Healthcare workers’ experiences, confidence and comfort supporting trans patients

When seeking health care (whether for general health care or transition-related care), evidence shows that most trans people in the UK don’t experience the high standards of care they ought to be able to expect from health care professionals. Research also shows that most health care professionals want to help their patients and to provide high quality, patient-centred care. But in too many cases, something is stopping them. TransActual commissioned a survey of health care professionals to find out more about their attitudes towards, confidence with, and competence in caring for trans people.
