Trans and non-binary people's general health needs are the same as anyone else's. But trans people may have specific health needs in relation to gender dysphoria.

Your particular needs may be best addressed by transgender health services offered by NHS gender dysphoria clinics (GDCs).

All NHS GDCs are commissioned by NHS England, who set the service specifications for how they work.

A GP or another health professional can refer you directly to one of the 8 GDCs. You do not need an assessment by a mental health service first. Neither does the GP need prior approval from their Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

The websites of the clinics listed on this page also have useful information for you to think about before you see a GP.
