CHAPERONE TRAINING FOR HEALTH CARE ASSISTANTS AND OTHERS

Chaperone Training for Health Care Assistants and others

This programme has been developed for Health care assistants (HCAs) and others providing a chaperone service for consultations, examinations and investigations as a safeguard for all parties.
The training has been built on the recommendations of public inquiries, such as the Clifford Ayling Inquiry, Richard Neale Inquiry, Shipman Inquiry, guidance from professional bodies and research findings of the needs and attitudes of patients

The interactive session has been designed to meet the specific needs of those acting as chaperones in a primary care setting using relevant scenarios. Training provides underpinning knowledge and understanding of relevance to the NHS KSF Core Dimensions 1,3,4,5 & 6 at level 1 and Specific dimension HWB3
A workbook and tool for the practical assessment of competence in the work place provides evidence of the achievement of competence
