An ongoing project, [**Integrating Care for Trans Adults** ](http://business-school.open.ac.uk/research/projects/icta?ref=scenemag.co.uk)(ICTA), in partnership with the **Open University** and the **LGBT Foundation**, is reaching out to groups within the transgender, including non-binary, and wider LGBTQ+ community, asking them to complete [an initial survey](http://www.thissurvey.com/ICTAWebsite?ref=scenemag.co.uk).

The ICTA project is looking at how trans, including non-binary, people have experienced healthcare in the UK – at any point in time. They want to know how to best integrate the care they receive from **Gender Identity Services** and the rest of the **NHS**. They will be gathering these personal experiences through the survey and then through further one to one (online) interviews with participants.

**Benjamin (Benji) Taylor**, Community Development Worker for the ICTA project, said: *‘With this information we are going to work alongside the NHS to train and inform health care workers on how best to care for trans, including non-binary, people. We are also going to be creating a resource for trans people to use to best help them navigate the healthcare world, specifically looking at experiences with Gender Identity Services.*

*‘We believe that this is an incredibly important area of research and that we have a really good opportunity to work with the community to create change for them to see in their lifetime.*

*‘Our team is led by trans, including non-binary, people – like myself – who truly understand the gravity of the task we are undertaking. We have been granted a special remit by the National Institute for Health Research to change the current way trans people are treated so it is a project we all hold close to our hearts.’*
