^{_{NHS LOTHIAN | STAFF NETWORKS}}

LGBT+ Staff & Allies Network (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender +)

Membership of the Network is primarily aimed at NHS Lothian employees who identify as LGBT+; however, those who identify as allies or have a positive interest in LGBT+ matters are also welcome to join the membership and attend associated events.

Quarterly Network Meetings

Our next meeting will be Thursday 11 April, 5-6pm. We’ll be discussing plans for Pride, including meeting for Edinburgh Pride. We’ll also be joined by Robert Aitken, Associate Director of Operations, Estates & Facilities, to talk about the Estates & Facilities Equality & Diversity Plan.

Virtual Catch-up

Join us for our monthly lunchtime virtual catch-up in our Teams channel. All are welcome!

As the last few Thursday catch-ups haven’t been well attended, we’re switching up the days to see what works best. Here are the days for the next few months (all 12.30-13.30):

• Monday 29 April – Pride planning meeting
• Wednesday 29 May
• Monday 24 June

If you have any feedback on what day works best, let us know!
