ASHM and Brisbane South PHN are proud to collaborate on the launch of the following Health Pathways:
- Gender-affirming hormones
- Transgender Health and Gender Diversity in Adults
The Pathways are designed to support General Practitioners (GPs) in providing inclusive, evidence-based care for trans and gender diverse patients aged 18 and over.
This GP-focused session will cover both the initiation and ongoing management of GAHT, equipping clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to support their patients effectively. The session will include case-based discussions to explore real-world scenarios, clinical considerations, and best practices in gender affirming care.
Key Topics:
- Initiating GAHT: assessment, prescribing, and patient-centred care
- Ongoing monitoring and long-term management of patients on GAHT
- Case-based discussions to enhance clinical decision-making
- Best practice guidelines and resources for GPs
This interactive session will provide GPs with the opportunity to engage with experienced clinicians and community experts, ask questions, and build their knowledge in gender affirming healthcare.
Join us in fostering a more inclusive and supportive healthcare environment!
