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.
Aims
- Clarifying definitions
- The concept of ‘intimacy’,
- Roles and responsibilities of the partners and the chaperone

- Risk areas in conducting intimate examinations
- Challenges to the gmcs ‘same sex chaperone’ guidance,
- The themes to be addressed in a practice chaperone policy
- Reporting concerns
- Providing a chaperoning policy
Who Should Attend?
- Primary Care managers
- Nurses and Healthcare assistants
- Receptionists who chaperone patients
- GPs who use chaperones

When I saw how long the online course was - I thought omg what can we be taught about chaperoning in such a long time - well I have had my eyes opened. It was just the right amount of time and not felt overwhelmed and the course had the perfect amount of content and detail, very well presented. (LB) 21.07.20
