Tavistock and Portman

Gender identity clinic (GIC)

Sub services:, available in:, we help people with.

  • Gender dysphoria

The gender identity clinic is the largest and oldest gender clinic in the UK, dating back to 1966. We accept referrals from all over the UK for people with issues related to gender.

We are a multi-disciplinary administrative and clinical team, including psychologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists and speech and language therapists. We work together in order to provide holistic gender care, focusing on the biological/medical, psychological and social aspects of gender.

What to expect

In order to assess your individual needs and goals, we ask a number of questions about your background, current circumstances and future plans. The purpose of these questions is to help us gain a clear idea of how we can help you.

Based on your individual needs and circumstances your clinician will explore with you what may happen next with your gender care. For example, if you would like to, but have not yet made a social gender role transition, they may explore with you any possible obstacles in your way and help you consider ways to address these.

Additionally, in order to support you through the transition process, clinicians may discuss with you the possibility of referrals to other services within the GIC or local to you (which your GIC clinician can ask your GP to make).

We will keep your GP up-to-date about your progression through the clinic and you will be copied into the reports sent. Your clinician will also be able to offer you information and advice about other forms of support that you may find helpful as you move along your gender care pathway.

How to access this service

Your GP or another health professional can refer you directly to the Gender Identity Clinic.

We also accept self-referrals via your GP.

Offering a fast & friendly service to help

Start your transition.

The Gender Clinic at Popelyuk Adult Psychiatry, 70 Harley Street, provides psychological assessments and diagnoses for people over 18 suffering from gender dysphoria.

We offer a fast , efficient & highly professional service for people seeking hormone therapy or surgery.

Why choose us.

Dr Popelyuk is a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist in gender medicine and his team of clinicians offer expert assessments to anyone aged 18 and over

Our supportive and responsive administrative team responds to enquiries within one working day.

We keep our average waiting time for psychological assessments to under three weeks.

Our assessments are accepted by surgeons and endocrine clinics across the UK and abroad.

Most of our consultations are held by way of a secure video link, so travel to London is not necessary to receive a diagnosis. We can, however, offer in person appointments for those who prefer to be seen in person.

Assessment reports are sent quickly to you and your chosen clinic or surgeon within 10 working days of your assessment.

Our admin team can guide you through every step of the simple assessment process.

Our previous patients speak very highly of us on TrustPilot

Our highly qualified clinicians are experienced in assessing and treating adults with a wide range of mental health conditions including ADHD, ASD, and more and can offer holistic mental health support should this be required

We are a gender clinic on Harley Street with a fast-turnaround & short waiting list .

We provide thorough assessments, diagnoses and/or referrals for medical transition treatment. We work very closely with the London Transgender Clinic, where most of our patients are referred for endocrine treatments or surgical procedures; however, we also refer our patients to other professionals and clinics across the UK and some abroad.

Dr Dmitri Popelyuk, consultant psychiatrist, is the head of our clinic. He works with a team of clinical psychologists and psychiatrists to diagnose gender dysphoria and recommend transgender and non-binary patients for medical transition.

We appreciate that some people who come to us have already been waiting to medically transition for a significant amount of time and this can be frustrating. That is why we strive to offer short waiting times for appointments and fast turnaround for reports so that patients can be assessed and progress to the next step in their medical transition as soon as possible.

Assessments for hormones or surgery can usually be completed within three weeks of booking with us, and you and your chosen clinic will receive your report within 10 working days/two working days of your appointment.

For more information, get in touch. We are happy to answer questions over the phone and will respond within one working day, usually less, to all emails and phone calls.

Assessment for recommendation towards medical transition

At The Gender Clinic, our doctors can provide an assessment for gender dysphoria along with a recommendation for hormone therapy or surgery within a few weeks. These assessments can usually be completed within the initial assessment with no follow up required. Our admin team can discuss your individual situation with you over the phone.

During the assessment, the clinician will speak with you to establish your history of gender dysphoria, ensure that you have no conditions that could serve as a contraindication and assess your mental capacity to confirm your ability to make fully informed decisions and protect the integrity of your assessment report.

They will also speak to someone who knows you well and can provide additional information. This enables us to accurately diagnose gender dysphoria within the initial assessment.

All our clinicians are experienced, friendly, and kind; they understand that, for some people, the nature of an assessment might seem daunting, and they are used to helping people overcome any anxiety they may have.

