Every year the government and NHS take advice from the JVCI to decide who are the most vulnerable patients and who would most benefit from a flu jab or a covid jab. This means that you might be invited one year, and not the next. We can only invite and vaccinate patients who are in the up to date “at risk” groups. The UK Health Security Agency have some really useful blogs explaining who is eligible for covid and flu jabs. Not everyone who is able to have a free NHS flu jab, can access a Covid-19 vaccination. https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2025/09/01/your-guide-to-whos-eligible-for-the-autumn-2025-flu-vaccine/ https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/26/whos-eligible-for-the-2025-covid-19-vaccine-or-autumn-booster/
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.
