Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the leading providers of services for the LGBTQI+ communities including our gender dysphoria clinic ‘TransPlus’, trans sexual health service ‘56T’ and trans epilation service. Our trans services are recognised for their inclusivity & diversity, and recently won a Nursing Times Award for ‘Enhancing Patient Dignity’. Our ambition is to be the leading healthcare provider for trans and non-binary service users in the UK, building on the specialist expertise and knowledge of our clinical teams.

In October 2022, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital was commissioned by NHS England to provide surgical treatment for people with gender dysphoria on a female-to-male pathway. As no other NHS provider had been offering this service nationally, this initiative represented a groundbreaking opportunity to establish a new surgical program. By January 2023, the first metoidioplasty procedure had been performed, marking an important milestone. A year later, in January 2024, the commissioning of masculinising top surgery and lower feminising surgery set the next phase in motion. In July 2024, the first phalloplasty procedure took place, followed closely by the first vulvoplasty/vaginoplasty procedure in September 2024.
