Senior Clinical Fellow In Gender Dysphoria, Transplus

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has been commissioned to provide TransPlus at 56 Dean Street, the first integrated gender, HIV and Sexual Health service by NHS England. Our vision is for an innovative and patient-centred service, based on the principle that patients must have equal access to services whatever their gender identity with reasonable adjustments to the delivery of care to match the individual’s needs and circumstances.



This exciting opportunity is aimed at Specialist Registrars currently in a GUM, SRH, or other comparable training programme. It will allow the post holder to complete a 12-month OOPE and develop skills in gender medicine whilst also allowing them to maintain their Sexual Health / HIV / SRH competencies.



The senior clinical fellow post covers work within the TransPlus Gender Dysphoria service and wider trans/non-binary sexual healthcare based at 56 Dean Street. Candidates would ideally currently be in a GUM or SRH Specialty Training Programme, but applications from candidates in other training programmes, such as Public Health, could also be considered.



The senior clinical fellow will work alongside junior and senior members of staff to help manage those with gender dysphoria and sexual health needs. They will assist with the prescribing of hormone therapy, management of results, and liaison with GPs and other associated health professionals. They will be responsible for the formulation of treatment plans for those diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The service refers for the range of services described in the NHS England service specification and agrees and co- ordinates treatment plans specifically tailored to address each service-user’s goals and clinical needs.



The post holder will work a 40-hour week at 56 Dean Street. There will be opportunities for training in other specialist clinics within the department if the candidate so desires.



The post holder will work as part of the multidisciplinary TransPlus team to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care for individuals with gender dysphoria and associated sexual health needs.
