Chaperone Policy

Take A Peek 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.  

All patients are entitled to have a chaperone present for any baby scan or procedure where they consider one is required. The chaperone may be a family member or friend, at the patient request, but Take A Peek use formal chaperones if one is required, such as for an early dating scan.

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.

 

Autism-Friendly Care Policy

Our clinic is committed to providing compassionate, accessible and person-centred care for autistic patients attending pregnancy and pelvic ultrasound appointments. We recognise that every autistic person has different needs, and we will make reasonable adjustments wherever practicable while maintaining safe clinical practice.

​​

Patients will be offered the opportunity to tell us about any adjustments that would help before they attend.

Our booking process includes the option to request:

• extra appointment time

• a quieter appointment slot (where available)

• written information before the appointment

• a support person to attend

• reduced waiting times where possible

• communication preferences (spoken, written or both)

​

Knowing what to expect can significantly reduce anxiety.
