Chaperoning Training in Primary Care

Chaperoning Training in Primary Care is ideal for non-clinical staff such as GP receptionists, who may need to act as a chaperone.

In today’s healthcare landscape, trust and transparency are essential. Chaperoning is not only a procedural formality in healthcare, but also a vital safeguarding measure for both patients and clinicians. In primary care, where the doctor–patient relationship is built on trust and continuity, chaperoning training ensures that the healthcare professional upholds the trust through professional and sensitive practice.

Chaperoning training in primary care isn’t just a “tick-box” exercise — it’s an essential component of safe, ethical, and patient-centred care. It helps maintain trust, protects everyone involved, and ensures that a healthcare professional can carry out an examination with the utmost respect and professionalism.

By investing in chaperoning training, practices show a full commitment to patient safety, staff confidence, and high-quality care.
