membership. Replace with num_members.purpose. It should be removed.The Association of LGBTQ+ Doctors and Dentists, more commonly known as GLADD, is a voluntary association in the United Kingdom which represents doctors, dentists, dental students, and medical students who identify as LGBTQ+. The organisation provides professional and social support to LGBT medical and dental professionals, as well as campaigning for and raising awareness of LGBT issues as they relate to medicine and dentistry, such as homophobia or transphobia in medical care or in the workplace, blood donation restrictions on men who have sex with men, gender-affirming care, and discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS. Established in 1995 as the Gay & Lesbian Association of Doctors and Dentists, the organisation brought together several previous groups representing LGBTQ+ medical and dental professionals.
