In this episode of “Integrate Your Care”, we sit down with three key members of the Queen Square Family Health Team’s Gender Affirming Care Program. We’re joined by Erin, the Nurse Practitioner Lead, Vivian, a Registered Social Worker, and Tayyaba, Manage of Nursing Services and Clinical Pharmacist, to explore the holistic and personalized care they provide to transgender and non-binary individuals.
This episode highlights the comprehensive support system offered by the program, covering medical, surgical, and social transitions, as well as any mental health challenges that may be faced. The team shares insights into the barriers transgender individuals encounter when accessing care, how primary care providers can bridge these gaps, and the importance of creating a safe, affirming healthcare environment.
Listeners will also learn about the importance of collaboration across healthcare disciplines-such as social work, pharmacy, and counselling-in supporting the unique journeys of transgender patients. The team offers a fresh perspective on the value of integrated care and its role in empowering patients to reach their transition goals.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how gender-affirming care is reshaping primary healthcare to be more inclusive and supportive for all.
