Purpose: To contact patients currently waiting for a vasectomy with Oak Street Medical Practice (OSMP), to offer them choice to change to another provider.
 
Objective: To provide patients with a choice of providers and to reduce waiting list times for Elective Care to within acceptable limits.  NHSE Planning Guidance 2024/25 recommends that waiting times are improved in the community and long waits are reduced.
 
Method: The Protect NoW VST Team will contact these patients to offer a choice of providers and to then (if requested) arrange for onward referral to provider of their choice. This is also an opportunity to sanitise the waiting list as many patients may no longer wish to be on the list.
