Join Scottish Trans for a workshop in Ayr on Wednesday 11th November to discuss how we can campaign to improve access to trans healthcare locally! Link to register is in the comments.
Trans healthcare in Scotland, especially in areas that refer to Sandyford, is in a dire state. In fact, recent figures show that Sandyford has the longest waiting time in the UK. We think the main cause of the length of Sandyford's waiting list is the sheer volume of referrals they get - they currently cover roughly half of Scotland's population. Eight health boards across Scotland refer to Sandyford, and we believe the only way to fix the waiting times would be for more of these health boards to begin to deliver gender identity healthcare themselves. So, we want to start campaigning in these health boards!
This workshop will be focused on gathering people who want to campaign in Ayrshire & Arran and thinking about how we can campaign to encourage the health board to do more to improve our access to healthcare. If you want to take action to improve trans healthcare and have some time and energy to spare, please come along!
The event will be held at the Cutty-Sark Centre (40 High St, Ayr) and will run between 6.00pm and 8.00pm on Wednesday 11th November.
If you're in Forth Valley, you can join us in Stirling for another campaign meeting at the Albert Halls (Dumbarton Road, Stirling), 6-8pm, Wednesday 4th November.
