Hi All,
I was referred to the Laurels NHS GIC and as yet haven't had my induction appointment, I did however successfully complete my transition by starting my hormones privately and living in another country with better Gender healthcare than UK for nearly 5 years.
My UK GP has quite happily been prescribing my patches for over 2 years now without any consultation with a private or NHS gender service but rightly so they are now get a bit concerned as they know we can't just stop the patches but need to make sure dose is ok.
I have just started working full time with a company and get health insurance with a company called Healix (Mayfair) it looks like I get Gender Dysphoria covered on my insurance so I am thinking of finding a private gender clinic preferably in southwest near Bristol does anyone know of any?
Also maybe a new speech therapist
Thanks
Carla
