We will always respect your privacy, dignity, and your religious and cultural beliefs — particularly when intimate examinations are being carried out.

Intimate examinations will only ever be performed with your express agreement. You will always be offered a chaperone to attend the examination if you wish.

You may request a chaperone:

  • when making your appointment
  • on arrival at the surgery — please let the receptionist know
  • at any time during the consultation

If you have any questions about our chaperone policy, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.
