Our Services

Chaperones
Aspley Medical Centre prides itself in maintaining professional standards. For cetain examinations during consultations an impartial observer (a Chaperone) will/may be required.
This impartial observer will be a staff member who has been trained in ‘Chaperoning’ and is familiar with the procedure and will be available to reassure you and raise concerns on your behalf. If you request a chaperone and thay are unavailable at the time of your consultation then your examination may be re-scheduled for another time.

Please ask at reception if you would like a chaperone present.
