Some Uplifting (I Think) news if you fall under Cheshire and Merseyside

 

The Cmagic pilot has started. So its not all doom and gloom.

 

CMAGIC Is the Cheshire and Merseyside Adult Gender Identity Collaborative.  The collaborative was set up to improve service provision for transgender and non-binary patients (TGNB). 

 

CMAGIC is one of the new NHS gender incongruence pilots for adults (age 17 and over) and brings together clinicians, community groups, and NHS services to provide a community-based approach to improving access to gender identity healthcare.
