Transgender training and knowledge left to chance.
Just 13% of nurses feel prepared to meet the needs of their transgender patients, according to a survey by the RCN. The UK-wide research involving more than 1,200 nursing staff found this could be due to lack of training, despite more than three quarters encountering transgender patients in their work, and 56% caring for them directly.
