LGBTQ+ Pride Practice

Lepton & Kirkheaton surgeries are committed to being a safe and inclusive space for all our patients, we strive to achieve inclusivity for everyone and to ensure we provide quality care equally.

Pride in Practice works to improve the experiences of LGBTQ+ people accessing primary care services. Our practice has achieved a ‘pride in practice bronze award’ and we are now working towards our silver award.

We have a Patient Participation Group who meet 4 times a year, the group helps us to develop the services and care we offer at the surgery, please contact [email protected] to get involved.
