Join Dr Rhys (he/him) and explore LGBTI+ health and what we can do as healthcare professionals to better care for the LGBTI+ community. Each week Dr Rhys will chat with an expert and give you actionable tips to help your patients today. This podcast is for GPs, hospital doctors, medical students, nurses and other healthcare providers who want to go beyond being “LGBTI-friendly” and become more confident with the specific health risks and concerns that affect the LGBTI+ community.
If one of your LGBTI+ patients were experiencing domestic & family violence, would you know how to pick it up? Would you know what to do to support them? 1 in 3 LGBTI+ people experiences violence from a partner, ex-partner, or family member. Unfortunately, the research shows that LGBTI people are less likely to find support services that meet their specific needs.
Dr Rhys chats with Ben Bjarnesen, an LGBTI+ Domestic Violence advocate, about domestic & family violence affecting the LGBTI+ community.
In this episode we'll answer these questions:
- What is domestic and family violence and what types of abuse are unique to the LGBTI+ community?
- What challenges may LGBTI+ people face in seeking support?
- How can healthcare professionals recognise when someone may be experiencing domestic and family violence?
- What can healthcare professionals do if someone asks for help or support?

Talking about sex | Episode 2
Do you talk to your LGBTI+ patients about sex? When you take a sexual history, is it gender-inclusive? Many medical schools teach students to ask the question, “Do you have sex with men, women, or both?” during a sexual history. We look at how that might not be the best place to start...
Dr Rhys chats with Clinton Morgan, clinic nurse at the Queensland Council for LGBTI+ Health, about how to take a better sexual history.
In this episode, we'll answer these questions:
- Why should we take a sexual history from our LGBTI+ patients?
- How do you invite people to talk about sex?
- How do you ask for details like sexuality & types of sex in an inclusive way?
- What about toys?

Sex, gender & sexuality | Episode 1
There's a lot to talk about when it comes to LGBTI+ health. Before we can get started it's important to have an idea of the important constructs that help define members of the LGBTI+ community. It all comes down to sex, gender & sexuality.
In this episode, we'll answer these questions:
- What is the difference between sex and gender?
- What genders are there outside of male & female?
- What's the difference between transgender & non-binary?
- Is there more to sexuality than straight, gay & bi?
