We are delighted to be observing Pride Month again this year!
FPM is a place where both members and staff can be their authentic selves, free from discrimination. Pride Month is a valuable opportunity to visibly demonstrate our allyship with marginalised communities and to affirm that FPM is a welcoming and inclusive organisation for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
As part of showing our support of this international initiative, we’ve changed our social media visuals to reflect Pride colours and have shared a short message which will be pinned to the top of our LinkedIn feed throughout June.
Dr Bu Siakpere, Chair of FPM's EDI Forum, says:
“FPM works through its membership to ensure that all individuals, irrespective of personal characteristics, are served with consideration and respect to achieve the best possible outcomes.
The LGBTQ+ community may or may not be visible and we recognise that in order to focus research, development and use of medicines, vaccines and medical devices, we must continue to engage across members and communities with LGBTQ+ identities and lived experiences. This way, we can learn and increase understanding of how to meet their needs in a rapidly evolving healthcare, social and institutional environment globally.”
