Leaked NHS guidelines indicate that GPs should not engage in shared care agreements with private clinics for trans youth healthcare, specifically stating to refuse support for gender-affirming medication prescriptions. This applies particularly to adolescents under 18, including puberty blockers, which face bans in England. The guidance highlights potential risks linked to unregulated healthcare services. While it does not extend to adults, the guidance underscores a forthcoming policy aimed at addressing the management of adults sourcing medications outside NHS services.
Shared care agreements between GPs and private clinics for trans youth should be avoided, emphasizing the necessity for NHS oversight in gender-affirming treatments.
The leaked NHS guidelines clearly state GPs must refuse shared care agreements for providing gender-affirming medication for trans under-18s, ensuring stricter control.
