Abstract

Hormone therapy

Guidelines

gender affirming care

medical care

gender affirming hormone therapy

primary care

New Zealand

This guideline aims to facilitate a primary care-based approach and to give general practitioners (GPs) and nurse practitioners (NPs) tools and information to safely initiate gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) in collaboration with their patients. They remove a standard requirement for a mandatory mental health assessment, instead encouraging an individualised approach which utilises psychological support and input only when needed. The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) have endorsed these guidelines.
