Hosted by the ASMIRT QLD Branch, this important online seminar will explore how medical radiation practitioners can enhance care for LGBTIQA+ patients by better understanding their experiences, needs, and challenges in the clinical setting.
The session will unpack the cultural, social, and personal sensitivities that shape patient interactions, discuss the barriers LGBTIQA+ communities face in accessing quality healthcare, and explore how practitioners can adapt their approach to deliver inclusive, safe, and affirming care.
