Mullion & Constantine Group Practice

MULLION AND CONSTANTINE GROUP PRACTICE CHAPERONE POLICY

The Practice is committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment where patients and staff can be confident that best practice is being followed at all times and the safety of everyone is of paramount importance.

All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination and procedure where they feel one is required.  This chaperone may be a family member or a friend.  On occasion you may prefer a formal chaperone to be present i.e. a trained member of staff.

Whenever possible we would ask you to make this request at the time of booking appointments so arrangements can be made and your appointment is not delayed in any way.  Where this is not possible we will endeavour to provide a formal chaperone at the time of request.  However, occasionally it may be necessary to re-schedule your appointment.

Your healthcare professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain consultations in accordance with our chaperone policy.
