Your assessment
This will now happen as part of a two-step process:
- You will be invited to meet with a Clinical Gender Specialist who will complete the first part of your assessment, gathering the necessary information and clarifying your treatment goals.
- Next, you will have the second part of your diagnostic gender assessment with one of our Lead Clinicians - either a Medical Gender Specialist or a Specialist Clinical Psychologist, depending on your specific needs. At this stage, a treatment plan will be created, which may include hormone therapy or surgery referrals, if appropriate.
You will be allocated a Named Professional who will be your continuing point of contact and support within The Laurels.
