I have found a surgeon but they have asked me to check that the doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist that makes the referral is on their list of BAGIS members, what should I do?

BAGIS is currently an association exclusive to professionals residing in the UK.

At GenderGP, we believe that transgender healthcare is a global matter and should be supported as such. WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, is the leading authority in the field and is responsible for the internationally recognised Standards of Care (now in its 8th version), used by gender clinics worldwide.

GenderGP selects our professionals for providing Surgery Referrals and Formal Diagnoses based on the following criteria:

• They must be registered with their local professional body, with verifiable credentials and proven experience in transgender healthcare.
• They must also be WPATH members, ensuring they stay current with the best practices in the field. This membership is verifiable by anyone.

By providing their services through GenderGP, our professionals continuously learn and deliver care to hundreds of gender-diverse clients daily.

Clinics in the UK and internationally can easily verify the credentials of our professionals. We encourage you to discuss any concerns directly with our team, who are ready to assist. If necessary, they can engage with your chosen clinic or surgeon to ensure you receive the best care.

If a clinic is unwilling to collaborate with a highly qualified international professional, our providers are ready to offer further support and connect you with other reputable clinics and surgeons who come highly recommended.
