Questions & Issues for NHS/United Kingdom Members

[Kieron Andrew]

here is a list of gender clinics in the UK, unfortunately most primary care trusts seem to have a contract with charing cross which means travelling for most of us

Glasgow GIC, Sandyford, Glasgow
Leeds Gender Identity Services, Leeds
Charing Cross Hospital Hammersmith, London
Nottingham GIC, Nottingham
Porterbrook GIC, Sheffield
The Laurels Community Mental Health Team, Newton Abbot (soon to be moving to Exeter)

In all from seeing my GP in Sep/Oct 2009 to getting a date in May 2010 to have my first appointment at Leeds was almost 8 months.

8 months is brilliant Nigella, i hear horror stories about girls within northern PCTs that say they have waited over 2 years and more...i waited 6 months myself to go to charing cross
