Certain
investigations and treatments
require a Doctor to undertake
intimate examinations of a patient.
Summerhill Surgery offers a
chaperone service for these
situations.
You have the right
to request a chaperone at any such
examination. Please tell your Doctor
before the examination starts. Some
procedures automatically necessitate
a chaperone being present and your
Doctor will inform you of this at
the time. Your comfort, dignity and
privacy are our concern. Members of
staff are trained for such
eventualities so please do not feel
embarrassed or awkward.
