Read this before using Care First Clinics

Care First Clinics publishes general health information for educational and editorial purposes. It is not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, emergency care, professional judgement or a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Care First Clinics is not a clinic and does not provide clinical services, appointments, prescriptions, tests, referrals, symptom assessment, patient monitoring or personalised medical recommendations.

Not a doctor-patient relationship

Use of this website does not create a doctor-patient, clinician-patient, pharmacist-patient, therapist-client, adviser-client or other professional relationship with Care First Clinics, its writers, editors, contributors, advertisers, affiliate partners or third-party providers.

No diagnosis or treatment

The website may discuss symptoms, conditions, treatments, medicines, procedures, self-care, prevention, screening, wellbeing, private healthcare, NHS services, products or services. This content is not a diagnosis and not a treatment plan. Always speak to an appropriately qualified professional for advice about your individual situation.

Emergencies and urgent symptoms

Do not use Care First Clinics in an emergency. Call 999 immediately if you believe there is a life-threatening emergency, such as severe chest pain, symptoms of stroke, severe breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness, severe bleeding, major injury, seizure, suspected sepsis, severe allergic reaction or any situation where life may be at risk.

Mental health crisis

If you or someone else may be at immediate risk of harm, call 999 or go to the nearest Accident & Emergency department. If you need urgent mental health support in England, you may also contact NHS 111 and select the mental health option where available, or contact local crisis services.

Medicines, supplements and devices

Articles may mention medicines, supplements, health products, devices, tests, procedures or treatments. Such references are general information only and are not endorsements or personalised recommendations. Medicines and health products can have risks, side effects, interactions, contraindications and suitability issues.

Accuracy and evidence

We aim to provide useful and responsible health information, but no editorial website can guarantee every item is complete, current or suitable for every reader. Health guidance changes as evidence, professional standards, regulation and product information evolve.

Individual circumstances matter

Health decisions depend on age, medical history, symptoms, medicines, allergies, pregnancy status, test results, family history, lifestyle, risk factors and clinical examination. General online information cannot take all factors into account.

Third-party content and links

Care First Clinics may link to third-party websites including NHS resources, charities, professional bodies, evidence publications, product retailers, clinics, pharmacies, private providers, affiliate merchants and advertisers. We do not control third-party content, claims, pricing, privacy practices, delivery or refunds.

Affiliate and commercial content

Care First Clinics may earn commission from some links. Commercial relationships do not make a product or service clinically appropriate. If you buy from a third-party merchant, your contract is with that merchant, which is responsible for product information, delivery, quality, returns, refunds, warranties and support.

No guarantee of outcomes

Health outcomes vary. Care First Clinics does not guarantee that any information, product, service, lifestyle change, treatment, provider or resource will achieve a particular result, prevent illness, cure a condition, improve symptoms, or be safe or appropriate for you.

Responsibility for decisions

You are responsible for how you use information from this website. If you act on general information without seeking appropriate professional advice, you do so at your own risk. If you have health concerns, contact a qualified healthcare professional.

Contact

For editorial corrections or concerns about health content, use the Contact page. Do not use contact features for urgent medical help, diagnosis, treatment, prescriptions or appointment requests.

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.
