Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary People with Disabilities or Illnesses: A Good Practice Guide for Health and Care Provision

by Jennie Kermode

By drawing on the experience of trans people who are affected by physical disability, chronic illness and mental illness, this book is the definitive guide on providing best practise in approaches to health and care policy.

Suggesting solutions to areas where understanding and care provision is poor, Kermode gives advice on topics such as transitioning with a disability, sex-specific service provision and fertility and reproduction. The book also examines how health and care professionals can adapt to cater for transgender and non-binary people's needs and can support those who must use health services due to their condition.

Written in an accessible and comprehensive manner, Supporting Transgender and Non-Binary People with Disabilities or Illnesses is an essential guide for practitioners in health and social care positions.

[Christine Burns · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent and comprehensive book for professionals at any level involved in the management or delivery of clinical and social care services. Read it *before* you encounter your first transgender or non-binary service user, with or without disabilities, and you won’t go wrong.

Written clearly and concisely in a way that would be easy to understand for anyone, regardless of prior knowledge of trans people.
