It is expected that the post holder will develop or continue to develop specialist knowledge in transgender healthcare and attend (if required) the Royal College of Physicians and University of London Gender Identity Healthcare course (funded by NHSE). It is anticipated that once the post holder has completed any additional training needed for the role and established themselves in the service, training opportunities for medical staff in training grades (e.g. special interest sessions for higher trainees in psychiatry) can be explored with SPFT's Medical Education team. The post holder will work within the multidisciplinary team to support reflective practice and learning through audit and research. The post holder will have opportunity to provide leadership and participate in the development of research within the development to further the evidence base in this area.

This is to maintain primary care clinical skills and knowledge which will serve to enrich SPFTs clinical MDT and also aid in the further development of networks with primary care.
