On Thursday, 10 October, LGBTIQ+ Health Australia hosted the first part of its two-part symposium, showcasing groundbreaking health and medical research aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQA+ communities in Australia.
Presenters included Prof James Ward, Prof Mark Hughes, Dr Megan Ross, Dr Alison Kennedy, Dr James Lucas, Dr Amie O'Shea, Dr Ada Cheung, and Dr Paul Simpson.
Supported by a $26 million investment from the Medical Research Future Fund's Emerging Priorities and Consumer Driven Research Initiative, 13 ground-breaking projects have been initiated to transform health outcomes for LGBTIQA+ people. This symposium series offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from the researchers leading these important studies.
The discussions explored how these projects are advancing LGBTIQA+ health research in innovative ways, and addressed emerging trends, challenges, and solutions in LGBTIQA+ healthcare.
