Following the recent UK Supreme Court ruling regarding the interpretation of equalities legislation, we want to reaffirm our commitment to supporting our Trans, Non-Binary, and Intersex communities during these uncertain times. While there is still much we do not know, we will continue to share updates with you as new information becomes available.
Your wellbeing matters to us. We are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and gender-neutral environment where you can speak openly about your health needs. We work in close partnership with the Sussex Gender Service to ensure that our care is current, informed, and respectful. All of our staff have received trans awareness training, equipping them to use appropriate language, pronouns, and offer sensitive support.
If you’d like to speak to someone, feel free to drop in and ask for Helena, Admin Lead, who can provide a private and confidential space to help with general enquiries. If you would like to speak with a clinician, we recommend booking an appointment with Dr Lindsay Vallance or Pippa Mitchell (ANP), who lead our TNBI health reviews.
Whether your needs are physical, mental, or psychosocial, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — by phone, online form, or by visiting the Practice in person.
