- PublicationHealthcare Rights for Gender and Sexual MinoritiesThere is broad consensus that a key factor for human flourishing is access to safe, effective, and appropriate healthcare. Whilst health inequalities exist for many marginalised and minoritised groups, the impact of broader social inequities on healthcare delivery and health outcomes is particularly notable in gender and sexual minority groups. Health inequalities faced by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and other gender and sexual minority groups exist across domains of physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing; many stemming from experiences of broad social exclusion and discrimination, explained through the concept of ‘Minority Stress’. This chapter will explore the concept of health inequality and inequity faced by LBGTQI+ groups, considering the relationships between social inclusion, legislative protection, and access to healthcare. It will also question why, even in societies with high acceptance rates of gender and sexuality diversity, health inequalities remain evident. Furthermore, the chapter will present strategies to enhance the healthcare rights of sexual and gender minority groups.
15 - PublicationIntegrating Universal Design for Learning with an Enquiry-Based Learning Approach to Social Justice in Healthcare EducationSocial injustices and inequalities are significant issues within healthcare and are inextricably linked to poorer healthcare outcomes. In developing a module which aims to empower healthcare practitioner students to challenge injustices, within society and healthcare systems, a combined hybrid enquiry-based learning with UDL underpinnings was adopted. In this way, learners were empowered and facilitated to take leadership in their own learning while being supported to engage through multiple means of engagement, representation, action, and expression.
24 - PublicationQueer Expressions: Intersections of Sexuality, Identity and Healthcare for Irish Gay MenThis chapter offers an insight into how issues of identity, sexuality and healthcare interactions intersect for Irish Gay Men. Grounded in original research with twelve Irish Gay Men, their experiences of discussing sexuality in healthcare contexts offer an insight into how this group conceptualise and express their sexuality and how this steers the way they engage with healthcare practitioners. Irish Gay Men offer an expression of sexuality which is both a being and a doing, and contextually located to place, space and social encounters. Their encounters with healthcare professionals are scaffolded by expectations and observations and they carefully navigate how disclosure of their gayness and discussions of sexuality take place. This chapter not only allows insight into how these men make sense of their own experiences, but furthermore offers a conceptual insight into how healthcare encounters might be understood and responded to through practice.
