Thanks for the info. I'm on the waiting list for Charring Cross at the moment. My GP has said no to blood tests and prescriptions though she didn't give any real reasons so I'm considering speaking to the practice manager and seeing if I can work anything out. To confirm, if I can pay for appointments with Dr Curtis, private blood tests, a private prescription and the first few follow ups then I'll be able to switch to NHS care after being seen for a couple of appointments at Charring Cross?

Yes, speaking to your practice manager is definitely a sensible step. You could then take the opportunity to clarify whether they would agree to a shared care protocol with an NHS specialist, too (usually GPs are ok with this, but some aren’t: usually due to not feeling confident in their responsibilities, or issues with the CCG that are outside of their control). If it seems as though your practice is going to be a pain regardless, you would then probably need to talk to practice managers for other local GP practices to see if you can get better treatment by registering at a new one.

Yes, in the vast majority of cases (I only say ‘the vast majority’ because I know of two people whose GPs have stubbornly refused to prescribe even when the NHS GIC said it was ok, but this is a vanishingly small number compared to the number of people who have been prescribed with no issues!), if you can pay for everything you’ve mentioned until CHX agree to take over your care, you should be fine then switching to the NHS.

I'm looking into going to the Transhealth clinic but my GP refused me shared care. How is it going to change the process if I can't find another GP in my area to agree to it- with regards to getting blood tests and then getting a private prescription? I haven't found anyone that's gone privately without shared care to ask directly, thanks in advance.

If you can’t get a GP to agree, the short answer is, unfortunately, that you will have to pay for everything yourself. This can be manageable, depending on how obstructive your GP is - some GPs will order blood tests for you but refuse to take responsibility for prescribing, in which case you only need to pay for the prescriptions (though this can be £40+ per month for gels or nebido; much less for sustanon). Even if your GP won’t order your blood tests on the NHS, you may be able to get them done privately through them (or Transhealth might have recommendations for where you can get bloods done).

If your GP is uncomfortable taking responsibility for your treatment, you might also be able to convince them to refer you to a local endocrinologist for ongoing monitoring: the endo could then take responsibility for prescribing and blood tests.

I notice, too, that you’re seventeen: at your age you can be referred to an adult GIC. NHS gender clinics are far more used to settling GP disputes, and your GP may also be more comfortable with a shared care protocol that comes from an NHS specialist than one that comes from the private sector. I’m not sure if you have already been referred to a clinic, but they should be able to transfer your care onto the NHS pathway after a few appointments, so if you haven’t already, it would probably be worth your while getting referred to one.
