Patient Notification
Chaperone Policy
This organisation is committed to providing a safe, comfortable
environment where patients and staff can be confident that best
practice is being followed at all times and the safety of everyone
is of paramount importance.
All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any
consultation, examination or procedure where they feel one is
required. This chaperone may be a family member or friend. On
occasions you may prefer a formal chaperone to be present, i.e. a
trained member of staff.
Wherever possible we would ask you to make this request at the time
of booking the appointment so that arrangements can be made and your
appointment is not delayed in any way. Where this is not possible we
will endeavour to provide a formal chaperone at the time of request.
However occasionally it may be necessary to reschedule your
appointment.
Your healthcare professional may also require a chaperone to be
present for certain consultations in accordance with our chaperone
policy.
If you would like to see a copy of our Chaperone Policy or have any
questions or comments regarding this, please contact the
Practice
Manager. |
