This commentary suggests the need for a universal precautions approach to stigma in health care, that focuses on recognising that all people may experience stigma and discrimination targeted at one or more aspects of their identities, attributes, practices and health conditions. Drawing on health system precepts of equity, access and quality of care, we argue that a universal precautions approach to reducing stigma of all origins can effect everyday aspects of policy, procedure and practice to improve outcomes for individuals and for population health.