You are welcome to contact our administrative office ahead of your appointment if you have any further questions before your assessment and we will be happy to answer any questions or allay any fears you may have to ensure you have as smooth a process as possible.

We adhere to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) and International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/11) criteria for diagnosing Gender Dysphoria.

For treatment recommendations, we follow the World Professional Association for Transgender Health ‘Standards of Care for the Health of Transsexual, Transgender, and Gender Nonconforming People’, as well as the UK Intercollegiate ‘Good practice guidelines for the assessment and treatment of adults with gender dysphoria’.

* Follow up Appointments are often required for those who have seen us previously and wish to continue with their medical transition. For example, if you have started hormones but now wish to get surgery.

In some cases, where a patient has a particularly complex history or does not have a well-established history, follow up appointments are required in addition to the initial assessment to provide the initial diagnosis.

We provide electronic pdf change of gender letters to the DVLA and other bodies free of charge to those who have been assessed at our clinic. For hard copies of any letters/reports with a wet signature, which includes letters to the passport office, there is a small administrative fee of £25.

For information on general adult mental health assessments and treatment, please see our main clinic website at popelyuk.com

Initial Assessment (60 minutes) £500

Follow up appointment (30-40 mins) £350*.

Our psychiatrists & psychologists have a wide range of experiences treating patients.

What is Gender Identity?

Gender Identity is our sense of who we are and how we view ourselves. Most people identify as either “male” or “female” (known as binary identities). Some people feel that the way they identify does not fit this traditional gender binary (non-binary identity). Some people may prefer to use different terms outside the gender binary such as agender, gender diverse, enbe, bigender, gender queer and gender fluid.

What is Gender Dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria describes the sense of unease that some people feel because of a mismatch between their gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth.

The ICD-11 definition is as follows: Gender incongruence is characterised by a marked and persistent incongruence between an individual’s experienced gender and the assigned sex.

What is the minimum age for an assessment at The Gender Clinic?

This is an adult clinic so all patients must be aged 18 or over.

How long is the waiting list?

We aim to keep this as short as possible and generally can offer appointments within two to three weeks.

Can I be assessed remotely?

All of our appointments take place remotely. We have a very limited number of appointments that can take place in person at present. Being assessed remotely does not affect the validity of your final report or recommendation.

Do you accept insurance payments?

While some providers do not cover this sort of treatment, increasingly, many do. If your provider is prepared to cover the appointment, we require your policy number and authorisation code for the appointment. The appointment can only be confirmed once we have received a Guarantee of Payment from the insurer. Alternatively, you can pay the cost of the appointment yourself and we will be happy to provide you with an invoice by which you can reclaim the cost from your insurer.

Do you offer a payment plan?

Unfortunately, we are not in a position to offer a payment plan for the appointment. Payment is required in full at the time of booking.

How long will it take for my report to be sent to me?

We aim to send a draft of your report to you within 10 working days, so usually two full weeks, of your appointment. This will give you an opportunity to ensure the report is comprehensive, accurate and true.

Is there anything I need to prepare for the appointment?

After booking we ask you to complete a pre-assessment online questionnaire and provide some form of official photo ID (passport, driving licence, CitizensCard etc). For the assessment itself, there is nothing to prepare. Our advice to patients is that they simply be open and honest. Just be yourself!

What happens after I have had the assessment?

It will take us a few days to compile your report, but once this is complete it will be emailed to you securely for you to check through and confirm that it is accurate. Then we will send it on to your hormone clinic or surgeon as well as any other parties involved in your care such as your GP. You will then be free to arrange your appointment with your clinic or surgeon as soon as possible.

Will I need a follow-up appointment?

The majority of our gender clinic patients only require one appointment. Sometimes, however, follow-up appointments are necessary, this may because the patient has a particularly complex history. It is impossible to give any guarantees that follow-ups will not be necessary until the doctor has met you.

What is “collateral history”?

As part of the assessment process, the doctor would like to speak with someone close to you and has known you well for a period of time (at least 6 months and preferably longer). This could be a friend, partner or family member for example. This is to ascertain that what has been discussed in the appointment matches other people’s understanding of your situation regarding your transition. It also helps ensure no follow ups are required. If this is problematic, please speak to our admin team regarding possible alternatives.

Can I get a surgical and hormone referral at the same time?

