Abstract
This article explores the historical and contemporary experiences of LGBTQ+ professionals in healthcare, focusing on discrimination, inclusion initiatives, and the structural and cultural changes needed to create equitable environments. Drawing on recent studies, surveys, and reports from the UK and US, it highlights the systemic barriers LGBTQ+ health professionals face, the persona struggles from workplace bullying and the vital role of staff networks, inclusive policies, and allyship. Evidence suggests that visibility, support, and strong leadership commitment can mitigate workplace inequalities, improve staff wellbeing and performance, and enhance patient care outcomes.
