Transforming Care: Launch of Health Pathways in Adult Trans Health and Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy

Posted Saturday 10 May 2025 | ASHM & BSPHN

ASHM and Brisbane South PHN are proud to collaborate on the launch of the following Health Pathways:  

• Gender-affirming hormones 
• Transgender Health and Gender Diversity in Adults 

The Pathways are designed to support General Practitioners (GPs) in providing inclusive, evidence-based care for trans and gender diverse patients aged 18 and over. 

This GP-focused session will cover both the initiation and ongoing management of GAHT, equipping clinicians with the knowledge and confidence to support their patients effectively. The session will include case-based discussions to explore real-world scenarios, clinical considerations, and best practices in gender affirming care. 

Key topics

• Initiating GAHT: assessment, prescribing, and patient-centered care 
• Ongoing monitoring and long-term management of patients on GAHT 
• Case-based discussions to enhance clinical decision-making 
• Best practice guidelines and resources for GPs 

This interactive session will provide GPs with the opportunity to engage with experienced clinicians and community experts, ask questions, and build their knowledge in gender affirming healthcare.

Learning outcomes 

By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 

• Assess patient suitability, initiate hormone therapy, and provide ongoing care following best practice guidelines. 
• Enhance decision-making skills by exploring real-world scenarios and addressing common challenges in gender affirming care. 
• Gain insights from healthcare and community experts and identify key resources to support patients on GAHT.
