To contribute to the growth of the gender-affirming healthcare sector, which is evolving rapidly but still not readily available in all countries. Those navigating their gender-affirming journey will benefit from an educational orientation process that helps them weigh the current options and to feel more empowered while making important healthcare decisions and researching which experienced professionals are right for them. 

Mission

The Forum is an initiative of Facialteam, with roots in similar congresses in Australia since 2015 aimed at bringing together specialists in Gender Affirming Healthcare to raise visibility of the sector but primarily to attend to the needs of women in transition without straightforward access to quality care by local professionals.

History

The Gender-Affirming Health Forum is an interactive community event which has been developed so that people navigating their own gender transition may access more in-depth information, meet select international providers and also connect with others in the community who share the same journey.

Additionally to this 2nd Gender Affirming Health Forum, our surgeons and FFS Specialists Dr. Luis Capitán and Dr. Raúl Bellinga will be attending the event along with other Facialteam team members to offer in-person orientations too.

Your initial orientation will be done on-site one day before the event in London on Monday 25th, November 2024. During this orientation, our surgeons will walk you through the procedures and they'll explain the personalized facial reconstruction surgery recommended for your facial skeleton bones, as well as any soft tissue work that may be needed. 

If you are starting to look into gender transition options, the Forum will be ideal to get a variety of expert advice from both dedicated care providers as well as people who have a story to tell. 

You will come out equipped with a better understanding of what different gender-affirming services are available, with many questions answered and better prepared for any future consultations you may seek.

There is a lot to think about, so join us and bring your questions. Remember, your friends and family are more than welcome too!
