GenderGP extends its gratitude to The Cass Review for their valuable insights regarding NHS interim service specifications. We highly appreciate the input and would like to address some key points in their response.

We wholeheartedly endorse The Cass Review’s recommendation against the initiation of local safeguarding protocols by GPs when individuals seek care from private providers like GenderGP, which operate outside the UK’s regulatory framework.

GenderGP is dedicated to providing comprehensive health and wellbeing services to people of all ages, supporting them through various aspects of their transition journeys. Our track record includes assisting numerous individuals, both young and old, in social, medical, and surgical transitions. We take immense pride in our work and are committed to collaborating with other providers who may not possess the same depth of experience and understanding.

We extend an open invitation to any public or independent providers who have questions or require guidance on medical interventions or monitoring that would benefit the person they're treating. Our team is always ready to offer support, advice, and education. Feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

We acknowledge the challenges that many transgender individuals encounter when seeking healthcare services, often experiencing discrimination and adversity. Our mission at GenderGP is to facilitate safe and accessible health and wellbeing for all, prioritising the health and safety of all trans people above all else.

Addressing concerns about the regulation of care provided by GenderGP, we wish to clarify that we operate fully within the bounds of regulation and compliance:

• All doctors and nurses are regulated to provide medical care and advice.
• All counsellors and psychotherapists are regulated to offer advice, support, and therapy.
• All partner chemists adhere to regulatory standards for prescription medication dispensation.

We invite those seeking further information on our regulation and licensing to refer to the details provided on our website.

GenderGP remains committed to recommending and upholding the highest standards of care, member safety, and accessibility. We thank The Cass Review for their engagement and look forward to ongoing collaboration to ensure the best possible healthcare outcomes for all individuals.
