The NHS child gender clinic

Are NHS child gender clinicians misleading patients?

A former staff member at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, the UK's only NHS gender identity service for children, accused it of misleading patients and making life changing decisions based on insufficient evidence.

Dr Kirsty Entwistle said parents are told puberty blockers are "fully reversible" when no one knows the long-term impact.

Paul Jenkins is the chief executive of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust and denies the accusations.
