The ASPC were requested by the CoSRH (formally known as the FSRH) for our opinion on Non-Doctors performing vasectomies.
The Vasectomy leads discussed the psostion, taking reference to the discussion and vote taken at the ASPC 2-25 Conference which was almost unanimous on the decision that the ASPC should not be training any Non-Doctors in any procedure.
In summary:
The ASPC believe vasectomy should remain a doctor-led procedure.
The barriers to service provision in the UK are financial and
structural, not workforce-related.The focus on non-doctor provision is therefore a distraction from
the real issues: commissioning failures, flawed data, and
under-investment.
