  • If you think you have a medical emergency, you should call your doctor or the emergency services immediately.
  • We need certain information from you in order to provide services (see section C)
  • We can’t take responsibility for laws outside the UK and governing access to our services. Some of our services are specifically designed for use in the UK and if you use them elsewhere you should check in your country or region that it is appropriate and lawful for you to do so (see sections F and I).
  • Our services are not suitable for managing medical emergencies (see section B).
  • Our services are not suitable for unrestricted use by persons under 16 (see section F).

A) ABOUT US

About us and our services

We provide clinical services via our clinic(s), video and audio consultations with our Practitioners (“Clinical Services”), and information through our website. Our Services include healthcare consultations and information services. Our Clinical Services are provided using qualified medical professionals and health coaches (“Practitioners”) based in the UK.

B) OUR SERVICES

What our services cover, and what you need to check yourself when you use our services

  • We provide our services using our clinic(s), video consultation platform (Doxy), messenger app (Telegram), website, and communication methods such as email. Our services include:
    • remote video and voice consultations with our Practitioners;
    • the ability to ask questions of our healthcare professionals;
    • where appropriate through use of our Clinical Services, our practitioners may suggest lifestyle changes and supplements, advise on deprescribing medicines which should be done in collaboration with your GP but not on prescribing further medicines or the need for operations (see section I);
    • access to healthcare records we hold; and
    • access to other digital healthcare tools that provide health and lifestyle information.
  • Some medical conditions are not suitable for clinic or remote consultations via our Clinical Services, and you should always seek advice from another medical practitioner if you are unsure about whether you have been able to explain or communicate your medical needs through our Clinical Services, or if you have any concerns about the advice you receive from us or if it is different from other advice you have received. All services are currently only provided in English.
  • You should not use our services in an emergency, or if you have a condition that you know will require a physical examination.
  • Except for our Clinical Services where we provide lifestyle medical advice, all our other services provide healthcare information and not medical advice, diagnosis and/or treatment. They provide information to you based on information entered. They do not diagnose your own health condition or make treatment recommendations for you. Our information services are not a substitute for a doctor or other healthcare professional. You shouldn’t take or stop taking any action (such as taking medicines) based on information from our information services. We make no warranties in relation to the output of our information services.
  • We strongly encourage you to discuss any information you receive from us with your GP or usual medical practitioner.
  • We provide our Clinical Services using reasonable skill and care from appropriately qualified, and experienced, staff and Practitioners. If you think that our services have not met this standard, please contact us as soon as possible. We will fix or re-perform, without charge, any services we agree do not meet this standard.
  • Practitioners are doctors registered with the General Medical Council and qualified health coaches (registration numbers available on request), who have committed to provide services in accordance with clinical best practice and applicable professional standards.
  • Practitioners will not prescribe medicines but may suggest suitable medications and/or supplements for over the counter purchase or prescription via your GP.
  • While many patients will see huge benefits with lifestyle changes, we cannot guarantee any particular outcomes for clients. We accept no liability for any claims as to the potential success of lifestyle changes in curing or treating disease.

C) WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SERVICES

We can’t provide our services without certain information and other things from you

  • We can only provide the services in accordance with these terms if you provide us with the information we need in order to help you. You must be careful that:

    • if you have any concerns about the information we provide you or any information in the apps or the website, you seek further medical advice;
    • you follow any instructions you are given by Practitioners;
    • you follow any instructions regarding the use of any medicines or healthcare products we recommend (including in respect of use-by dates);
