Our vision

To further LGBT+ inclusion in Healthcare and Life Sciences Sector globally.

  • We want members of the LGBTQ+ community to fulfill their potential and enhance the working experiences of others.

  • We want to help create environments that are safe for all LGBTQ+ people, our allies and other intersectional communities of difference to transition from being or wanting to be invisible to knowing they are able to be visible if and when they choose without negative consequences.

  • We want to help raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues and what LGBTQ+ people face to support empathy that will lead to understanding, acceptance and support for LGBTQ+ individuals.

  • We want to increase LGBTQ+ inclusion because this is good for business, for teams and for individuals.

Our Aims

We aim to achieve our vision by:

  1. Work together and with external experts to enable the creation and sharing of best practices and resources between our LGBTQ+ employee network groups.

  2. We will provide a forum for developing an appropriate, collective response to LGBT issues that benefit Healthcare and Life Science Sector organisations; this will reflect Alliance members’ commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion internally and externally.

  3. We will create a supportive network for LGBT employees in which to meet and discuss issues impacting LGBT employees in their day-to-day work environment and take appropriate action to solve or resolve these issues.

  4. We will harness the network to positively promote the healthcare and Life Sciences Sector in the community to diversify the talent pool applying to join our organisations. 

  5. We will influence and support cross organisation strategic discussion of LGBT+ issues, talking and working across our Global LGBT Councils or equivalent to influence how our companies support and embrace a focus on LGBT+ inclusion and diversity.

  6. We will serve as a collective resource to our organisations, helping them to think about and make suggestions for how we can be more reflective of the patients, consumer and communities we serve.
