Abstract

The article focuses on the role of the charity Opening Doors London in England in reducing health inequalities and disparities for older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people. It warns about the adverse effect of discrimination on access to and experience of health care services for LGBTQ+ people and discusses the aim of Opening Doors London to combat isolation and promote independence, well-being and self-esteem in older LGBTQ+ people.
