Self-referrals

Should you wish to be self-referred to the Gender Identity Clinic you are required to be registered with an NHS GP/healthcare professional.

If you are submitting the referral as a self-referral, please note that you would still require your GPs involvement in providing us with your medical assessment.

The GP’s involvement is required throughout the whole treatment so it is advisable that you have a GP who will support you through this pathway.

The number of referrals that we get to the service is extremely high and to ensure that your referral is processed in a timely manner please ensure that all of the information that you send to us is accurate as we are processing over 300 referrals per month with a waiting list of 10,142

Any referrals received without the correct Name, Surname, Date of Birth, NHS number, home address of the patient, patient email address , GP address, GP email address that does not match the NHS portal will not be accepted and will have to be resubmitted with the correct details.
