Gender-Affirming Medication and Private Shared Care
Richmond Road Medical Centre does not enter into shared care arrangements with private providers for the prescribing or monitoring of gender-affirming medications.
Where gender-affirming treatment has been initiated by a private provider, responsibility for prescribing the medication and any associated monitoring will need to remain with the private specialist/provider.
This does not affect patients’ access to their usual NHS general practice care or other services provided by Richmond Road Medical Centre.
