Abstract:
LGBTIQ+ individuals (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, +) frequently encounter issues specific to them in their healthcare journey, including various forms of discrimination. However, healthcare professionals often lack knowledge or awareness of these issues. The palliative phase of an illness is naturally a period of increased vulnerability. A better understanding of these issues is necessary in order to provide individualized support to LGBTIQ+ patients in palliative care and their loved ones. This article discusses ways to improve this support.
