GenderGP is a private gender clinic based in Singapore, founded by physicians Mike & Helen Webberley in 2015. They provide gender affirming care including puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for anybody who identifies as transgender or non-binary.

Pros

  • Short waiting times – Patients are often seen within just a few weeks of contact, this compares to months for other private gender clinics and often years for NHS gender clinics.
  • No minimum age – Most other gender clinics set a minimum age of 16 or 18 to access services
  • Parental consent isn’t required – All other gender clinics require anyone under 18 to have parental consent before starting treatment.
  • One-Stop Shop – A substantial range of additional services are available including injection supervision sessions (£40), Gender-Affirming Voice Coaching (£145) and Counselling (£80). Whilst it’s convenient having all these services in one place, you may find other organisations will provide you better value so it’s worth shopping around.

Cons

  • Expensive – An average patient on HRT can expect to pay over £1,000 per year across the subscription fees, prescriptions, prescribing fees, blood tests and follow up appointments. There is an additional setup fee (£195) and cost of an initial appointment (£65) for new patients to consider. The costs are considerably more for those who require puberty blockers.
  • Lack of Shared Care – There has been a lot of controversy around how GenderGP operates, primarily due to them providing treatment to adolescents without parental consent and being based outside of the UK. This has made it extremely difficult for GP’s to agree to provide shared care for patients. 1
  • Poor Customer Service – GenderGP no longer provide email support, instead you will be given automatic replies (generated by AI). If the automatic replies do not answer your question, you are then expected to pay for an appointment to speak with an independent wellbeing advisor (£7.99 for 15 minutes).
  • Monthly Subscription Fee – GenderGP charge a monthly subscription fee (£30), and it is unclear what you are actually provided in return for paying this fee.
  1. Shared Care means your General Practitioner (GP) can prescribe medication and provide blood tests as required by GenderGP. Those who receive shared care generally do not have to pay towards blood tests and will only have to pay the standard NHS prescription fee of £9.90 per item for medication (free for some patients), rather than the full cost of a medication. The amount of money saved by a patient through shared care is generally hundreds of pounds every year. ↩︎
