Chaperones

All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any appointment, examination or procedure where they feel one is required.

You may wish to have a chaperone present, i.e. a member of our clinical team, though at busy times the chaperone may be a member of our support team. Wherever possible, please make this request at the time of booking your appointment, so that we can make the necessary arrangements.  

Whilst we will always do our best to provide a chaperone if requested, this may necessitate us rescheduling your appointment for a time when a chaperone can be present. Your healthcare professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain appointments, in accordance with our chaperone policy.
