Chaperones

There are occasions when patients need to be assessed by a GP or Nurse which might involve intimate examinations.

Swan Medical Group are 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.

There may be occasions when it will not be possible for such a chaperone to be provided immediately, in which case you might have to return for the examination to be carried out at a mutually convenient time.

Trust is important in the relationship between clinician and patient, and we would, at all times, wish you to feel able to ask for a chaperone, should you require it.
