Common questions

Will updating my name with the gender clinic affect my waiting list position?

No. A name change is a purely administrative update. Your clinical referral, waiting list position, and any ongoing treatment are completely unaffected.

How do I update my name with an NHS gender clinic?

Contact the clinic's administration team by phone or in writing and provide a certified copy of your deed poll. Ask them to confirm the update in writing so you have a record. Your NHS number stays the same; only the name on your file changes.

Does my GP need to be notified separately from the gender clinic?

Yes. Your GP and your gender clinic hold separate records. Updating one does not automatically update the other. Notify your GP surgery of the name change with your deed poll, and they will update your NHS patient record independently.

What if the clinic keeps using my old name after I've submitted my deed poll?

Follow up in writing and ask the clinic to confirm the update has been made. If the problem persists, contact the clinic's Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) or your GP. Persistent use of a wrong name in a clinical setting can be raised as a formal complaint.

I am on a waiting list and haven't been seen yet. Should I still update my name?

Yes. Update as soon as possible so that when your appointment does come through, all correspondence and clinical contact is in your correct name from the outset. It is much simpler to update before first contact than to correct records later.
