Accessing the service and eligibility

Who is eligible?

Indigo Gender Service is the Greater Manchester transgender health service. We now directly accept new referrals. In order to access our services, you will need to meet the following criteria: 

• aged 17 or over at time of referral  
• registered with a GP in Greater Manchester and eligible for NHS treatment. 

If a patient registers with a GP practice outside of Greater Manchester, either whilst on the waiting list or during their care, they will be transferred to an appropriate alternative gender service. 

What to expect at your appointment?

We have created a step-by-step guide to what to expect on your first clinic appointment with Indigo. We know  this may be daunting for some so we want to show you how clean-cut and simple the service we offer can be.
