LGBT History Month: What’s on in Edinburgh?
In our previous blog post, we explained how YourGP is helping to support and raise awareness of LGBT History Month 2015, an awareness campaign to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender lives and culture, and challenge prejudice and discrimination.
In Scotland, LGBT History Month is managed by LGBT Youth Scotland, and its volunteers have collaborated with groups and organisations all over the country to deliver a programme of arts, cultural and educational events.

I was directed to YourGP by my health insurance when traveling on Scotland. I was with intense pain on my feet and had an appointment with Dr Doogan, and what an incredible doctor she is!
She explained everything with the most detail and patience possible, listened even with more patience and care, it’s so rare nowadays seeing passionate doctors for their jobs like Dr Doogan.
