There are occasions when patients seeing a doctor may require an intimate examination. This practice is committed to putting patients at ease whenever possible, and if you wish a chaperone to be present during your examination, please do not hesitate to ask the doctor.
It may not be possible for such a chaperone to be provided immediately and you may have to return for the examination to be carried out at a mutually convenient time. Trust is important in the relationship between General Practitioner and patient and we would, at all times, wish you to feel able to ask for a chaperone should you require it.
