Routine to getting T. on the NHS?

I'm wondering what is the routine for getting Testosterone on the NHS in the UK? There might be a possibility for me to try Hormone Blockers soon, and I'm pretty sure for both you need to be seeing a Gender Therapist for a certain amount of time. I'm considering calling one soon, but I'd like to know what other steps are needed. So, for the guys in the UK who got T. on the NHS, how did you do it? What steps are necessary?
Thanks!

I'm not sure about blockers but I know the first step is going to your gp and getting them to refer you to a therapist, it doesn't need to be a gender specialist. I already had one so I don't know how long this takes. I'm not sure how long you have to see them for but I think it's at least 3 sessions then they refer you to a GIC.

Your first stop is to make an appointment with your GP, they will usually refer you to the nearest Gender Identity Clinic. I've just got mine through. I'm both scared and excited at the same time.

I wish you luck.
