CP2 Should the chaperone be medically qualified?

A chaperone does not have to be medically qualified. A member of staff (such as a scan assistant) following appropriate training is a suitable chaperone in a Window to the Womb or firstScan environment.

Due to the sensitivity of an Obstetric ultrasound clinic, family, friends or partners of the client are not suitable chaperones due to confidentiality and possible coercion.

It is important to note that a chaperone must be someone with nothing to gain by misrepresenting the facts.
