But the TQ+ cult continues to deny that children are transed

Dr Helen Webberley said that her licence had been revoked on a technicality

ADRIAN SHERRATT FOR THE TIMES

James Beal, Social Affairs Editor Friday July 19 2024

The General Medical Council has revoked the licence to practise of a controversial British doctor whose offshore clinic treats transgender children.

Dr Helen Webberley, 55, will lose her licence in Britain from Friday but will remain on the GMC’s register, following the decision by the medical regulator.

The decision was made by the GMC after she did not comply with a registered doctor’s legal obligation to revalidate their licence every five years.

Webberley runs GenderGP, an online company registered in Singapore, which facilitates access to puberty blockers and hormones for adults and children.

She told The Times that the decision would not prevent her from continuing in her role at GenderGP and said that she did not personally treat the patients.

Michael Webberley was struck off in 2022 for prescribing hormones to patients as young as nine without proper assessments

Webberley said: “I fought incredibly hard to keep my licence, both for myself and also for the community, because it’s important to set precedent. Now to have it taken away on a technicality, if you like, is very heartbreaking, but I will continue my work as I have done.”

GenderGP assesses adults and children with gender dysphoria and connects them to doctors outside Britain, in the European Economic Area (EEA), for prescriptions for hormones.

This means UK children as young as eight can access puberty blockers, despite the Cass Report, a review of trans healthcare led by the paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, concluding there was no good evidence for prescribing them.

Webberley was suspended from practising medicine in 2022 after she was found to have committed serious misconduct by a Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service panel over her treatment of three trans children. She successfully appealed against the decision at the High Court in 2023.

Dr Hilary Cass’s review found there was no good evidence to support the global clinical practice of prescribing hormones to under-18s to pause puberty

TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER RICHARD POHLE

Webberley said that she had not used her licence to practise since 2017, when investigations into her conduct by the GMC began. She said that she could not revalidate her licence because she could not find a “responsible officer”, or suitable person, to vouch for her fitness to practise.

Doctors are required to notify the GMC of a designated body and responsible officer to do this.

Webberley said: “The difficulty is … I no longer have a connection with an NHS trust or a GP surgery. I don’t have a responsible officer. It’s also very difficult to get that connection after what I’ve been through.”

She says she was offered the chance to take an exam in order to revalidate her licence, but declined because they “don’t have one for doctors working in transgender medicine”.

Michael and Helen Webberley are now thought to be living in Spain while their business is registered in Singapore

The GMC then withdrew her licence, which it can do if it determines that guidance to revalidate has not been complied with “without reasonable excuse”.

Webberley, from south Wales, said that she would carry on her work at GenderGP.

She said: “I’m not allowed to directly treat and manage individual patients [but] I’m not treating them.

“Treatment means sitting down with somebody, making a diagnosis, making a treatment management plan, prescribing medication, following up investigations and results.

“With GenderGP we have a whole team of professionals who do that. I don’t treat patients individually. They [the GMC] don’t have a regulatory role in my wider work.”

A GMC spokesman said: “Every licensed doctor must take part in the revalidation process, which provides assurance that they are keeping their knowledge up to date, are fit to practise and that no concerns have been raised about them.

“Doctors who do not have a connection to a designated body or suitable person are able to revalidate in a number of ways, including by passing a written multiple choice test called a revalidation assessment.

“There are 12 assessments to choose from, and doctors are encouraged to choose one closest to their most recent area of specialty. We cannot tailor assessments to every doctor’s specific area of practice.

“If doctors do not comply with our guidance on revalidation without reasonable excuse, we may withdraw their licence to practise.”

Webberley and her husband Michael, who set up GenderGP in 2015, are now believed to live in Spain.

As an online business based abroad it is not registered with the Care Quality Commission, but Helen Webberley has denied basing it in Asia to avoid scrutiny.

Michael Webberley, 67, a former gastroenterologist, was struck off in 2022 for prescribing hormones to patients as young as nine without proper assessments.

