At Godiva Group of Practice’s, all patients will routinely be offered a chaperone. It is a requirement that, when necessary, chaperones are provided to protect and safeguard both patients and clinicians during intimate examinations and or procedures.
All clinical staff may at some point be asked to act as a chaperone at this organisation. Therefore, it is essential that clinical personnel are fully trained and aware of their individual responsibilities when performing chaperone duties.
If you require a chaperone, please inform a member of staff to get one requested.
