Eden Openly Editorial

Clinical Guides

Short, referenced guides for clinicians who aren’t specialists in trans care. Each guide has print sheets for the clinic or the ward, and a full web version behind them in which every clinical claim is cited.

What is a Clinical Guide?

A Clinical Guide turns the evidence into what a non-specialist needs at the point of care: what to ask, what to check, which drug to hold and when to refer. It is written for the encounters that happen outside a gender clinic, which is where most of a trans person’s healthcare takes place.

• Print sheets for the clinic or the ward, designed to be read in seconds.
• A full web version, with every clinical claim cited to a numbered reference.
• Our own wording, where no source states something, marked as Eden Openly advice.
• Tested against a bank of clinical questions and scenarios before release, and reviewed by specialists.

Editorial Principles

• Evidence before opinion.
• Say where the evidence is thin, and mark our own advice as ours.
• Protect patients’ privacy in what gets written down.
• Update the guide when the evidence or the guidance changes.
