INTERIM SERVICE SPECIFICATION
Interim Specialist Service for Children and Young People with Gender Incongruence
The Service will provide care to children and young people, and their families, who
express gender incongruence and who are likely to benefit from clinical support.
The Service will adopt a holistic, multi-disciplinary integrated approach to assessing
and responding to an individual’s needs in view of the range of co-presentations
that may typically present in this patient cohort, and the range of complexities
relating to gender identity development. The most appropriate clinical pathway in
the best interests of the child or young person will be determined through an
integrated multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach, fully involving the child or young
person and their family................
