The Clinical Advisory Network for Sex and Gender, First Do No Harm, on 23 March, was a great success.

It was CAN-SG’s most ambitious project to date – the first conference of its kind in the UK!

CAN-SG hosted First Do No Harm, a conference dedicated to critical perspectives on sex and gender in healthcare on the 23rd March 2024.

Other speakers included….

Dr Anna Hutchinson, child psychologist

Dr Az Hakeem, adult psychiatrist and group analyst

Dr Margaret McCartney, GP, writer and broadcaster, and researcher on evidence-based medicine

Professor Susan Bewley, retired obstetrician, expert in women’s health and evidence-based medicine

Stella O’Malley, psychotherapist, author and public speaker

The feedback from the conference has been amazing and many people said we need more opportunities to meet and discuss in depth the issues raised in the conference - so we're already planning our next conference! We want to continue our series of informative and interactive webinars. And, inspired by the ideas that came up in the conference, we want to do even more.

So we are continuing the GoFundMe appeal. If you support the work of CAN-SG please donate to enable us to carrry out our plans for the future.

We're a group of UK & Ireland based clinicians calling for greater understanding of the effects of sex and gender in healthcare. We campaign for clearer dialogue, better data collection, rigorous science and improved treatment options for gender dysphoria.
