All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they consider one is required. The chaperone may be a family member or friend, but on occasions a formal chaperone may be preferred.

If you think your problem will require an intimate examination during the consultation and you would like a chaperone for this please ask, at the time of booking an appointment, so that arrangements can be made and the appointment is not delayed in any way.  If advance notice is not given a chaperone may not available, so you will have to book a further appointment. 

The Healthcare Professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain consultations.
