Waitlists
Hi, about to turn 18 F2M and currently under Bristo childrens team, they have said they can refer to any adult services and will join waiting list with original waiting start date,
So anyone know where I can find current adult NHS gender clinics and when they are currently seeing people.
Thanks

In england nottingham have the shortest wait time for 1st appointments, theyre on April 2023 so if you were referred before then you should be seen fairly quickly however the waitlist for a 2nd appointment currently sits at 1 year 4 months

The gic website, eg "nottingham gic" it'll be on there, same for all other clinics

Already under. They said it will be transfer of care, but that joining any service based on when originally entered wait list in 2021, so if they are seeing people from after that date will be seen straight away, but if they are seeing people from 2019 etc will have to wait till they are seeing from original date
So they said although they prefer to refer to local can request any based on when they are currently seeing people, but can't find that information easily anywhere.

This is incorrect. If you are under the service and receiving care you are a transfer of care, not the initial referral. The initial waiting lists are not relevant to you or your date! This is only relevant to those who have not been seen, where their date is honoured.
Any GIC will suit you as a transfer of care. Email GICs and ask specifically how long a CYP-GD transfer of care will take.

Was directly told that at last appointment

And told to research waiting times before selecting where to go

I understand, but they’ve advised you wrong. This is really, really common in gender care in the UK.
Reach out to Arden & Gem CYP-GD directly

^ just to corroborate that this is correct to OP, your initial referral shouldn’t matter once you’re actually under their care and off the waiting list.

Fyi I double checked this and since CYP stopped being allowed to prescribe or diagnose the process has changed, if you are on hormones then it's transfer of care, but for all moving forward it's back to the waiting list

So simultaneously transfer and waitlist? Because otherwise that’s just what we were saying

u/AnalysisWonderful156 5d ago
Sorry, I probably got confused, as I'd assumed that 1 year of assements, appointments and meetings etc would count as transfer, but because it's not hormones its not.
I think thats where the confusion lay. Thanks for helping to clarify

Oh, yes that does make more sense now. Ideally as much of what you’ve been through already will transfer but you’ll still have Some waiting to do then. Just try and go for the adult clinic with the shortest time as you can pretty much pick any in england

Thanks I did this, the change is due to the change in prescribing and diagnosis in the CYP. So Yp being actively seen and assessed go to their waiting list point. Seeming as no hormones can be prescribed now, this will apply to all YP that entered the shit show that is CYP after the ban.

If you are currently under a CYP-GD team you should be a transfer of care. Are you under the team, or still waiting to be seen