GenderGP was also criticised in the High Court earlier this year for giving “dangerously high” levels of hormones to a 16-year-old, who was born female but identified as male, that could have resulted in sudden death.

Webberley has called the court claim “untrue”. The Times reported last month that GenderGP, which has more than 10,000 patients, had ditched health advisers in favour of an AI algorithm providing “self-service” treatment.

Behind the story

The health secretary Wes Streeting has indicated that he will seek to make permanent the temporary three-month ban on puberty blockers being supplied to children (James Beal writes).

But Helen Webberley said children at her clinic were still getting hold of them.

Laws to ban the drugs being supplied by private or offshore clinics were passed by Victoria Atkins, Streeting’s predecessor, in emergency legislation before the general election.

They are due to expire on September 3, but the Labour government suggested last week that it would, subject to court proceedings, renew the ban with a view to making it permanent.

It followed the Cass Report, which found there was no good evidence to support the global clinical practice of prescribing hormones to under-18s to pause puberty or transition.

However, Webberley, in an interview with The Times last month, said patients at her offshore clinic were going abroad, using foreign doctors and chemists, to side-step the ban.

She said: “The parents of young people who are affected by this ban will find another way. The last thing is that they will allow their child to stop the puberty blocker and start going through puberty. That’s going to really really affect them mentally and physically.

“I know mums and dads who are just going on holiday to get their puberty blocker instead. They’re going to wherever they’re going on holiday this year.”

Distancing GenderGP, her clinic, from their actions, she said: “We don’t have to find those opportunities, the parents find those ways of managing it.”

Now the revelation that she has lost her GMC licence to practise may increase concerns about her clinic, which operates out of reach of regulators such as the Care Quality Commission.

It follows disclosures that GenderGP had created an AI algorithm to make treatment recommendations rather than using health advisers.

However, given the state of transgender healthcare in the UK, with long waiting lists for treatment, it may not deter transgender patients from turning to GenderGP.

me as a kid: i have all these problems

every adult around me: you're not old enough to know what's wrong with you, you're fine

me as an adult: i still have all these problems

Oh! Small win at work!

So, our files are super out of compliance to the point DHS dinged us *hard*. So my new project at work is going through clients and updating all the 245d paperwork.

Except I have never spoken to any of these clients and some of the stuff I'm doing are assessments and abuse prevention plans.

Which, for some clients, I can just pull information from past documents and go from there.

But some? They ain't got shit. Except what the case manager sends us.

I got praised for being able to use just that information to do these assessments and have them up to where they need to be legally. I also got praised for my outcomes and methods writing. And I got told "you are an amazing clinical writer" today.

Always feels good to know I still "got it" when it comes to clinical writing.

Revolutionizing the Ovarian Cancer Market: Strategies for Success | DLI

Ovarian Cancer Overview:

Ovarian Cancer is a formidable health challenge affecting women globally. It is characterized by the abnormal growth of cells in the ovaries, which are vital components of the female reproductive system. Often diagnosed at an advanced stage, ovarian cancer poses significant clinical and therapeutic complexities.

Ovarian cancer silently appears as a powerful foe that demands undivided attention. It is unyielding and resilient. It affects women of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds and spares no one. This sneaky illness hides its presence, frequently coming to light only when the fight grows more difficult.

The Market Competitors Listed Below are Revolutionizing Healthcare with Innovative Diagnostic Inventions:

Price & Market Access

Diagnostic Analysis:

Early Detection Challenges:

Early diagnosis of ovarian cancer remains a critical issue due to its asymptomatic nature in the initial stages. Lack of specific symptoms and effective screening tools makes timely detection a formidable task.

Screening Methods:

Currently, screening methods primarily include pelvic examinations, transvaginal ultrasounds, and blood tests measuring CA-125 levels. However, these methods often lack the sensitivity and specificity needed for reliable early detection.

