Description

The service will provide an option of either a one stage or two stage vasectomy procedures carried out under local anaesthetic, using the "no scalpel" technique, in community settings.

The health professional will promote the two stage process for vasectomy as this ensures the patient has a two week cooling off period before having permanent sterilisation.

The service clinics may be provided between core hours (09.00 - 17.00) but where possible there should also be out of hours provision in order to meet patient need and provide patient choice.

The service will offer advice to other primary and secondary healthcare professionals as necessary.

The service will be commissioned using the Any Qualified Provider (AQP) process. In securing services under the AQP process assurance of competence, quality and safety standards are required. Any provider will be eligible to join the qualified provider list subject to them demonstrating competency against specified criteria. Qualified providers will be expected to deliver the service under the NHS Standard Contract. As a qualified provider there will be no levels of guaranteed activity and payment would be made based on actual provision.
