and concerts going on across the globe, there’s always some way for you to get involved — as well as learn some important social history along the way.

Something about the importance of them, and that as a surgery we recognise this is vital for some in feeling correctly gendered. We want to hear from you?… Let us know what your pronouns are!
