It’s important to us that you feel cared for and safe and that you trust us with your health.
We have strong links with hospital consultants throughout the areas we cover and also in London. Along with a team of allied health professionals who are all happy to home visit; we also have contacts such as physiotherapists, dieticians, occupational therapists and counsellors to name a few.
The Linbury Doctors Ltd is committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment where patients and staff can be confident that best practice is being followed at all times and the safety of everyone is of paramount importance.
This policy applies to all intimate examinations and procedures to visitors, patients, guests and other members of the public, and adheres to local and national guidance and policy –i.e.:-
‘NCGST Guidance on the role and effective use of chaperones in Primary and Community Care settings’.
The Linbury Doctors offer a visiting only service where the patients dedicated GP carries out all face to face consultations within the patient’s own home. The Terms and Conditions of membership clearly state:
4.12 a) For home visit services, we can provide a chaperone service for examinations upon your prior request. If you decline such chaperone service or we are unable to organise the service for any reason, we reserve the right to decline assessments that may be perceived to place our medical staff at risk. We do not therefore offer routine obstetric care or gynaecological examinations as part of our Service unless we have previously discussed such care with you, although we are happy to advise on further appropriate management.
All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any consultation, examination or procedure where they consider one is required. The chaperone may be a family member or friend, but on occasions a formal chaperone may be preferred.
Patients are advised to ask for a chaperone if required, at the time of booking an appointment, if possible, so that arrangements can be made and the appointment is not delayed in any way. The Healthcare Professional may also require a chaperone to be present for certain consultations.
All staff are aware of and have received appropriate information in relation to this Chaperone Policy.
All trained chaperones understand their role and responsibilities and are competent to perform that role.
There is no common definition of a chaperone and their role varies considerably depending on the needs of the patient, the healthcare professional and the examination being carried out.
Patients with Additional Needs
At The Linbury Doctors, we recognise that there may be patients who require additional support to access our services, and that these additional needs might be either visible or hidden. To facilitate this, we ask that you let our Administration Team know when you contact us. They will then contact your doctor whom will liaise with you directly to ensure your needs are met.
In terms of physical disabilities, all our clinical sites have wheelchair access and appropriate mobility support. We offer a hearing loop, and a sign language interpreter if required. We have the facility to translate documents into braille at the patient’s request.
For those patients with non-visible disabilities, we offer longer appointments at no further charge, as well as bespoke written summaries of the consultation plan. Follow-up questions are also permitted at any point.
For patients with more significant disabling conditions, The Linbury Doctors also allows for the use of advocates and we would advise any patients and their representatives that we would work closely with their NHS GP Practice moving forward. Our full disability policy is available upon request.
