The study found that LGBT+ women face "blatant discrimination" and a "surprising level of ignorance" in the healthcare system.
It highlights numerous cases where s-xual minority women (SMW) experienced difficulties at the hands of medics and administrators.
In one case, a respondent to the research said: “In 2008 I had knee surgery and woke up on a male ward—clearly they had looked at my face and overruled my notes.”
Ignorance and discrimination continue to this day, the report, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found.
Others said same-sex partners were not accepted by health service workers.