As they are two separate procedures, we are not able to provide a referral for both hormone treatment and surgery at the same time. Guidelines around medical transition require there to be some time between commencing different types of treatment. Providing the appropriate length of time has been taken between treatments, we will be happy to see you again for a follow-up appointment for a different referral.

Can I cancel if I change my mind?

We operate a strict cancellation policy of two working days’ notice of any changes or cancellations. As long as you let us know before two working days ahead of your appointment, we can either reschedule your appointment for a later date or provide a full refund.

I need two referrals for gender confirmation surgery (bottom surgery), can I get both from your clinic?

Yes, as long as your surgeon is happy to accept both of these from the same clinic. It is worth checking this with your surgeon ahead of booking. If you know who your surgeon is when booking in, we may be able to tell you whether they have been happy to do this for our patients in the past.

How long do I need to have been on hormones to obtain a recommendation for GCS/bottom surgery?

A minimum of 12 months of continuous hormone therapy is usually required before you can be assessed for bottom surgery.

How long is my referral valid for?

While we do not put an expiry date on our assessment reports, most surgeons or clinics, would like your referral to be within 12 months from the date of the assessment. If your report is older than this, they may request that you have a follow up appointment with us before commencing treatment.

I have an assessment report and recommendation for hormones from The Gender Clinic already, can I have a further surgical recommendation?

Yes. This will be classed as a follow up appointment. Please note, for surgical referrals, we require some time to have passed since you started hormones before providing a second recommendation.

I am applying to change my gender marker on my passport/driving license, can I get a letter to support my application?

If you already have an assessment report from us, we can provide you with this letter free of charge.

I would like to apply for a gender recognition certificate, can I get a supporting letter from the Gender Clinic?

Details on how to apply for this can be found here:

Apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate: How to apply – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Please note, you will need to provide the evidence that you have been living in your experienced gender role for at least two years. Our report can be used as Medical Report A and can be attached to your application. We do not need to complete any aspect of the form on your behalf.

My priority is top surgery, do I need to be on hormones first?

Not always. While it is more typical that transgender men will have top surgery following starting on hormones, it is not always the case. Some non-binary individuals may also choose to have top surgery in the first instance. A decision regarding a recommendation is made on assessment on a case-by-case basis.

My first assessment was for hormones, how long do I need to wait before I can be assessed again with a view to obtaining a recommendation for top surgery?

Generally, our clinicians would like to see you at least four months after starting hormone therapy before they can assess you again and provide a surgical recommendation.

Do you see non-binary patients?

Yes. Our clinicians have assessed many people who identify as non-binary.

What reasonable adjustments can be made for people with disabilities?

If you have a disability and would prefer an face to face appointment, please let us know. Our consulting room at 70 Harley Street is up one flight of stairs and there is no elevator, however, an alternative room can be arranged if you have mobility issues and sufficient time is given ahead of the appointment to arrange such a space.

If you are hard of hearing/deaf, then we can arrange for your appointment to be held via Teams which has both the chat functionality and live closed captioning to help with your assessment. If you require a BSL interpreter, please note that as we are not working with the NHS or publicly funded, we cannot cover the costs of an interpreter and this would be the responsibility of the patient. We can help arrange an interpreter, should one be needed.

If you are mute, then the assessment can be completed via Teams chat; however, a follow up is likely to be needed due to the additional time needed to complete an assessment in this way.

For any other disabilities, please speak with our admin team regarding the nature of your disability and any difficulties an online or face-to-face assessment may present and we will see what adjustments we can make to ensure your assessment progresses as smoothly as possible.

Can you refer me to the NHS for either hormone treatment or surgery?

As a private clinic, unfortunately we are not able to refer any patients to NHS gender services. Currently, there are no clinics in the private sector who can refer to the NHS for gender affirming treatment, however many hormone clinics will try and set up a shared care agreement with your GP. We recommend speaking to those clinics directly for more information on how this works. 

Do your clinicians assess and treat patients for other mental health conditions?

All our clinicians work in the field of general adult mental health. Our psychiatrists (Dr Popelyuk, Dr Leontis and Dr Streeruwitz) have a number of trans or non-binary patients who they treat in their general adult clinic. We can offer assessments for ASD as well as assessment and treatment for ADHD and many other mental health conditions. For more information on the work we do outside of our Gender Clinic, please look at our website at popelyuk.com

We recognise you may have more questions and our admin team would be happy to answer them and explain the finer details of how an assessment works with you over the phone.

