This is the first report on research from the project ‘Integrating Care for Trans Adults’ (ICTA) – also referred to as ‘Before, During, and After Adult Gender Identity Specialist Services: Improving the integration of care for trans adults’ (BeDAGIS). This project has been funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and ran for two years from March 2019.

 

The purpose of work package 1 was to identify the range of integration arrangements in services for trans adults currently being used or planned, to emerge from a broader review of services available and relevant to trans adults. Policy and other documents relevant to health services and care for trans adults were sourced from health bodies in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The initial target was to sample 10% of constituent NHS organisations, which has been exceeded.
