This publication is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/gender-recognition-certificate-list-of-medical-practitioners-in-gender-dysphoria/doctors-and-psychologists-specialising-in-gender-dysphoria
When you apply for Gender Recognition Certificate, you need to provide a medical report written by a doctor or psychologist specialising in gender dysphoria.
Doctors must be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and have a licence to practice. If your medical report was written before 16 November 2009, they only need to be registered with the GMC.
Psychologists must be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
This is not a full list and you do not have to use someone from this list.
The section on former medical practitioners might be helpful if you are looking for contact details for someone who has previously treated you or written your medical reports.
Most applications need to include a second report written by a medical professional, but they do not need to specialise in gender dysphoria. This report could be written by your GP or surgeon.
