Title: UK Trans* healthcare
Post by: Megan. on September 29, 2018, 02:20:34 AM
Apologies if this has already been posted, but a very interesting document suggesting that trans healthcare in England will likely see some major change and hopefully improvement over the next few years.

https://www.engage.england.nhs.uk/survey/gender-identity-services-for-adults/user_uploads/specialised-gender-dysphoria-service-specifications.pdf

This document looks both promising to me, and also finally identifies that many trans people do not seek surgery,  but do require effective medical support.

Thanks for that Megan. I will give that a good read before my 2nd surgical referral appt next Wednesday. It may contain new info that I can discuss.

I think it's only proposal stage at this point. It indicates a timescale of a couple of years following some pilot areas. - it will be interesting to follow where those are.
