When visiting services you may be asked about your gender identity and your sexual partners if relevant. This helps offer you the right care and use the pronouns and language you prefer.
We understand language matters and what is considered ‘correct’ will vary over time. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if we need to make any changes, we welcome your feedback.
We have some useful information on sexual identity and gender identity here.
