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.
