Gay Doctors Ireland (GDI) is an organisation of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) physicians and medical students in Ireland. It was founded in 2010 as Ireland's first association for LGBT doctors.[1][2]

Purpose

GDI is an educational, professional and social support network for LGBT doctors and medical students. The group's inaugural annual general meeting featured Doctor Jesse Ehrenfeld of Harvard University.[1][3][4]

Activities

Among the issues addressed by the group is the Irish Blood Transfusion Service controversial ban on gay men donating blood.[5][6] In September 2011, GDI criticised Deputy Brian Walsh's efforts to deny surgery to transgender patients.[7][8]

In April 2011, GDI announced an annual LGBT Health Research Bursary for medical students, the first of its kind in Ireland.[9]
