You can request an impartial adult called a ‘chaperone’ to attend your appointment for emotional support. Chaperones usually attend intimate appointments, such as breast or genital examinations, but you can request a chaperone for any appointment.
Contact the Support team on 0330 808 2217 or email gpathand@nhs.net to request a chaperone or any other support you need for your appointment.
