All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present during any consultation, examination or procedure. Clinicians at this practice will advise patients a chaperone is necessary during any intimate examination; this is to safeguard both the clinician and you, the patient.
Where a chaperone is not available, the clinician will ask you to make an appointment and request the presence of a chaperone at the time of booking.
We only use trained staff as chaperones.
Family and friends are not permitted to act as chaperones as they do not have the knowledge required nor have they had the necessary training.

If you have any questions, please speak to the reception team who will direct you to an appropriate member of the team.
