An accessible, research-based guide to sensitively treating and caring for transgender patients
Ben Vincent holds a PhD in Sociology and Social Policy from the University of Leeds. Ben specialises in transgender identity, community practices, and transgender healthcare.
At last, a book that fulfills the very real need among medical
practitioners, faced with growing numbers of transgender or
non-binary service users in everyday practice. This is a very
comprehensive volume, packed with up-to-date advice from a clinical
expert. A must-have on every shelf.

I can't think of anyone, working in any aspect of general
healthcare, who wouldn't be likely to provide much better care to
trans people as a result of reading this book.
*Dr James Barrett, Lead Clinician of the Charing Cross Gender
Identity Clinic*
Dr Vincent's book, 'Transgender health', is comprehensive and
thorough in its scope and detail; historically and philosophically
well grounded, giving much food for thought, yet it is also direct
and practical. Dr Vincent brings their characteristic scholastic
integrity to this excellent book. On behalf of GIRES, Bernard and
Terry Reed recommend it to professional as well as lay readers.
*Terry Reed OBE and Bernard Reed OBE, founders of the trans charity
GIRES*
One of the best and easiest to read medical texts I've found. It's
very informative and answered many questions that I had...The text
is broken into easy-to-read chunks and well-referenced and includes
a nice personal touch at the end.
