Responding to NHS Confederation’s launch of its new Health and Care LGBTQ+ Leaders network, NHS Providers deputy chief executive Saffron Cordery said:

"During Pride month, it is great to see NHS Confederation launch its new Health and Care LGBTQ+ Leaders network.

"It is really important that we support and celebrate the leadership and contribution of LGBTQ+ staff across the health and care system, to foster and promote an inclusive culture and call out prejudice and discrimination whenever it happens."
