Have been with the practice for 18 months, and on testosterone for 13 years, initiated by NHS GIC. They aren't thrilled that the GIC discharged me without explicit instructions for ongoing monitoring, but so far no issues with them continuing to prescribe and monitor. I haven't needed referrals, letters etc from them and my details were already up to date so I can't comment on those aspects.

Avoid at pretty much all costs.
I went in for the first ever appointment for anything relating to gender, and one of the GPs was sitting in the reception loudly badmouthing "transgenderism", saying it was "like gang culture", and that "vulnerable kids" were being somehow tricked into it. I asked him to stop, and he then cornered me for 20 minutes, refusing to let me leave the conversation, insisting that he was not hateful (while also repeatedly saying hateful things), and mentioned that he makes sure trans kids are given extra appointments before a GIC referral, spaced months apart, and "a lot of them don't bother coming back to all of them" [implying that this meant the kids were not really trans, rather than that he had simply denied them healthcare].
Other GPs were less bad, but there were delays of months to get my name and gender marker updated, let alone a new NHS number - they only did it after their phone system went wrong, they talked to me when they thought they were talking to one another, and they loudly misgendered me down the phone in a dismissive and rude way. (This was bad enough that, unprompted, they immediately called me back to formally apologise on behalf of the practice.) I strongly suspect that if the guilt of that had not motivated them, they would never have updated my records.
They refuse point blank to do any kind of shared care, but my GP told me she would do the preliminary baseline blood tests before I started HRT, "as we would for any NHS patient" (these exact words are on my record). Another GP then denied my request for baseline blood tests to be carried out, despite this.
Do not go to Bridge Street if you are trans. Avoid at all costs.Notes from the moderator...

Reported Oct 2025 (experienced around Dec 2023)
I had booked an appointment and switched to this practice as some friends were able to secure bridged care for NHS-prescribed estrogen (gel/tablet), via Dr [...]. I had already made a GIC referral with my previous GP practice.
I wasn't able to get an appointment with Dr [...] despite trying a few times and, unfortunately, the Dr who I did see was markedly unhelpful. The usual "if you're on a GIC waitlist, they must prescribe, we can do nothing". Added to that, she flat out refused to do any bloodwork to monitor E/T levels, which was actually worse than my previous surgery.
Overall, I avoid the practice personally for anything transition-related. I now go to one of the free London clinics a few times a year to do my bloods.Notes from the moderator...
