This page includes information on NHS clinics, private clinics and DIY HRT.
Gender Identity Clinics
Gender Identity Clinics (GICs) in the UK are specialist heathcare services that provide support, assessment, and treatment for individuals experiencing gender dysphoria or are seeking to transition. These clinics offer various services, including psychological support, hormone therapy, voice therapy, and referrals for gender-affirming surgeries. They are usually a large part of support that trans people need to get through their transition safely.
NHS
When it comes to getting care for transgender patients on the NHS, there are very few that are able to gain access to a GIC with the long waiting lists at each of them – With the average being over 6 years nationally. This waiting time can be painful for a lot of trans individuals which is why a lot of them choose to either go private or to DIY hormones.
There are some GPs that are able to put trans people on a bridging prescription in the interest of harm prevention, however this is more of an exception than a rule and a lot refuse to help transgender patients with their transition outright.
Private GICs
There are a lot of private GICs available to trans people, these can be fairly costly however and is not always viable for some people to afford. They do however enable easy and quick access to healthcare for trans people when they need it.

DIY HRT
DIY HRT is a common way for a lot of trans people to have access to hormones and other medication. This is the process of acquiring or making your own medication by yourself, without help from a gender identity clinic.
DIY is done for a number of reasons; not having access to NHS clinics, not being able to afford private or just in the case that someone wants more control over the dosages or medication they take. Taking control over this part of your transition may feel a bit scary but unfortunately it’s by far the most accessible way of having access to transgender healthcare.
When doing DIY hormones, it’s much safer to do regular blood tests
