Pivot Nova Scotia Webinar: Barriers to 2S/LGBTQIA+ Healthcare and Creating Meaningful Community Engagement with Nova Scotia Health
Pivot Nova Scotia is a community-based 2S/LGBTQIA+ health leadership program that provides community members with the tools to create systemic changes in our healthcare system. The Pivot NS 2020 cohort recently completed their systems change project to assess clinic competency in 2S/LGBTQIA+ healthcare throughout the province. This webinar will consist of Pivot leaders sharing insights gathered from the analysis of data provided by clinics, as well as the systemic barriers encountered that prevent meaningful engagement between the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community and health providers. Future recommendations will be discussed, specifically around what inclusive care looks like and how to improve Nova Scotia Health’s outdated communication system. Community members and health providers are encouraged to attend this event as perspectives from each of these groups are essential for the implementation of these solutions.
