Did you know you can see test results, records of your consultations and request repeat medications on the NHSapp. There are lots of videos on the NHS YouTube channel to show you the benefits: https://youtu.be/3ejGwCTCtnM?si=tMM4bwdT6kO-zzHv The Patient association also has a great how-to video. https://www.patients-association.org.uk/online-gp-access-and-the-nhs-app-recording
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.
