1.    Please provide a list of all gender options you list on patient forms.

For patient registration, NHS Shetland uses the national patient registration form, which only gives male and female as options, as these are used for the patient’s Community Health Index (CHI) number:

Other forms in NHS Shetland follow this same pattern.
