dc.description.abstract | Transgender people face barriers to healthcare. There is a paucity of resources and transgender people often face delays in treatment. Services need to be sensitive to the needs of transgender patients, and primary care and specialist transgender healthcare services need to work together to provide holistic care. Primary care has a particular role in considering the fertility needs of transgender people having physical treatments, such as hormones and surgery, as well as looking after the long-term physical, mental and sexual health of patients who have had such treatments. | |