Treatment Analysis:

Standard Treatment Modalities:

Treatment approaches for ovarian cancer encompass a multidisciplinary approach, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy. The extent of surgical intervention and choice of chemotherapeutic agents are determined by factors like stage, histology, and patient's overall health.

Emerging Therapies:

Immunotherapy and personalized medicine are emerging as promising avenues in ovarian cancer treatment. These approaches aim to enhance the body's natural immune response and tailor treatments based on the genetic profile of the tumor.

Regulatory Framework:

FDA and EMA Guidelines:

Regulatory bodies like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in the United States and EMA (European Medicines Agency) in Europe play a pivotal role in approving and regulating treatments for ovarian cancer. Rigorous clinical trials and safety assessments are mandatory before a therapy can be marketed.

Therapeutics:

Targeted Therapies:

Targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors and angiogenesis inhibitors have shown promise in treating specific types of ovarian cancer. They work by interfering with the specific molecular pathways that cancer cells rely on for growth.

Immunotherapies:

Immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, are being investigated for their potential to enhance the body's immune system to recognize and attack ovarian cancer cells.

Diagnostic Techniques:

Genomic Profiling:

Advancements in genomic profiling have revolutionized the understanding of ovarian cancer. DNA sequencing and molecular profiling enable a more precise characterization of the tumor, guiding treatment decisions.

Liquid Biopsies:

Liquid biopsies, analyzing blood or other bodily fluids, offer a non-invasive method to monitor tumor genetics and detect minimal residual disease.

Treatment Techniques:

Minimally Invasive Surgery:

Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy, have gained prominence in ovarian cancer surgery. They offer shorter recovery times and reduced post-operative complications.

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC):

HIPEC is an innovative technique that delivers heated chemotherapy directly to the abdominal cavity during surgery. This approach targets residual cancer cells and has shown promise in improving survival rates.

Browse More Information:

Clinical Assessment:

Multidisciplinary Teams:

Ovarian cancer treatment requires collaboration among various specialists, including gynecologic oncologists, surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiologists, to create personalized treatment plans.

Survivorship Care:

Long-term survivorship care plans are essential to address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of recovery after ovarian cancer treatment.

Expanding Therapeutic Landscape:

The ovarian cancer therapeutics market is witnessing a surge in research and development efforts, with a growing number of targeted and immunotherapeutic agents in the pipeline.

forgot to make a beginning of the school year post. so. here it is.

GRAD SCHOOL HAS STARTED !!!! 🥳

i've had a week so far and i love it so much:)) some of the classes are eh but overall it's so good and people are so kind:) here are my fall semester classes:

Cross Cultural Psychology

Intro to Clinical Practice

Cognitive Assessment

Intro to Psychological Research

History and Systems

and in addition to that, i'm doing a field placement! i'm going to keep it vague/anonymous for privacy, but it's been really lovely to get back to interacting with clients again <3

unsure how i'll be using this tumblr in grad school/over the next few months. it obviously has moved away from being a studyblr as covid has lessened its impact on governmental guidelines/i've been able to go out and interact with people more. the blog might just reflect the start of grad school in that the number of psychology fact posts will probably increase, as i'm learning a ton of cool new things:)

but as always, if there's something you're curious about/want to know about my experience, do feel free to ask:) <3 hope the beginning of the school year is going well for all of you!! <3

[kordbot]

i should. probably give an update here considering i just love making concerning posts apparently. ive reached out for guidance on how to set up therapy / meds and after 19 slutty slutty unmedicated years i will hopefully be getting professional help 👍

[littleoddwriter]

Update:

it's been a little over 3 weeks and... I had to quit the clinic/leave early. which obviously derails the plans I've had completely. which is annoying and very frustrating and elicited feelings & thoughts I hate to have. but it was the right decision. this clinic was horrible for me and only made me more unstable with every day that I was there (didn't think that was possible, lol).

