Chaperoning is a vital aspect of healthcare practice that safeguards patient dignity, comfort, and safety during intimate or sensitive examinations. This course is designed for healthcare professionals across the UK, including doctors, nurses, and allied health workers, to develop a thorough understanding of effective chaperoning practices.
Aligned with the latest guidelines from regulatory bodies such as the General Medical Council (GMC), Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the course addresses the ethical, legal, and professional responsibilities of chaperoning. Participants will explore how to offer and conduct chaperoning, handle patient consent or refusal, and document chaperoning encounters appropriately.
Additionally, the course focuses on safeguarding vulnerable populations and managing sensitive situations, fostering trust and confidence in patient care. By completing this training, healthcare professionals will be equipped to uphold best practices, ensuring compliance with legal standards and enhancing patient-centred care.