Gender Affirming Surgeries for Trans Patients

Gender surgeries alter the physical appearance of the body to address concerns such as gender dysphoria, where a person’s physical features do not match with the gender they mentally and emotionally relate to. Transgender men and non-binary patients may opt for FTM Top Surgery , which involves the surgeon removing the breasts, in a procedure known as a Mastectomy. This creates a flatter, more masculine looking chest. MTF Top Surgery creates a more feminine chest for trans women, using breast implants or fat transfer techniques, in a breast enlargement procedure. Gender top surgeries also regularly address the position, size, and shape of the nipples to ensure the final result is flattering and suits the overall body. Some MTF patients also choose to undergo facial feminisation surgery , which is a bespoke approach to softening the more traditional mascluine appearance of the facial bone structure and soft tissues. Gender affirmation surgery allows the patient to express themselves confidently, including being able to dress in the way that feels most comfortable such as being able to wear swimwear or sportswear that reflects their gender.

View All Gender Surgery Treatments (4)

Gender dysphoria can be a very uncomfortable feeling for a lot of people. Sometimes these feelings can cause a great deal of mental distress, anxiety and depression. This can have an overwhelmingly negative impact on a person’s day-to-day life.

Gender reassignment surgery is used to help the person concerned to resolve this disconnect by permanently altering the body parts associated with their biological sex. 

There are a number of different surgeries that fall under the category of gender reassignment. Top surgery encompasses surgery that is carried on the upper half of the body. This includes mastectomy (breast removal) and nipple repositioning in transmen and breast augmentation in transwomen. 

We offer gender reassignment surgery UK here at the Cadogan Clinic in Chelsea, London, and encourage any trans or non-binary patients seeking a safe top surgery procedure to contact us to arrange an initial consultation. Our team of experts will ensure that you will be treated with respect and dignity at all times during your treatment with us, as we acknowledge that these affirming surgeries are not strictly cosmetic surgery , but a new source of freedom.

Treatment - Gender dysphoria

Treatment for gender dysphoria aims to help people live the way they want to, in their preferred gender identity or as non-binary.

What this means will vary from person to person, and is different for children, young people and adults. Waiting times for referral and treatment are currently long.

Treatment for children and young people

If your child may have gender dysphoria, they'll usually be referred to one of the NHS Children and Young People's Gender Services .

Your child or teenager will be seen by a multidisciplinary team including a:

  • clinical psychologist
  • child psychotherapist
  • child and adolescent psychiatrist
  • family therapist
  • social worker

The team will carry out a detailed assessment, usually over 3 to 6 appointments over a period of several months.

Depending on the results of the assessment, options for children and teenagers include:

  • family therapy
  • individual child psychotherapy
  • parental support or counselling
  • group work for young people and their parents
  • regular reviews to monitor gender identity development
  • referral to a local Children and Young People's Mental Health Service (CYPMHS) for more serious emotional issues

Most treatments offered at this stage are psychological rather than medical. This is because in many cases gender variant behaviour or feelings disappear as children reach puberty.

Hormone therapy in children and young people

Some young people with lasting signs of gender dysphoria who meet strict criteria may be referred to a hormone specialist (consultant endocrinologist). This is in addition to psychological support.

Puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones

Puberty blockers (gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogues) are not available to children and young people for gender incongruence or gender dysphoria because there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness.

From around the age of 16, young people with a diagnosis of gender incongruence or gender dysphoria who meet various clinical criteria may be given gender-affirming hormones alongside psychosocial and psychological support.

These hormones cause some irreversible changes, such as:

  • breast development (caused by taking oestrogen)
  • breaking or deepening of the voice (caused by taking testosterone)

Long-term gender-affirming hormone treatment may cause temporary or even permanent infertility.

However, as gender-affirming hormones affect people differently, they should not be considered a reliable form of contraception.

There is some uncertainty about the risks of long-term gender-affirming hormone treatment.

Children, young people and their families are strongly discouraged from getting puberty blockers or gender-affirming hormones from unregulated sources or online providers that are not regulated by UK regulatory bodies.

Transition to adult gender identity services

Young people aged 17 or older may be seen in an adult gender identity clinic or be referred to one from a children and young people's gender service.

By this age, a teenager and the clinic team may be more confident about confirming a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. If desired, steps can be taken to more permanent treatments that fit with the chosen gender identity or as non-binary.

