The Surgery prides itself in maintaining professional standards. For certain examinations during consultations an impartial observer (a “Chaperone”) will be required.
This impartial observer will be a member of staff who is familiar with the procedure and be available to reassure and raise any concerns on your behalf.
You are free to decline any examination or chose an alternative examiner or chaperone. You may also request a chaperone for any examination or consultation if one is not offered to you. The GP may not undertake an examination if a chaperone is declined.
The role of a Chaperone:
Be inspired by a variety different wellbeing tips and techniques to help you lead a positive and healthy life.
Activities, support and resources for adults and families, and for young people with special needs.
Read the latest rules and guidelines to help you stay safe during the Coronavirus pandemic.
An opportunity for local people to have a powerful voice on the health and social care services they use.
