A GP or another healthcare professional can refer you directly to one of the GDCs.
The websites of the clinics listed on this page also have useful information for you to think about before you see a GP.

NHS gender dysphoria pilot services
The NHS is running pilot gender clinics for adults across the country. A pilot service is a new NHS service that is tested with a small number of people to see if it works well before it's offered more widely.
These services are delivered by healthcare professionals with specialist skills and are based in community and sexual health services.
NHS England is assessing how useful these pilot services are.
