12:00 pm – 12:30 pm
This session will aim to provide a respectful, entertaining and informative discussion around the themes for the week:
Using (gender) pronouns – why they’re important not only for those who identify as part of the LGBTIQ community but for everyone in a safe and welcoming health service.
Understanding Gender Identity – What is gender identity and why does it matter to health services? How can we create a culture where everyone’s experience and expression of their gender identity (and how they want to be addressed/treated), is not only respected but embraced.
About your hosts
Kirsty Webeck

Reuben Kaye
Imagine if Joan Collins, Tim Curry and Meow Meow all dropped a stack of narcotics and had an orgy… Now roll it in jewels and bathtub gin and you’re halfway there.
After appearances on Channel 4 and on BBC’s You’re Fired, multi-award winning, Australian comedian, singer and self proclaimed part-time hood ornament Reuben Kaye is the danger man to watch. Kaye is fast, on the edge and brutally funny.
An explosion of sequins, lashes and teeth, a much needed, hysterically funny, swarovski studded revolt against the ever narrowing views of an increasingly conservative world. Reuben Kaye is what happens when you tell your children they can be anything.
