1. Accuracy

Our Practice internet site is intended primarily to provide information about our Practice and Services.  We have taken care to ensure that all information is provided is accurate and valid.

However, The Practice accepts no responsibility for use of the information provided. The advice for patients is as comprehensive and accurate as possible, but it can only be of a general nature and should not be used as a substitute for a consultation with a medical professional.

2. Medical Information on the Web

The Internet can be a useful resource for researching medical conditions.  It also has inherent weaknesses that you should be aware of.  If you use the Internet for medical research or information, please be aware of the following points:

• Always look for a balanced view – do not rely on advice from one site and seek a balanced viewpoint.
•             Remember that anyone can publish anything on the Internet. Make sure that the authors’ names and their qualifications are included – anonymous information may not be sourced accurately.
•            Be aware that advertising might influence the site contents – check for commercial sponsorship or for advertising which might influence the information on the site.
•             Check that the website is updated regularly.
•             Be cautious of online diagnoses or consultations.
•             Check the Websites Privacy and Confidentiality Policy.
•             Beware that Website information or advice sourced from outside the UK might describe treatments not available in the UK.
