Did you know that women aged 16-64yrs can access antibiotics for a UTI direct from a community pharmacy. Women with typical symptoms of a bladder infection eg. burning, passing urine more often or smelly urine can head straight to their pharmacy without needing to speak to a GP.

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 Identity Disorder medications. As a local system, we have raised concerns about patient safety in 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.
Patients already on hormone therapy for GID 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.
