The level of training that non-clinicians have been given in order to provide effective chaperoning is highly variable, ranging frequently from no training at all, to others having formal training programmes.  The MDU, in August 2010 restated the need for chaperones to have had some form of ‘formal training’.  Advice from both the BMA and MDU is not always black and white, and this course provides a clear strategy for practices to adopt. It works best when attended by chaperones, nurses, a GP or two and a manager: the whole practice team potentially!  This course provides clarity for clinicians, chaperones and managers.

‘Primary Care Chaperoning: a comprehensive approach’ aims to provide a wide-ranging training programme to those who undertake chaperoning, and those asking for a chaperone.
