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.

Or you may prefer a formal chaperone to be present, i.e. a trained member of staff.
If you wish to have a chaperone present, please tell the healthcare professional or notify reception in advance.

Your healthcare professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain consultations.
