Best practises for caring for LGBTQ+ people in GI with Alexander Goldowsky

In this episode of UEG Talks, host Egle and co-host Charles Murray sit down with Alexander Goldowsky, a gastroenterologist and gut microbiome expert, to explore the unique healthcare challenges faced by sexual and gender minority (SGM) groups. They discuss the stigma and discrimination that impact SGM patients, the broader implications for their health, and the urgent need for greater awareness, education, and advocacy in gastroenterology. Alexander also introduces Rainbows in Gastro, a pioneering initiative aimed at improving SGM healthcare within the field, and highlights the role of individual responsibility in driving meaningful change. https://rainbowsingastro.org/
