If you require a referral to this service then please fill out the self referral form below.
You will then be referred for counselling and if you are suitable for this procedure an appointment for an operation will follow.
Vasectomy Counselling
All patients must have counselling prior to receiving an operation date. This is so important questions can be asked and documented and for you to have the opportunity to understand the procedure and know what to expect. After you have had counselling, you will have a “cooling off” period prior to your surgery date in which to make a decision as to whether you want to proceed with the vasectomy or not.
In addition to the counselling appointment please follow the two links below where you will find medical guidelines (NICE and FSRH – Faculty of Sexual & Reproductive Healthcare) which we believe are well written & reasonably understandable regarding the procedure:
- NICE: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/vasectomy-male-sterilisation/
- FSRH: https://www.fsrh.org/standards-and-guidance/documents/cec-ceu-guidance-sterilisation-cpd-sep-2014/

Cancellations and Do Not Attends
If you are unable to attend your operation date please do let us know as soon as possible (by using Health Co-Pilot or contacting 03300 536456) – we will do our best to rebook your date.
All patients will be offered a maximum of two appointment dates. If you are unable to attend either of these dates you will need to go back to your GP for a new referral. Patients who do not attend appointments and who fail to let us know will be removed from the waiting list and you will need to seek a new referral.