Treatment for adults

Adults who think they may have gender dysphoria should be referred to a gender dysphoria clinic (GDC).

Find an NHS gender dysphoria clinic in England .

GDCs have a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, who offer ongoing assessments, treatments, support and advice, including:

  • psychological support, such as counselling
  • cross-sex hormone therapy
  • speech and language therapy (voice therapy) to help you sound more typical of your gender identity

For some people, support and advice from the clinic are all they need to feel comfortable with their gender identity. Others will need more extensive treatment.

Hormone therapy for adults

The aim of hormone therapy is to make you more comfortable with yourself, both in terms of physical appearance and how you feel. The hormones usually need to be taken for the rest of your life, even if you have gender surgery.

It's important to remember that hormone therapy is only one of the treatments for gender dysphoria. Others include voice therapy and psychological support. The decision to have hormone therapy will be taken after a discussion between you and your clinic team.

In general, people wanting masculinisation usually take testosterone and people after feminisation usually take oestrogen.

Both usually have the additional effect of suppressing the release of "unwanted" hormones from the testes or ovaries.

Whatever hormone therapy is used, it can take several months for hormone therapy to be effective, which can be frustrating.

It's also important to remember what it cannot change, such as your height or how wide or narrow your shoulders are.

The effectiveness of hormone therapy is also limited by factors unique to the individual (such as genetic factors) that cannot be overcome simply by adjusting the dose.

Find out how to save money on prescriptions for hormone therapy medicines with a prescription prepayment certificate .

Risks of hormone therapy

There is some uncertainty about the risks of long-term cross-sex hormone treatment. The clinic will discuss these with you and the importance of regular monitoring blood tests with your GP.

The most common risks or side effects include:

  • blood clots
  • weight gain
  • dyslipidaemia (abnormal levels of fat in the blood)
  • elevated liver enzymes
  • polycythaemia (high concentration of red blood cells)
  • hair loss or balding (androgenic alopecia)

There are other risks if you're taking hormones bought over the internet or from unregulated sources. It's strongly recommended you avoid these.

Long-term cross-sex hormone treatment may also lead, eventually, to infertility, even if treatment is stopped.

The GP can help you with advice about gamete storage. This is the harvesting and storing of eggs or sperm for your future use.

Gamete storage is sometimes available on the NHS. It cannot be provided by the gender dysphoria clinic.

Read more about fertility preservation on the HFEA website.

Surgery for adults

Some people may decide to have surgery to permanently alter body parts associated with their biological sex.

Based on the recommendations of doctors at the gender dysphoria clinic, you will be referred to a surgeon outside the clinic who is an expert in this type of surgery.

In addition to you having socially transitioned to your preferred gender identity for at least a year before a referral is made for gender surgery, it is also advisable to:

  • lose weight if you are overweight (BMI of 25 or over)
  • have taken cross-sex hormones for some surgical procedures

It's also important that any long-term conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, are well controlled.

Surgery for trans men

Common chest procedures for trans men (trans-masculine people) include:

  • removal of both breasts (bilateral mastectomy) and associated chest reconstruction
  • nipple repositioning
  • dermal implant and tattoo

Gender surgery for trans men includes:

  • construction of a penis (phalloplasty or metoidioplasty)
  • construction of a scrotum (scrotoplasty) and testicular implants
  • a penile implant

Removal of the womb (hysterectomy) and the ovaries and fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy) may also be considered.

Surgery for trans women

Gender surgery for trans women includes:

  • removal of the testes (orchidectomy)
  • removal of the penis (penectomy)
  • construction of a vagina (vaginoplasty)
  • construction of a vulva (vulvoplasty)
  • construction of a clitoris (clitoroplasty)

Breast implants for trans women (trans-feminine people) are not routinely available on the NHS.

Facial feminisation surgery and hair transplants are not routinely available on the NHS.

As with all surgical procedures there can be complications. Your surgeon should discuss the risks and limitations of surgery with you before you consent to the procedure.

Life after transition

Whether you've had hormone therapy alone or combined with surgery, the aim is that you no longer have gender dysphoria and feel at ease with your identity.

