Build confidence in gender-affirming care through PATHI's educational programme for healthcare professionals.

About the Training

Join us in Dún Laoghaire for module 2 (Intermediate) and module 3 (Prescribing) of our trans health training programme!

The Professional Association for Trans Health Ireland (PATHI) Trans Health Training for Healthcare Providers is a three-module sequential training programme designed to build the skills and competencies of healthcare workers in the care of trans and gender diverse (TGD) people.

These modules are open to all but aimed primarily at GPs (including trainees), nurses, and pharmacists working across primary care and sexual health. The training ensures cultural and communication skills are developed firstly, using principle-based care, moving toward more active clinical roles and competencies.

Intermediate Module

Time: 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM

Pre-requisite: Foundations

The second of our three modules, Intermediate explores more clinical queries, and is intended more for healthcare providers who engage with these in their professional duties. We will explore sexual health topics, as well as general health needs of TGD individuals and finally we will delve into GAC topics that are adjunctive to prescribing hormones, in preparation for the final module.

Prescribing Module

Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Pre-requisites: Foundations, Intermediate

The final of our three modules, Prescribing is intended for GPs (including trainees), nurses, and pharmacists across primary care and sexual health. The module focuses on a five-step prescribing process for gender-affirming care. We will explore background material about the informed consent model, within the Irish context, while drawing approaches from successful clinics internationally. We will then explore step-by-step clinical reasoning, working through frequently encountered problems together.
