Pride in Medicine – building awareness and respect

WorldPride is the biggest event on the world’s LGBTQIA+ calendar. This year, it’s being hosted by Sydney – the first time WorldPride is held in the Southern hemisphere – coinciding with the iconic Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras. This year, RACS is participating in WorldPride alongside several other medical colleges. The involvement has come about through the advocacy of a new LGBTQIA+ community, Pride in Medicine. Two key figures of the group are Dr Matt Marino, a surgical Fellow who is President of Pride in Medicine and Dr Sarah Rennie, Aotearoa New Zealand Surgical Advisor and a driver of this initiative for RACS. Both participated in the Mardi Gras parade. The College’s participation demonstrates its advocacy on behalf of the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQIA+ communities. It is also part of the College’s strategic focus of building a culture of respect and embracing diversity as well as serving all communities equitably to build sustainable surgical services.
