Join the Lived Experience Coordinator to talk about what has happened over the past couple of years in trans healthcare and, more importantly, what still needs to be done. As we move towards the end of the Scottish Government's 'NHS gender identity services: strategic action framework 2022-2024', this workshop is an opportunity to hear more about the work that has been done and to come together to talk about what should happen next.

The first part of the workshop will focus on what has come out of the framework including the new service standards, gender identity protocol and transgender knowledge and skills framework. The second part will be a discussion on what still needs to happen, and how we might make that change happen.

Participants of this workshop will be paid 50 to attend. This can be paid via bank transfer after the event, or by voucher if your concerned it may impact your benefits..

Who is this workshop for?

Its for anyone over the age of 18 who has used, is using or is waiting to use NHS gender identity services in Scotland

When and where?

The focus group will run on Tuesday 4th February at 6-8.30pm. The focus group will last for 2 and a half hours and take place online via Microsoft Teams. If you have accessibility requirements please get in touch with Ryan ([email protected]).

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
