Aim
Trans healthcare in the UK is broken. Please help us provide life-saving, gender-affirming care to those who need it.
Across the UK, thousands of trans+ people are facing extraordinary barriers preventing them from being able to access the vital healthcare they need to live authentically and feel comfortable within themselves.
Some of these barriers include:
- Years-long NHS waitlists.
- Some trans+ people in Scotland could wait up to 224 years for their first NHS gender clinic appointment.
- As of 2025, an estimated 48,000 people are waiting for a first appointment at one of the 15 UK gender identity clinics.
- GPs are reluctant to support shared care with NHS or private providers.
- GPs withdrawing care after, in some cases, years of HRT prescribing.
- Paid for private care, which is out of reach for many.
- Over 86% of trans people have said that NHS waiting times have negatively impacted their mental health.
- People are forced into self-medicating without proper oversight.
This year, it was reported that the estimated average wait time for a first appointment at a UK gender identity clinic is currently 25 years.
Trans+ people are being failed by an outdated healthcare system that is oversubscribed, underfunded and under-resourced.
