This course is going to explore two key areas that are essential for all professionals working in healthcare environments.
Consent
Including gaining consent for treatment or care for a child, an adult and for someone who may not have the capacity to consent for them self.
Chaperoning
For those working in healthcare environments, chaperoning must be an available option. It is both important that all health professionals understand the purpose of a chaperone and that any individual that is asked to be a chaperone understands their responsibility. This course will cover:
- What is meant by the term chaperone
- What is an ‘intimate examination’
- Why chaperones need to be present
- The rights of the patient
- The chaperones roles and responsibilities
- Ensuring your organisation has policy and mechanisms to raise concern
