Executive summary
The Scottish Differences in Sex Development National Managed Clinical Network (NMCN) was approved to continue as a NMCN for a further three years following a National Specialist Services Committee (NSSC) review in 2016.
With a re-energised work plan SDSD has led and delivered a number of improvements in quality and access to care.This includes the design and publication of a Neonatal pathway for the referral of newborns diagnosed with a DSD.. Looking forward, an adolescent referral pathway for girls is under development.
Improved patient engagement has been achieved through development of a communication and engagement strategy, facilitation of a patient and family event, completion of a series of patient interviews and creation of a new look website. In response to feedback from service users the network name was also changed from ‘Disorders’ to ‘Differences’ in sex development..
With a focus on quality improvement, SDSD has developed a robust data collection plan to take the network forward. This utilises the ongoing Scottish Audit of Atypical Genitalia (SAAG), newly developed clinic questionnaire and an international DSD registry administered by the office for rare conditions in Glasgow. The network is also supporting participation in a survey to inform the standardisation of DSD guidelines by the British Society of Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (BSPED).
The network has continued to promote the education of multidisciplinary clinicians with an annual symposium featuring a wide range of topical presentations and work is underway to develop on line learning tools and information resources for front line neonatal clinicians encountering suspected SDSD cases. In the year ahead SDSD is supporting delivery of an education event focusing on a wide range of rare conditions in neonates in 2017.
Through its achievements in 2016/17 and work planned for the coming year SDSD is well placed to achieve its long term objectives and improve levels of care for those living in Scotland with a DSD.

Introduction
SDSD (formerly the Scottish Genital Anomalies Network, (SGAN)), was established in 2005 to improve support for any individual born with a difference in sex development (DSD) in Scotland. Sex assignment is usually performed immediately after birth. However, in some situations where the child is born with atypical genitalia due to a difference of sex development (DSD), assignment may be delayed or the child may undergo sex reassignment within a few days of birth. Whilst atypical genitalia are not uncommon and may occur in 1 in 300 births (1), delayed sex assignment is felt to be rarer. It is estimated that 1 in 4000 live births may present with genitalia that is so atypical that a decision on the assignment of sex may be impossible at birth. In 2016 the incidence of atypical genitalia requiring specialist input within the first month of birth, in term newborns in Scotland was 1 in 3480. (2)
Network membership is made up of a multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals who provide care to children and adults with a DSD who are born with an anomaly of the genitalia. The SDSD Network is focused on providing equitable care to all those living in Scotland, born with a DSD.
1. Aim/ Purpose/ Mission Statement of network
The SDSD Network has a remit to support achievement of equity of care across Scotland. The objectives for the Network are:
To support provision of high quality care to children, adolescents and adults with differences in sex development in Scotland
To be patient centred and support provision of seamless care between organisations and professional groups
To set standards of care and to audit the care provided
To engage with and provide opportunities for service users to provide feedback on care expectations and delivery
2. Report against Workplan April 2016 – March 2017
2016-01 Develop a Neonatal Integrated Referral Pathway to aid front line medical professionals who encounter cases of newborn babies with suspected DSD
Work on this pathway is complete, with the final draft of the pathway endorsed by SDSD and related networks including SPEG and regional Neonatal Networks. The network determined that it was unfeasible to design a generic SDSD care pathway due to the diverse range of conditions associated with DSD. Therefore agreement was reached to develop a referral pathway to ensure that all clinicians have access to consistent information. The pathway is designed to support peripheral clinicians who may encounter a case of DSD, possibly for the only time in their career. It specifies what initial tests should be carried out, who should be involved and how to provide effective support and explanations to parents in the first days by employing some key and consistent messages.
The way parents and families are communicated with in the first days is linked closely to long term satisfaction with the service. This is demonstrated by the below responses to the Scottish Audit of Atypical Genitalia (SAAG)2016 where satisfaction is polarised at either end of the satisfaction scale, although rated highly by most respondents.

Figure 2. Scottish Audit of Atypical Genitalia 2016 (M. Rodie 2017)
The Neonatal Integrated Referral Pathway is designed to augment detailed clinical referral pathways within individual NHS Boards. The NIRP incorporated views from key stakeholders including Paediatric Endocrine (SPEG) and regional Neonatal Networks and was endorsed by the SDSD Steering Group, The pathway was published on the SDSD website in April 2017 and will also be issued direct to all stakeholders. It was presented at the SDSD Annual Educational
6
Symposium and will feature as a regular agenda item in the monthly neonatal teleconference lecture series as a means of assessing its effectiveness and monitoring its use. .
2016-02 Develop a Communication and Engagement Strategy ensuring all stakeholders are identified and represented within SDSD Membership
This strategy was drafted in mid 2016. The steering group membership has expanded following a review of geographical and specialist reach; new midwifery, neonatal and adult patient representatives have been invited to join, reflecting the current focus of the work programme. Different methods of communication have also been utilised to reflect the range and needs of various audiences. The new SDSD website has been launched, targeted at both service users and healthcare professionals. The network has shared information through hard copy flyers to advertise patient events in all clinical centres, through contact with members of support groups on twitter, facebook and email and through face to face interviews conducted with parents and patients at multi disciplinary clinics in Glasgow. The Network Lead Clinician Dr Miriam Deeny has also participated in a short film produced by the LGBTI charity Pink Saltire; highlighting the area of intersex in Scotland which has reached a wide range of stakeholders and helped to promote awareness of SDSD. (3)
2016-03 Develop a new SDSD website which will reflect stakeholder needs and contain reliable information and support materials.
The refreshed SDSD website has a new look and feel. Developed in-house, it is designed to appeal to all users and captures the diversity and range of those affected by DSD. The website hosts a number of resources; patient information leaflets; programmes for education events; links to external resources and support sites and information about upcoming events

