Transgender Client, Sam and his Mum arrive at the Outpatient tower and work out which floor the clinic is on.
We made it! Now where do we go? Where do we check-in and where is the Waiting Room? The area feels warm and they start to relax.
Sam and his Mum are greeted by the Unit Clerk who completes the check-in for his appointment. She confirms his preferred name and pronouns. The desk is clearly identified and there is an opportunity to provide feedback.
A warm welcoming wait. Warm colors, a homely environment which provides an opportunity for relaxation. QR code on the wall which links to the AHS LGBTQ2S+ page. Magazines and reading available for anyone while they wait.
A large mural across the wall showing the LGBTQ2+ community that this is a safe space where they will not feel harassed. It shows all other patients/ clients and their familiy members exiting the elevators on the 7th floor our support and care for everyone.