(details and a bit of a rant under the cut)

while, usually, it makes sense for things to get a little worse first before it gets better, this was not the case here. I didn't feel comfortable with the staff. the doctors and therapists seemed very dismissive and hectic to me. the organisation and communication were crap. (like... how the fuck do I have five doctors/therapists in a room with me, discussing what meds to give me, only for them to not have a single clue about that a week later (after not giving me the meds because they Forgot...) and not believe me when I repeated what THEY told me. only for the meds to have lactose in them (I'm lactose intolerant) and so of course I reacted (they KNEW I had an issue with lactose and still gave them to me. I wouldn't even have known what was in them if I hadn't looked up the package insert online...) like what the actual fucking fuck). I've been to 2 clinics before and it was far better there, which is great and I'm glad I had something to compare my experience there to because sometimes I thought I might be overreacting, but I explained it to both of my social workers independently and they both agreed that it was Not Good. I already felt that way on my very first day there, but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and just wait and see for two weeks at least. but alas, it only got worse for me. I also sat down with one of the doctors and one of the therapists and my social worker last week to talk my issues and my fears through with them; but again, they just didn't even try to help. (basically, what that talk came down to was that "[they] can't do more than what [they're] doing already (virtually Nothing) and it's solely on me to make the best of it or quit otherwise". obviously, I know that myself. I was looking for some guidance and help. some sort of advice. maybe a recommendation for someplace else. just... something. i explicitly asked for it, too. and I would have gotten that at those two other clinics I went to before because they actually cared about helping me. just for comparison's sake. instead, I was busy explaining my issues (more than I listed here, and I didn't exactly say that I had issues with the staff because duh but y'know, there were enough other issues that came up anyway) three times to make them somewhat 'understand' and have my social worker reiterate how badly I've been doing and how much help I need and that I'm feeling very helpless and alone; even while I'm there.)

for anyone that ever considers going to a mental health clinic: you should feel like you can actually talk to somebody if needed. you should feel safe. you should feel like you'll be caught when falling. you should never feel like you have to manage on your own completely. mental hospitals are for support and management. the staff should be a shoulder to lean on, a listening ear, a guiding hand, a safe haven that you can practice in/with. if that is not what you encounter at the hospital, you should look for a different one (if possible).

anyway. I've been debating with myself for over a week whether or not I should actually quit and I couldn't really decide until this Tuesday. that was the first day I was back at the clinic after five whole days off (because of the holidays), and it was like Hell on earth. it only showed me that if I had to do this every day for 3 to 5 more weeks, I'd break down completely and can go to a closed psychiatry right after, which is exactly what I've been trying to prevent with this clinic, of course. that's how bad it'd been for me there.

something that's been frustrating me most about this clinic and the dismissiveness of the staff I encountered, though, is that they were very clearly not equipped for a patient like me (somebody with severe symptoms, several different disorders, unprocessed traumas, etc.), and that they should have felt responsible enough to tell me that when I came in for a first talk in December to be put on the waiting list for a spot at the clinic. the whole point of this first talk is to assess whether or not this clinic is the right space for me, if they are equipped for somebody like me. instead they just waved me through and now I was forced to have that realisation on my own and become increasingly angry toward the staff because it's very irresponsible of them. most other patients I encountered there had depression, anxiety, and/or burn-out and were already on their way to getting better. and this clinic helped them gain back control, learn to manage better, etc. and for a lot of them it helped them. that's great and I'm happy for them! but it's very clear that that is what this clinic is truly for. not for someone like me. and they know that, in my opinion, they should know that, at least. and they should have told me to look for a different clinic instead because this wasn't the one for me. (but from what I've been told by other patients they really just let anyone in there...)

my social workers and I are working on making sure I can find something else (not a clinic for now tho). hopefully, I can get stabilised with the different approach we've been looking into, so I can do the second clinic stay (at the one I've been to before) I've mentioned in my original post.

anyway... that's the update. I wish it was a happier/more optimistic one. but alas, maybe next time!

take care! <3