2016-04 Develop meaningful patient and family engagement.
SDSD has in the past tried to capture patient and family feedback using leaflets, questionnaires and an online forum, with limited success. The network is now conducting one to one interviews with patients and their families. A semi structured interview template has been designed with open questions intended to engage patients and parents and obtain honest feedback on the services

provided (Appendix 1). To date, eight interviews have been held at four clinics over a nine month period in Glasgow. The sample is too small to draw conclusions on common themes however, each interview provides valuable insight into the experience of individual patients and families. These have been used to improve services:
Interview A Adolescent (F) and parent were interviewed and indicated the path to diagnosis and treatment had been difficult and inefficient with a lack of understanding at primary care level of condition and correct referral route. The patient had also felt pressured into psychology appointments before she was ready and the parent was clearly distressed and frustrated at being unable to provide her daughter with answers. Following this interview the network looked at the way Clinical Psychology is offered and whether there should be flexibility and a different approach to framing the benefits of psychology input. Interview B Parents of an infant (M) were interviewed and indicated the care received had been excellent and were confident the clinicians had a genuine care for patient’s wellbeing. They raised possible improvements in the way information is communicated. They were given conflicting information about the number of surgeries their child would require and any alternative options. They also lacked a key contact when post operative issues arose necessitating a hospital admission. This case highlighted the need for clear communication and as such the network has sought to identify a key contact for each centre to ensure cases can be escalated swiftly. This list of link clinicians can be found in the Neonatal Referral Pathway. Interview C Teenager (M) and parent were interviewed and indicated they felt the clinicians were supportive and the patient was not left to manage alone; with reassurance in the form of regular appointments. Improvement was felt to be required in the information available to the patient who, as he grew up, had more questions concerning long term outcomes which his parents were unable to answer. Patient was told he ‘might’ need surgery but this had not been confirmed and the patient’s GP did not have sufficient knowledge to provide any meaningful answers. The patient and parent indicated that better information on specific conditions and somewhere to voice questions would be beneficial. This case highlighted a gap in the approach to transition for patients with DSD from the paediatric environment of parental decision making to the patient having greater autonomy and questions regarding condition and treatment. Katie Clayton presented the findings of these patient interviews at the SDSD Annual Symposium in February 2017 to highlight key areas for SDSD clinicians. An adult patient with MRKH was also invited to speak about her experience which was incredibly well received. A result of this more focused patient and family engagement has been the change of Network name from ‘Disorders’ to ‘Differences’ in Sex Development to more accurately describe the range of conditions associated with DSD.

2016-05 Improve Patient Experience by reducing the need for multiple visits to the clinic
The Multidisciplinary clinics continue in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, with evidence of positive impact obtained through patient feedback. The network is also developing a tool to improve understanding of issues and concerns for patients and their families when attending the clinic and to help them to consider what they want to get out of their appointment. The tool is based on one used with good effect for oncology patients. The SDSD version of this clinic checklist was produced by Clinical Psychologist Dr Rebecca Crawford and will be launched from July 2017.
2016-06 Provide Educational Opportunities for stakeholders to improve overall service
The 12th SDSD annual symposium was held at COSLA Edinburgh in February 2017, bringing a range of DSD clinicians together to share learning and case studies. The event was attended by 26 delegates from a range of NHS Boards and specialities. Presentations included SDSD Neonatal Pathway, updates and advances in genetic testing, SAAG 2016 update, patient experience, clinical MDT cases, and surgical techniques. 94% of attendees rated the event as very good and valuable feedback was obtained to enable improvement and forward planning for the 2018 Symposium.
3. Looking Forward
3.1 Education
In September 2017 ‘Early Management of Rare Conditions in the Neonate day’ education
event will be held in Glasgow covering clinicians from a number of networks and disciplines
including DSD
There are plans to produce an e-learning module for midwives and neonatal nurses to
educate them on how best to support parents of babies born with DSD in the first days
3.2 Stakeholder Engagement
An adolescent referral pathway specifically for girls is under development and due for
completion by August 2017
3.3 Patient and parent involvement
An SDSD Girls’ Day is scheduled for 13th May focusing on women and families affected by
Mayer Rokitansky Kuster- Hauser syndrome (MRKH), Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
(CAH) and Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS)
The network has sought to develop further patient information leaflets for specific male DSD
conditions and plan for a patient event focused on males
An MRKH information leaflet is under development for girls due for completion in mid 2017
3.4 Continuous Quality Improvement
A robust data plan has been created for the network which focuses on multiple sources of
data. These include the Scottish Audit of Atypical Genitalia, information on clinic numbers
and attendance, number of DSD related surgeries undertaken across Scotland and
adoption of the I-DSD register which has been developed for international use and will be
utilised by clinicians from SDSD across Scotland. Results from these sources will be
presented in mid 2017.
