Show Notes
Trans people experience disproportionately poor health outcomes, with a recent study funded from the NIHR finding that trans and non binary patients are more likely to experience long term health conditions, including dementia, learning disabilities, and mental health problems. In this episode, we talk about how current and future doctors can be equipped with some of the tools we need to support the delivery of healthcare to trans patients.
Whilst this is a super broad and complex topic, this episode focuses on some common misconceptions and challenge ideas in regards to gender and transness, and helps us to learn a little more about how we can best support these patients.
We are joined by Duncan Shrewsbury, a queer academic GP based in Brighton. Duncan is a Reader in Clinical Education & Primary Care at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, they are the Deputy Lead for Curriculum Development, the research lead for the Department of Medical Education, and the lead the Academic GP training. They also work clinically, delivering both primary and gender affirming healthcare.
