Chaperone Policy
If you would like a chaperone present during your consultation, please advise the receptionist when booking your appointment or when checking in.
A chaperone is an impartial observer present during an intimate examination of a patient. He or she will usually be a health professional or a member of staff trained and familiar with the procedures involved in the examination of patients. The chaperone will usually be the same sex as the patient.
Chaperone's role
A chaperone is there for the patient. Their function is to:
- Reassure the patient if they experience distress
- Protect the patient’s dignity and confidentiality at all times
- Offer emotional support at an embarrassing or uncomfortable time
- Facilitate communication, especially if there is a language barrier.
