Recommendation 15
15
Mandate NHS practitioners to stay updated and address regional disparities in reproductive health treatments.
Conclusion
The NHS must take steps to ensure healthcare practitioners keep up to date with the full range of diagnostic and treatment options available for reproductive health conditions. Those options, as well as waiting times and potential outcomes of surgical procedures and non-invasive alternatives, should be communicated to patients as a matter of course to allow informed, shared decision making. The NHS should identify and address any regional disparities in the availability of particular treatments and support. (Paragraph 66) 74 Pain of investigation
