Mel Duffy's LGBTQ+ research showcased on X by funding agency
Dr Mel Duffy's research project funded by the Irish Research Council aims to upskill homecare workers in caring for LGBTQ+ people.
The upskilling will be done through an online training module developed by Dr Duffy who would like to see a symbol that indicates when a carer has successfully completed the module.
The module was developed with reference to interviews that were done with older LGBTQ+ people, as well as surveys of home care providers.
