Nottingham patients ‘terrified’ after ‘cruel’ decision to withdraw hormone prescriptions

Patients who have had their hormones revoked by a Nottinghamshire GP have recalled the “cruel” moment they discovered their healthcare had been withdrawn.

Jubilee Park Medical Partnership, which runs various practices in the East Midlands, publicly announced on Monday (30 December) that it would stop prescribing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medication to all transgender patients.

Those who are currently on HRT under the partnership have reportedly been told their prescription has been withdrawn, which prompted mass backlash from protest group Nottingham Against Transphobia, which deemed the decision “deeply misguided.”

Speaking to PinkNews, two patients under the partnership’s care recalled the “unconscionable” way they were told that their medication had been stripped from them just weeks before Christmas.
