Terms of Use
Last updated: 19 August 2026
About these Terms
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of Care First Clinics. By using the website, you agree to these Terms. Care First Clinics is an independent editorial health information website and not a clinic, healthcare provider, appointment-booking platform, telemedicine service, pharmacy, insurer, medical device provider, emergency service or regulated medical practice.
No medical services
Care First Clinics does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment plans, prescriptions, clinical consultations, patient registration, appointment booking, healthcare triage, remote monitoring, emergency assistance, clinician-patient relationships or confirmation that a product or service is suitable. Nothing on the website substitutes for advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
Emergencies and urgent care
Do not use Care First Clinics for medical emergencies or urgent health decisions. If you believe there is a life-threatening emergency, call 999 immediately. If you are in England and need urgent medical advice that is not life-threatening, contact NHS 111 by phone or online.
Use of editorial content
Content is provided for general information and educational purposes. It may include guides, explainers, product discussions, condition overviews, lifestyle content, external resources and commentary. You may use content for personal, non-commercial reference, but must not rely on it as medical, legal, financial, professional or emergency advice.
Your responsibilities
You agree to use the website lawfully and respectfully, not gain unauthorised access, not introduce malware or harmful code, not harass or defame, not infringe intellectual property rights, not misrepresent Care First Clinics as a clinic or booking service, and not submit false, confidential or excessive information through contact features.
Contacting us
You may contact us about editorial issues, website errors, privacy questions, commercial enquiries or general feedback through the Contact page. Contact features are not clinical communication channels and must not be used for emergencies, symptoms requiring urgent assessment, treatment requests, prescriptions, referrals or appointment requests.
Accuracy and availability
We work to keep the website accurate and available, but do not guarantee that content will always be complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, error-free or suitable for personal circumstances. Important information should be verified with qualified professionals, official sources or relevant third-party providers.
External links and third-party content
The website may link to third-party websites including NHS pages, charities, professional bodies, evidence publications, product retailers, affiliate merchants, advertisers, clinics, pharmacies and information resources. External links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement or verification.
Affiliate links and commercial content
Some content may include affiliate links or commercial references. If you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase from a third-party merchant, Care First Clinics may receive a commission. Purchases are made directly with the merchant and commercial relationships should not influence medical decisions.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, content, structure, design, branding, text, graphics and layout are owned by or licensed to Care First Clinics or its providers. Reasonable extracts may be read, downloaded or printed for personal non-commercial use, but content must not be reproduced, scraped or commercially exploited without permission except where permitted by law.
User submissions and feedback
If you send feedback, suggestions, corrections or other materials, you confirm you have the right to do so and that the submission is not unlawful, defamatory, confidential, infringing or harmful. We may use, review, edit, publish or respond to submissions for editorial, administrative, legal or improvement purposes.
Prohibited reliance
You must not use Care First Clinics as the sole basis for deciding whether to start, stop or change medication, diagnosing a condition, delaying urgent care, choosing treatment without professional advice, assessing whether symptoms are serious, deciding whether a product is safe or replacing advice from qualified professionals.
Limitation of liability
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so. Subject to that, Care First Clinics is not responsible for losses arising from reliance on general editorial information as medical advice, failure to seek help, third-party websites or merchants, outdated information, technical failures or unauthorised use. Consumer statutory rights are not affected.
Changes to the website and Terms
We may update, suspend, withdraw or change any part of the website at any time. These Terms may also be updated, with the updated version posted on this page. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are directed primarily at users in the United Kingdom, with an editorial focus on England. Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, they are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes will be subject to the courts of England and Wales.

How this page should be read
This page is written for a general UK health information website and should be read alongside the other legal and editorial pages. It explains the website position in practical terms, but it does not create clinical services, professional advice, a seller relationship or a guarantee about third-party providers. If a question affects your rights, health, purchase, privacy choices or legal position, consider checking the relevant official source or speaking with an appropriately qualified adviser.
Future changes and feature changes
The website may change over time, including its content, technical features, analytics, affiliate links, forms or commercial arrangements. If a new feature changes how visitors use the website or how information is handled, this page should be reviewed and updated before visitors are asked to rely on it. The current page does not claim professional legal review, clinical governance, direct sales, patient registration or appointment management.
Visitor responsibilities
Visitors should use the website carefully, read policy pages together, avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information, and check third-party terms before acting on external content or merchant offers. General website information cannot account for every personal, medical, technical or legal circumstance, and it should not be used to delay urgent help or replace qualified professional advice.
