tyle=”padding-left: 40px”>It is the latest controversy around the clinic, which was set up in 2015 by Helen Webberley, 54, a doctor from south Wales, and her husband Michael, 57, a former gastroenterologist. It is able to defy NHS guidelines because it is private.
Michael Webberley was struck off in 2022 for “wide-ranging failings” in prescribing hormone treatments to patients as young as nine without proper assessments. One teenager was prescribed testosterone without any consultation of medical records. They took their own life a few months later.
A Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel found there had been a “catalogue of failings” in relation to his care of the seven patients between February 2017 and June 2019.
None of this is mentioned on GenderGP’s website, in which he describes himself as “a highly experienced and respected consultant physician of 23 years’ standing.”
Helen Webberley is the public face of GenderGP. She was found to have committed serious misconduct by an MPTS panel in 2022.
