A doctor offering an online clinic for transgender patients has won a High Court appeal after she was suspended from working.
Dr. Helen Webberley, who worked as a GP in south Wales, will be allowed to work again after the court ordered the General Medical Council to end their six-year case against the founder of GenderGP, an online service which provided gender affirming healthcare services to the transgender community.
The practice was investigated by the General Medical Council with Dr Webberley accused of ‘failing to provide good clinical care’ to three transgender patients in 2016. As part of GenderGP, the GP had prescribed hormones and ‘puberty blockers’ to children as young as 12 - many of whom had been previously denied treatment via the NHS.
