Health Service

We offer our patients a service that invites individuals who identify as trans, non-binary, or intersex (TNBI) for an annual holistic review. This review encompasses physical, mental, and sexual health. Additionally, we will discuss cancer, fertility and other screenings.

This initiative aims to address health inequalities in the TNBI community and to remove barriers on accessing healthcare. While some may feel that this review is unnecessary for them, others may find it beneficial.

We understand that the term TNBI may not align with your identity, and we apologise if this is the case. If you would like to discuss this or inquire about the letter you received, please call our reception, and they will direct you to the appropriate person.

Appointments can be conducted face-to-face, by phone, or via video call. A face-to-face appointment is ideal for checking your height, weight, blood pressure, and pulse. However, if you prefer, you can complete these checks at reception beforehand and then have a phone or video consultation. Each appointment lasts 28 minutes.

To schedule your annual health review appointment, please reply “yes” to the initial text message if you have received one, or call our Reception Team and mention that you received a letter for a TNBI annual review.

If you do not feel comfortable talking to reception or replying to a text, you can use the Contact Form.
