• How can you implement the guidelines in your current practice?
• What are the most important/useful parts of the guideline?
• Which of these are you already following?
• Which of these should you put more effort into to follow?
• Why is it important to have different guidelines for LGB and T? What are the differences/similarities in the guidelines?
