Towcester Medical Centre is committed to providing a safe, respectful, and comfortable environment for all patients.
You are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination, or procedure. This is someone who can support you, help maintain your privacy, and ensure you feel safe.
Our trained staff can act as chaperones, and you can also ask to have a friend or family member with you.
We have a zero-tolerance policy for any abusive, threatening, or inappropriate behaviour. This includes physical, verbal, or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature.
If at any point during an examination you feel uncomfortable, please speak up. You can request a pause or stop to the procedure at any time.
In some cases, clinicians may require a chaperone to be present. If you decline the use of a chaperone in these instances, the consultation may need to be postponed or booked with another clinician.