Your health needs are the same as anyone else's with a few exceptions:

  • you'll need lifelong monitoring of your hormone levels by your GP
  • you'll still need contraception if you are sexually active and have not yet had any gender surgery
  • you'll need to let your optician and dentist know if you're on hormone therapy as this may affect your treatment
  • you may not be called for screening tests as you've changed your name on medical records – ask your GP to notify you for cervical and breast screening if you're a trans man with a cervix or breast tissue
  • trans-feminine people with breast tissue (and registered with a GP as female) are routinely invited for breast screening from the ages of 50 up to 71

Find out more about screening for trans and non-binary people on GOV.UK.

NHS guidelines for gender dysphoria

NHS England has published what are known as service specifications that describe how clinical and medical care is offered to people with gender dysphoria:

  • Non-surgical interventions for adults
  • Surgical interventions for adults
  • Interim service specification for specialist gender incongruence services for children and young people

Review of gender identity services

NHS England has commissioned an independent review of gender identity services for children and young people. The review will advise on any changes needed to the service specifications for children and young people.

Gender Clinics

What are gender clinics.

In the UK, people who are changing things linked to gender are supported by a set of specialist centres, often known as ‘gender identity clinics’ (GICs) or ”gender dysphoria clinics’ (GDCs), which offer formal diagnosis, psychological support, speech therapy, and access to other services like hormone medications and surgeries.

What do NHS Gender Clinics offer?

The services offered vary from clinic to clinic, but generally they offer assessment for hormone treatment and referral for gender confirming surgeries and hair removal, as well as initially monitoring hormone treatment and well-being in relation to gender dysphoria. Many GDCs offer counselling, peer support and speech therapy.

How can I access an NHS gender clinic?

NHS care for under 18s

A different waiting list and referral system operates for under 18s wishing to access NHS gender services in England and Wales. There is a national waiting list for NHS Gender Services for Children and Young People – currently there are more than 5,600 people on the list. Some people have been on the waiting list since August 2018. You can find the most up to date information about the referral process on the National Referral Support Service website.

About our waiting time data

Waiting time information shown on this page is taken from information given directly to genderkit.org.uk by the services or from information published on their website. The waiting time information was last updated in April 2024. Waiting times indicate how long patients who have just been invited for an appointment have waited for. As demand is currently increasing over time, this means it is likely you will wait longer than the time shown on this page.

Transferring to a different waiting list

The following clinics will honour your original referral date if you transfer onto their waiting list. Please note, there are different arrangements for young people transferring to adult waiting lists.

  • Cardiff – Welsh Gender Service
  • Edinburgh – Chalmers Gender Identity Clinic
  • Glasgow – Sandyford Gender Identity Clinic
  • London -The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: Gender Identity Clinic for Adults

This information was based on information on the websites of the services when it was last checked, but you may wish to confirm what rules would apply to you by contacting the gender service yourself before arranging a transfer to them.

What is a pilot or new style clinic?

There were a number of pilot clinics in England, some of these are now out of their pilot phase. The purpose of these clinics is to explore a more holistic and comprehensive model of how gender clinics can function, with patient agency centred more in the process.

These clinics generally have a much shorter wait, but are only open to people who’ve already been referred to another clinic, and who meet particular requirements. Waits vary, usually depending on how long you’ve been on the waiting list for the other clinic.

How much will it cost?

British citizens are able to access the NHS and HSC gender services for free. If you are not a British citizen, you may still be able to access these services for free, and more details can be found on genderkit.org.uk ‘s Immigration page .

Patients in Wales being referred to gender services for children and young people will need to ask their GP to apply for funding from their local Health Board.

You may be able to get help with the cost of travelling to attending appointments at NHS or HSC gender services. Further information about travel costs can be found:

  • on the NHS website (valid across the whole of the UK)
  • on the Welsh Government website
  • on the NGICNS website (Scotland only)
  • on the HSC Northern Ireland website

More information about travel funding is also available on the London GIC website .

Gender Dysphoria Gender dysphoria is a term describing the distress and discontent experienced by people whose psychological gender is at odds with aspects of their outward physical sex. Such people might identify as gender variant, transgender, transsexual, transvestite, genderqueer, androgyne, neutrois or other. Sometimes, the distress is so strong that they undergo transition from one point on the gender continuum to another. This typically involves changes to social role and presentation, and may necessitate taking sex hormones or having gender related surgery.

Gender Incongruence Gender incongruence is a newer term, gradually replacing gender dysphoria.

Assessment, monitoring and treatment of gender dysphoria.
Advice on the physical, psychological and social elements of gender transition.
Supportive counselling.
