How to find an NHS gender identity clinic
Trans and non-binary people's general health needs are the same as anyone else's. But trans people may have specific health needs in relation to gender dysphoria or gender reassignment, or confirmation.
Your particular needs may be best addressed by transgender health services offered by NHS gender dysphoria clinic.
Your GP can refer you directly to one of the eight gender dysphoria clinics. You do not need an assessment by a mental health service beforehand. Neither does your GP need prior approval from their Integrated Care Board (ICB).
Although awareness of trans and non-binary health issues has increased, some GPs may not have much experience with trans health issues or gender dysphoria.
The NHS has some helpful information on what to expect when you talk to your GP and how to prepare for your NHS gender dysphoria clinic appointment.
