NHS Call for evidence: a clinical pathway for adults who have previously undergone a gender transition and who wish to detransition

[IwantToRetire]

1. Overview

NHS England is developing a clinical pathway for adults who have previously undergone a gender transition and who subsequently wish to detransition.

In April 2025, as one of several planned engagement exercises to help shape this programme of work, NHS England invited individuals with lived experience to share their views and experiences of detransition. NHS England heard the challenges that people who detransition may face, including that many people live with physical and mental healthcare needs but struggle to access the right support to address them.

Building on these insights, NHS England is now calling for evidence from healthcare professionals.

The call for evidence will run for 8 weeks between Thursday 30 October and Sunday 28 December 2025.

Individuals with lived experience who wish to be involved in this work as it develops may register their interest by emailing [email protected].

(I saw a news item about this, and think / hope this is the consultation referred to. Not sure how many health professionals are on FWR but thought it would be of interest.)

well good news that they are doing this

Thanks for sharing. It is somewhat odd that this was published in April and nobody seems to have heard of it?

I hope they haven’t left it unpublicised with the aim that few will respond and they can claim there is no issue. Forgive my cynicism.

As I understand this particular aspect of the review was only launched a couple of days ago.

That's why I first saw it as a news story, and wasted time (stupid google) looking for a recent NHS press release.

But in fact it is just an announcement added to the overall Cass Review response.

So not sure if any health professionals on FWR but thought it might be something to be shared if anyone knows someone who has detransitioned.

Its not been headline news, and it was sheer chance that i saw a reference to it.

For anyone who missed this when it was first posted.

Or to share with detransitioners
