Pride Month 2025: Celebrating Diversity, Promoting Inclusion
This June, we proudly celebrate Pride Month 2025—a time to honour the LGBTQ+ community, reflect on progress made, and reaffirm our commitment to equality, dignity, and inclusive care for all.
🌈 What is Pride Month?
Pride Month is a vibrant and inclusive celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, their history, achievements, and ongoing fight for equality. It commemorates the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ rights, and serves as a reminder of the importance of acceptance, diversity, and love.
Pride in the NHS
We are committed to providing compassionate, inclusive, and respectful care to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or background.
Pride Month is an opportunity to:
- Celebrate our LGBTQ+ patients, staff, and allies.

- Promote safe, supportive environments for all.
