Chaperones

Bennetts End Surgery is committed to providing a comfortable environment where safety is of the utmost importance and where patients and staff can be confident that best practice is being followed at all times.

Chaperones are routinely offered when an intimate examination is required but all patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they feel the presence of a chaperone to be necessary.

In accordance with our chaperone policy, our healthcare professionals may also require that a chaperone be present for certain consultations.

Please be aware that, whilst the Surgery will endeavour to provide a chaperone at the time of request, it may, occasionally, be necessary to reschedule the appointment.

All staff members acting as chaperones have completed NHS-approved Chaperone training.
