‘Pride Month is important to me because it celebrates authenticity, visibility, and inclusion. It also reminds patients, families, and staff that everyone deserves to feel safe, represented, and valued in healthcare.’ As part of the LGBTQ+ community, Gian is a Practice Development Nurse at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust whose role consists of supporting and training nurses who care for patients with blood cancer and complex blood conditions. 'I love being part of a diverse, supportive community. It continuously encourages learning, innovation, and teamwork, providing opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. I help staff build their confidence, skills, and knowledge so that our patients receive high-quality, compassionate care.’ If you work for the NHS, find out what activities are taking place over Pride Month, and what support is available for you if you need it, by searching for your organisation’s LGBTQ+ staff network.
