Trans and non-binary people face a feally big health burden, in comparison to the rest of the population.

We heard a mix of positive and negative stories from 20 trans or non-binary people who access care services in Lewisham. From these stories we identified that attitudes, services, and systems in Lewisham health services were leaving our participants with unmet needs.

The changes we recommend  could mean that trans and non-binary people have more options to access care and a better understanding of what options are available to them. It will also mean that health service providers will be more confident when treating this group.
