Transgender & Queer/Gender Diverse Healthcare in Primary Care

I feel comfortable providing care to transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse (TGD) patients. *

I actively use inclusive language and pronouns when interacting with patients. *

I encourage colleagues to use inclusive language and respect pronouns. *

I would be comfortable being identified as a TGD-inclusive or TGD-friendly healthcare provider. *

Providing equitable and affirming care to TGD patients is part of my professional responsibility. *

I understand the difference between gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. *

I know what gender dysphoria is and how it may present in primary care. *

I am aware of referral pathways to gender identity or gender-affirming services within the NHS. *

I know reputable community or charity organisations that support TGD patients. *

I understand the increased risks of mental health concerns and social isolation among TGD people. *

I understand the sexual health needs and potential disparities affecting TGD patients. *

I feel confident in signposting patients to mental health or gender-affirming care resources. *

I understand that referral and signposting pathways for TGD adults differ from those for children and young people. *

My workload and time pressures make it difficult to address TGD-specific health needs. *

My practice has limited access to training or guidance on TGD healthcare. *

Organisational culture or colleagues’ attitudes can make it challenging to advocate for TGD-inclusive care. *

I do not feel confident discussing gender identity with patients. *

I believe social media both support and sometimes misinform the public about TGD healthcare. *

Cultural or religious values sometimes influence how I approach TGD-related discussions. *

I am aware of the NHS England 10-Point Plan and its implications for LGBTQ+/TGD health. *

I would like more training on allyship and inclusive practice for TGD patients. *

I recognise that neurodivergent and TGD identities can intersect and require tailored approaches in care. *

I would like the upcoming conference to include practical strategies for inclusive communication, advocacy, and systemic change. *
