This practice is committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment. We will always respect your privacy, dignity and your religious and cultural beliefs.
All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present during any consultation, examination or procedure. Clinicians at this practice will advise patients that a chaperone is necessary during any intimate examination; this is to safeguard both the clinician and you, the patient.
Family and Friends are not permitted to act as chaperones as they do not have the knowledge required, nor do they have the necessary training.
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.
