Thanks to all the PMG teams giving up their Saturday to protect our patients. The weekend flu and covid vaccination clinics have started and running smoothly (despite the weather!). We have a few walk in slots for patients who are eligible - pop in to Fulford, Rawcliffe, Heworth Green and Priory Medical Centre. https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vaccine/ https://www.nhs.uk/vaccinations/covid-19-vaccine/
Gender Identity Services
Leeds Gender Identity Clinic
Leeds Gender Identity Service accept referrals for patients aged 17+ from our practice and they also accept self-referrals. Referrals can be made using the form found on their website.
PMG will not take on any new requests for shared care agreements (SCA) for Gender Dysphoria/Incongruence. Along with other local GP practices, we have raised concerns about patient safety. This is due to the absence of a funded, formal shared care agreement process with NHSE, as unmonitored hormone prescribing can cause serious complications to a patient's health. See policy on our prescribing page.
Patients already on hormone therapy will continue to be reviewed, but should complications or concerns arise- the medication may need to be stopped or reduced and re-referral back to the Leeds Specialist Clinic- as there is no current SCA support for Prescribers.
