Common challenges in primary care - Gender Services

Posted Thursday 09 May 2024 | Brisbane North Primary Health Network

As part of our GP common challenges in primary care education series, Brisbane North PHN and Metro North Hospital and Health Service invite GPs to join us and our panel of experts for an evening of education and discussion.

Care of trans, gender diverse, and non-binary (TGDNB) patients is interesting and rewarding. TGDNB people can face many challenges when accessing healthcare. Having a GP who is gender-affirming is extremely beneficial and can help TGDNB people navigate the health system and have their biopsychosocial health needs met.

Join your GP colleagues and multidisciplinary Specialists from the Metro North Gender Services team for case-based learning regarding gender diversity and gender affirming care of TGDNB adults. 

This interactive online education evening will utilise case studies to improve GP confidence in working with TGDNB adults, managing complex cases, and referring patients to RBWH Gender Service. GPs attending will be provided with recommendations and tips for working with TGDNB adult patients in general practice. There will be an opportunity to engage with our panel of experts about advice on management, referral options, and support services that may be useful for you in primary care.
