Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their sex assigned at birth.

Until recently, these people have too often fallen into the ‘too hard’ category when dealing with their health, disease, and illness – and there are many reasons for this.

However, it is imperative that we find a satisfactory solution to adhere to one of the core foundations of pathology: to provide the best care to our patients.

In this podcast, we explore the challenges Pathology organisations like Clinpath face in order to best serve our trans patients and examine what we know about the biological changes they go through during and after their transition.

This episode includes interviews with Dr Devika Thomas and Dr Nicole Sladden.
