What is an NHS Rainbow Badge?

NHS Rainbow Badges are being worn by Guys and St Thomas' staff to send a message of inclusion. Rainbow badges show that we are an open, non-judgemental and inclusive place for people that identify as LGBT+. LGBT+ stands for lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender and the + means that we are inclusive of all identities, regardless of how people define themselves. Wearing the badge is a sign that the wearer is someone you can talk to about issues of sexuality and gender identity. When staff sign up to wear the badge they are provided with information about the challenges people who identify as LGBT+ can face accessing healthcare and what they can do to support them. The badge is an NHS logo superimposed on the rainbow pride flag and can be worn on lanyards or uniforms. The NHS Rainbow Badges initiative was created by staff with the help of Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity funding.
