Event details
The session will include a chance to talk through some ‘case study’ examples, and the option to ask questions anonymously. As always, the sessions are a learning space where we try and meet one another with respect, assume good faith in our questions, and learn together.
Dr Caspian Priest (he/him) is a South East Scotland based FY1 doctor and an author of "Transgender Healthcare: Caring for Trans Patients" - a course which has won a National LGBT Advisor Award for Health, with over 1,500 learners in the last year. Caspian is also a lecturer for trans health at St George's University London, and has a Master's in research.
Resources to explore before the session:
Trans Health key terminology.pdf – a quick glossary of some of the key terms used about/by trans people, and a note about changing language.
Trans Health Background reading.pdf A short list of other data pieces you might benefit from looking at or taking away with you, including some key data on trans health inequalities in the UK, some ethical insight into care decisions, and a video resource about trans people by trans people.
Key message: Creating dialogue around trans healthcare and seeking to address some of the barriers faced by trans people will better equip attendees for how to treat trans patients, colleagues or others with respect and dignity, as well as move toward a better standard of care for trans people, as well as better understanding.
Questions to consider:
- How could we talk about maternity cover for a trans man?
- Is this a good place for trans people to work and study?
- Why might trans people not access medical care?
