Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service Specialist Service Walkergate Park

What we do

The Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service is a service for people who experience persistent confusion and/or discomfort as a result of a discrepancy between their assigned sex and their gender identity. This includes people who want to change physical aspects of their gender as well as those who do not.

Some people who are distressed about their assigned sex have other health problems such as physical disabilities or mental health difficulties. The service is open to all but people with more complex needs may require additional support from other services.

The Northern Region Gender Dysphoria Service offers a treatment pathway focused on improving the physical and mental wellbeing of the people that we serve. We offer:

• Comprehensive assessment
• Medical interventions
• Referrals for surgery and other treatments
• Voice and communication therapy
• Specialist psychological therapy.
• Advice and training to other professionals, including advice on medical treatments.
