You are very welcome to bring a trusted friend or family member to your consultation. This can be especially helpful if English is not your first language or if you feel unsure about clearly communicating your concerns to the doctor or nurse.
For intimate examinations, you will be offered the option of having another professional clinician present with you. This is known as having a chaperone.
If we are unable to provide a chaperone at your requested time, we can reschedule your examination for a later appointment when a chaperone is available.
