Transgender Prescribing

Avon LMC is committed to supporting GPs and practices in delivering safe, ethical, and evidence-informed care to transgender and non-binary patients.

This page provides access to our current position statement on shared care and private prescribing to assist GPs in navigating the complexities of transgender prescribing, particularly in the context of shared care arrangements, specialist input, and national policy.

We recognise the increasing demand for gender-affirming healthcare and the vital role that general practice plays in supporting trans and non-binary patients. However, prescribing in this area often raises questions around clinical responsibility, prescribing competence, medico-legal risk, and service capacity.
