Recent research published in the Lancet Public Health Journal, led by the University of Manchester, showcases the health inequalities that transgender and non-binary patients face. Long waiting lists and discrimination from staff are two key problems that lead to transgender patients suffering disproportionally from mental health struggles. Amid a growing public debate around transgender rights and healthcare, it is vital that practitioners provide humane and effective healthcare to those with gender dysphoria. Through collaboration with staff networks, measuring feedback, and implementing inclusive language, healthcare providers will be better equipped to provide suitable care for transgender patients.
- According to the London Assembly 2022 report, 70% of transgender people have experienced transphobia from their primary care provider
- NHS data showcases that the average waiting time at NHS gender identity clinics in England has at least doubled between 2018 and 2023
- 2% of non-binary and transgender people will report a mental health condition, according to the Lancet Public Health Journal’s 2024 report
Join us at The Transgender Healthcare Conference 2024: Tackling Inequalities and Providing Support to hear the latest updates from healthcare providers on adapting approaches to ensure transgender patients receive high standards of care. You will hear best practice case studies exploring how to adapt language used to be more inclusive, methods for collecting feedback from staff and patients, and providing wrap-around mental health support. There will also be an opportunity to network with senior colleagues from across the healthcare sector, discussing key challenges and innovative solutions from across the sector.
