At GenderGP, we recognise that every person’s transition journey is unique. Our Transition Packs replace shared care, empowering you to be in control of your own healthcare. They provide your GP with all of the information they need to prescribe to you and monitor your treatment.
What is a Transition Pack?
A Transition Pack is a personalised, comprehensive care document created for you once you complete our assessment and informed-consent process. It is designed to give GPs clear guidance on how to safely support your gender-affirming treatment. Each Pack includes:
Your personal details, medical history, and background
A clear summary of your evaluation and the clinical rationale for gender-affirming care
Treatment and medication recommendations based on recognised international guidelines
Monitoring schedules, including blood tests and ongoing care requirements
Detailed explanations of gender-affirming therapy and best-practice management
A Transition Pack gives your healthcare provider everything they need to guide your care confidently and safely.
Why GenderGP no longer provides traditional Shared Care agreements
Shared care historically involved formal agreements between private providers, GPs, and patients. In practice, these arrangements often created delays, uncertainty, or reluctance from providers who were unfamiliar with gender-affirming treatment.
Transition Packs eliminate these obstacles by offering a straightforward, well-defined method for communicating all necessary information. This approach is more reliable, more efficient, and better aligned with high-quality, patient-centred care.
How Transition Packs solve this
Personalised, patient-centred care
Each Transition Pack is tailored specifically to you. It reflects your unique history, identity, needs, and goals. This ensures that your treatment plan is not generic but genuinely aligned with your personal journey.
Greater clarity and confidence for GPs
Transition Packs provide a structured, evidence-based roadmap. This reduces uncertainty around prescribing and monitoring, making it easier for GPs to support gender-affirming care without needing to navigate a formal shared-care agreement.
Fewer administrative barriers
Shared care can require complex agreements, extended communication between providers, and additional administrative processes, which often result in delays. Transition Packs simplify this by consolidating all necessary information in one document, helping to streamline treatment access.
Flexible and adaptable
A Transition Pack can be updated as your goals or medical needs evolve. Whether you require hormone adjustments or new monitoring schedules, the Pack can be revised to ensure your care always aligns with your current needs.
Empowerment through informed consent
Transition Packs support shared decision-making between you and your clinician. By offering clear information and recommendations, they encourage active participation in your care and reinforce your agency throughout the process.
What this means for you
For patients
You receive a personalised, clearly structured care plan.
You can present the Transition Pack to your GP or any willing prescriber without the need for a formal shared-care agreement.
Treatment and monitoring can progress more efficiently, with fewer administrative delays.
You remain at the centre of your care, supported by clear information and informed-consent processes.
For GPs
You receive a comprehensive, professional, evidence-based document to guide prescribing and monitoring.
Administrative burdens associated with shared-care agreements are reduced or eliminated.
You can make informed decisions about care without the need for additional contractual obligations.
The approach supports collaborative, flexible care that adapts to the patient’s evolving needs.
Transition Packs represent a meaningful improvement over traditional shared-care agreements. They offer clarity, personalisation, efficiency, and flexibility for patients, while providing GPs with the structure and evidence-based guidance they need to deliver safe and supportive gender-affirming care.
This model respects each patient’s individuality, reduces unnecessary barriers, and helps ensure that care is affirming, effective, and aligned with best practice.
