I am a transgender GP and I would like to share my experience as a transgender GP and a patient to highlight the difficulties that a trans person negotiating their health care through the NHS. My journey has not been straight forward but eventually it was fulfilling and I hope my story will raise trans awareness about gender identity, improving care for trans people and inclusivity. As a trans GP, transgender issues have been close to my heart, but it seems that they have only recently risen to prominence across the society - as well as in the press, sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse I will present two articles which was published to highlight trans health.

I am grateful to this country and the NHS for giving me the opportunity and protection to be what I am. I am from a vulnerable group ; a trans person, an immigrant and people of colour and I am very lucky to work in an institution like the NHS, who welcomes everyone who is willing to work hard irrespective of their gender, race and sexual orientation.
