We recognise there is guidance from the Royal College of Psychiatrists and other organisations that GPs “may prescribe ‘bridging’ endocrine treatments as part of a holding and harm reduction strategy while the patient awaits specialised endocrinology or other gender identity treatment” particularly if patients are already taking hormones from illicit sources. However, we are not experienced in initiating hormonal treatments for gender dysphoria and do not feel able to provide “bridging hormones” safely in any circumstance.

Unfortunately, the appropriate support is just not currently available for us to do this. It should be recognised that all the NHS gender identity clinics only initiate hormonal treatment after a number of investigations and input from a specialist team of psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and psychologists. This includes counselling on the side effects and potential long term risks of hormonal treatment. It is not realistic that the same level of support could safely be provided within our practice.
