Most healthcare professionals want to help their patients and to provide high quality, patient-centred care. But in too many cases something is stopping them.
Our Healthcare Professionals Report 2025 found that when it comes to training:
-Less than a third of respondents thought they'd received sufficient medical training or supervision to support their trans patients.
-Those who'd accessed training had often had to proactively seek it out, with some even paying for it out of their own pocket.
-Many professionals told us that they'd gained most or all of their knowledge and understanding on trans people's healthcare needs from their trans patients.
We recommend that all medical practitioners should be required to complete training in best practice in caring for trans people. We also think that healthcare professionals should not have to pay out of pocket for this training.
TransActual offers training for healthcare services and settings developed and delivered by our experienced trans led and run team, ensuring that trans people’s voices are central to the training you receive.
