Chaperone Policy

You are very welcome to bring a friend or relative to your consultation if you wish. They may help if English is not your first language, if you have difficulty expressing your needs clearly to the doctor or nurse, or if you have memory problems.

In addition, for intimate examinations, you will be offered the choice of having another professional clinician present at the examination. This is called chaperoning.

If we can't allocate a chaperone when you wish one to be there, then we can reschedule your examination to another time.
