This episode focuses on the patient experience and doctor–patient communication, providing GPs with a clear understanding of how to deliver safe and supportive care.

  • Common misconceptions about vasectomy and how to address them to put your patients at ease.
  • How to build trust and manage patient expectations, including communication strategies for helping patients feel safe and informed.
  • A typical day in a vasectomy clinic, including what the procedure workflow looks like, who is involved, and the structure of a typical work day.
  • Dr Selvarajan's philosophies on patient care and how to make the vasectomy experience positive from the patient’s perspective.
