This professional development resource comprises four books of information. The first three are desisgned to help you understand the lives of transgender people and then apply this knowldege to patient facing situations and working with staff who are transitioning. The first three books have sets of confirmation questions which help to gain your CPD credit.
The fourth book is for interets and includes information about transgender people in the media and sport and how transgender people are recognised around the world. Also in the final book you will find a whole host of references and links in case you want to find out more. There are no confirmation questions for this book.

Notes for Colleagues in Wales
During the development of this resource we went to great lengths to check the information was correct. Despite this, things do change and we have been made aware of a few details which are now incorrect.
Number of Gender Identity Clinics
Reference 'Understanding Trans People' (Book 1), Page 26
The toolkit states there are seven gender identity clinics in England, with one due to open in Wales. Since completion of the resource the Welsh Gender Service opened in July 2019 and is based at St David’s Hospital in Cardiff.
Use of Pathways in NHS 111
Reference 'Better Care to Trans Patients' (Book 2), Page 11
It is noted that the Welsh NHS 111 service does not use the Pathways system that is described in this section. This does not impact on any of the confirmation questions.

Nodir nad yw gwasanaeth GIG Cymru 111 yn defnyddio'r system Llwybrau a ddisgrifir yn yr adran hon. Nid yw hyn yn effeithio ar unrhyw un o'r cwestiynau cadarnhau.
