<p>No specific formal assessment has been made. Gender medicine is a highly specialised
field of medicine, and NHS England are actively working to recruit more staff for
the new regional children and young people gender identity services. NHS England has
also been working closely with other professional bodies to develop tailored training
for these professionals. NHS England will commission the required professional training
curriculum and competencies framework, not just for staff working in the new gender
services, but also for clinicians working in secondary, primary, and community care.
It is expected that this will also help to increase the support for children and young
people, ensuring they receive a more holistic model of care.</p>
