Have you been invited for your 3 yearly mammogram? Don’t delay in booking your appointment. Anyone registered with a GP as female will be invited for NHS breast screening every 3 years between the ages of 50 and 71. You'll get a letter in the post inviting you. You'll automatically get your first invite for breast screening between the ages of 50 and 53. Then you'll be invited every 3 years until you turn 71. During breast screening you'll have 4 breast X-rays (mammograms), 2 for each breast. The mammogram only takes a few minutes and the whole appointment should take about 30 minutes. ➡️ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/breast-screening-mammogram/ ➡️ https://www.yorkhospitals.nhs.uk/our-services/organdonation/a-z-of-services/breast-screening-service/
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. 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. 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.
