In this episode of Outcomes, Will Egan speaks with LGBTQIA+ advocate Matthew Robert Parsons (they/them), co-author of the updated Rainbow Tick framework. Matthew discusses the importance of challenging the “default script” in healthcare — the outdated assumptions about gender, sexuality, and bodies that exclude LGBTQIA+ individuals from equitable care.

Matthew shares their journey from disability support to LGBTQIA+ advocacy, explaining how the Rainbow Tick accreditation helps organisations create inclusive, safe environments. They highlight the importance of language, representation, and breaking down barriers to access, ensuring that LGBTQIA+ people feel seen and supported.

Tune in to discover how changing the default script can transform healthcare systems, foster inclusivity, and improve outcomes for marginalised communities.
