Workshop Objective

Aligned to NHS England's “Improving chaperoning practice in the NHS” (2025), this interactive workshop is designed for clinical and non‑clinical staff who may act as chaperones in primary care. It supports practices to meet current NHS England, CQC and professional regulatory expectations, with a strong emphasis on patient dignity, staff protection, safeguarding and governance.

The session combines trainer‑led input, group discussion, case studies, knowledge checks and practical reflection, ensuring learning is relevant to real‑world general practice settings.
