My GP is refusing to prescribe my HRT: What can I do? β TransActual
TransActual regularly hear reports of trans people whose GP has refused to prescribe their hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
We know that a lot of trans people's are having the experience of their GP refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.
Take a look at our 'My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT' resource: transactual.org.uk/medical-tran...

It's worth noting that many of the surrounding gp surgeries, when patients from here reached out for help yesterday, told them they will not take on new trans patients, even if they are still providing hrt to existing trans patients.

βUnfortunately, the practice has had to take the decision to cease our prescribing and monitoring of hormonal medication in adult transgender patients. This is not a decision we have taken lightly but due to the closure of NHS centres including the Tavistock, we feel we are not in a position to provide this additional service. This is because of a lack of support and the work being outside of our expertise. The changes will occur from 1st April 2025. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this will cause patients and advise that you contact your specialist care provider to seek alternative arrangements.β
Yesterday a Sheffield gp surgery notified itβs trans patients that they would no longer provide them with hrt, regardless of their transition status. I have many friends whoβve been affected by this, including several post-op, putting their physical health at serious risk.

Oh yeah, looks like it was this one. Any chance of getting it back or is it gone? www.dis-sos.com/ifs-for-did/

@dis-sos.bsky.social Hey Theresa, long time no speak. I was just wondering if you ever wrote a blog post about the difference between IFS parts and DID parts? I feel like I read that but I can't find it now.
I have a therapist w/ some IFS experience and it would just be useful to have to hand.
