Case study – a Schwartz Round on being LGBTQ+

Ashford and St Peter's NHS Foundation Trust 22 July 2021 Case study

A case study on a Schwartz Round held at Ashford and St Peter’s NHS Foundation Trust entitled ‘Be You, Be Accepted, Be Different’.

Topics and programmes


In March 2021, as part of ‘Schwartz Celebrates Diversity’ month, Ashford and St Peter’s NHS Foundation Trust ran a Round entitled Be You, Be Accepted, Be Different’.

Nearly 40 staff met to hear colleagues sharing their story about what it is like to be LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer/Questioning and all genders/identities).

LGBTQ+ staff have grown up in a world feeling different and sometimes discriminated against. This affects how comfortable people are with themselves, their esteem, motivation at work and career progression.
