Who will sign my surgery referral letter?
The professional you meet with will be fully responsible for signing your referral letter. This person has been selected according to the high standards of GenderGP and is listed in the Directory. The professional will be properly registered with their local professional body, such as a psychology or medical association, and will be a member of WPATH, which is considered the gold standard in this field.
Both you and the surgeon will be able to contact the professional directly in case you need any assistance or clarification.
