We have recently written to the Minister of @CommunitiesNI to urge for a ban on conversion therapy. Thanks to our GP colleagues for speaking out and sharing their personal experiences. @laurence903 : "Conversion therapy is wrong and has no place in a modern society."

With over 70 orgs, we've written to @DUPleader & @moneillsf calling for a Loneliness Strategy for NI. GPs often see the devastating impacts of loneliness firsthand & sadly the pandemic has worsened the situation for many. We must work together to tackle loneliness! #StayConnected
