Transgender Care in General Practice: Gender Affirming Care

Tuesday 2 November 2021

This webinar is aimed at improving care of transgender patients.

It is estimated that between 0.5% and 1% of the population is transgender or gender diverse. Studies suggest that transgender /gender diverse people have higher rates of mental health and drug and alcohol issues. It is known that gender affirming care improves mental health.

There are many barriers to accessing primary health care for transgender/ gender diverse people including limited GP experience and access to GP services, particularly around gender affirming therapy. Further, GPs themselves report lack of skills and knowledge in transgender/gender diverse care.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the health needs of transgender and gender diverse patients and the elements of gender identity
  • Utilise improved confidence and knowledge in caring for transgender and gender diverse patients, including management of gender affirming therapy
  • Identify and discuss referral options and resources providing further support for transgender patients

  • Teddy Cook
    Acting Director, Community Health – ACON
    Adjunct Lecturer – Kirby Institute, UNSW Sydney
