Gender Diversity

 

< Back to policies & procedures

We are welcoming of gender-diverse patients. 

We can offer all standard GP services.

Bridging prescription service update

We would like to inform our patients that the practice is no longer providing new hormone bridging prescriptions.

Patients who are already on the existing waiting list will still be seen, but we are unable to add any new patients. This decision has been made in light of reduced waiting times for Indigo Gender Services and the upcoming retirement of Dr James later this year.

We remain committed to supporting our transgender and gender-diverse patients. Although we are not initiating new bridging prescriptions, we continue to offer:

  • Support and advice around gender-affirming care
  • General health care for all patients
  • Referrals to Indigo Gender Services, if requested

If you have questions about the existing waiting list, please contact the practice and ask for Heather.

Thank you for your understanding.

We are able to change your name and gender market on you records at your request, for advice and guidance on this please contact Persephone who will assist you. We are also happy to supply passport letters and GRC certificates where appropriate, to obtain one please contact the practice
