Transgender Awareness Week 13 – 19 November

November 14, 2023

Here at Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust we celebrate Transgender Awareness week.

The 13 – 19 November marks Transgender Awareness Week for 2023. The week’s purpose is to celebrate transgender joy and all members of the trans community, whilst also highlighting the struggles the community faces and elevating the voices of gender non-conforming people.  Monday 20 November this year marks Trans Remembrance Day, dedicated to memorialising transgender people who lost their lives to transphobic violence.

Sandwell and West Birmingham support our Transgender colleagues and patients. Please support them to be their true selves and to feel comfortable.
