Patients ‘confused’ by lobby group’s involvement in GPs’ refusal to prescribe HRT
Patients in Nottingham have expressed concern and confusion over a letter defending the decision by some GPs to stop prescribing hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Some GPs stopped issuing HRT to trans people after the Jubilee Park Medical partnership, which runs practices in the East Midlands, announced in December that it would no longer prescribe the medication, even to those already taking it.
It is understood cisgender patients will still be able to access HRT for menopausal-related issues.
The decision was branded “deeply misguided” by activist group Nottingham Against Transphobia, which highlighted in a post on Thursday (16 January) that patients affected by the change had received a letter from the Nottingham Local Medical Committee (LMC), justifying the move.
