About this event

  • Date and time Fri 23 Sep 2022 from 9:00am to 5:00pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

This important event will touch on many different aspects of gender dysphoria to increase understanding within the healthcare sector and explore the treatment options for these patients. Specialist speakers will clarify the multidisciplinary options for the assessment and treatment for patients with gender dysphoria as well as explore the advances in facial feminisation. 

There have been very few events outside this specialist area to educate health care professionals on gender dysphoria. This important meeting will allow delegates to understand the options available to patients with gender dysphoria and to hear from leading experts in the field. 

During this meeting you will:

  • Enhance your knowledge on the advances in techniques for facial feminisation
  • Understand gender dysphoria and learn about the current best practice

  • Understand the treatment options, psychological, medical and surgical

  • Learn about the surgical options for different areas of the body

  • Value communication between all health professionals to produce the best healthcare for these groups of patients
