NHS England advises trans people to use hospital facilities aligned with biological sex
NHS England has issued new guidance stating that trans patients should be cared for in hospital wards and facilities based on their biological sex, rather than their gender identity. The guidance emphasizes that safety and dignity should be maintained, and alternative arrangements should be made if single-sex care is not clinically appropriate. It also instructs staff facilities to reflect biological sex and encourages audits to ensure sufficient gender-neutral alternatives, amid ongoing challenges and legal disputes regarding the treatment of trans individuals in healthcare settings.
