LGBTQ+ History Month is an annual event recognising the rich and diverse history of the LGBT+ community, and a time to reflect on the contributions and honour the struggles of LGBTQ+ people both in the past and today.

This year's theme is Medicine - #UnderTheScope, which celebrates LGBTQ+ peoples' contribution to the field of Medicine and Healthcare.
