Greater Manchester Trans Health Services — Gender Dysphoria Services for Adults (Non-Surgical)

Descriptions

NHS England (NHSE) is seeking bids from providers to develop and run a pilot service within Greater Manchester for adults with gender dysphoria.NHSE is the direct commissioner of specialised health interventions for the alleviation of gender dysphoria, which is characterised by a strong and persistent cross-gender identification (such as stating a desire to be the other sex or frequently passing as the other sex) coupled with persistent discomfort with his or her sex.NHSE will commission and directly contract an early adopter pilot (Trans Health Service) that will evaluate how the treatment interventions delivered by a specialist Gender Dysphoria Clinic can be delivered by a primary care team in a local setting, adapted to meet the specific needs of the population of Greater Manchester. NHSE invites proposals for the provision of the early adopter pilot over 2 years, from 2020 with an option to extend for a further year at the commissioners sole discretion.
