Our ambition is to be the leading healthcare provider for Trans and non-binary service users in the UK, building on the specialist expertise and knowledge of our clinical teams.
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.

There are two positions available, one to start in June 2024 and one in August 2024.
The specialty doctor 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 Directorate of HIV/GUM and Dermatology works closely with a number of other departments including general medical specialities (e.g. dermatology, neurology), cancer services, liaison psychiatry, substance misuse, gynaecology, children's services, maternity services, urology and ophthalmology. There is also liaison and joint research with the pathology departments.
Teaching:
