Ambulance trust listed as one of the most gay-friendly healthcare organisations
The London Ambulance Service (LAS) is one of the most gay-friendly healthcare organisations in the country, according to a charity.
Stonewall published the results of its Healthcare Equality Index, which places the LAS in the top ten.
Steph Adams, joint chairman of the service’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender forum and Greenwich Ambulance Operations Manager, said: “We are proud once again to be listed as a top ten performer on the Index, leading the way for inclusive services for all.
“It is really important for us to recognise healthcare issues for all groups of patients and ensure our response recognises the needs of the individual.”
The service was rated the sixth highest NHS organisation on the list and is the only ambulance NHS trust to make the list.
