Page "Russell Reid" Paragraph 2

Britain's primary lobbying organization for transgendered and transsexual people, Press for Change, was quoted as saying that that Reid received support during the process from more than 150 patients as well as additional experts in the area.

Furthermore, as many as 462 of Dr. Reid's ex patients posted positive comments during and after his hearing on a blogspot In Support of Dr. Russell Reid, and still continue to leave positive feedback.

Ultimately, the enquiry found Reid guilty of Serious Professional Misconduct, mostly for failing to communicate fully with patients GPs ( A rule that it is reported many private doctors in the UK are unaware of ) and not documenting his reasons for departing from the HBIGDA Standards of Care guidelines sufficiently.

However, the panel " determined that it would be ... in the public interest as well as your own interests if you were to return to practice ..." and allowed him to return to practice, subject to some restrictions on his practice and hormone prescriptions for the next 12 months.
