  2. By seeking our services, you agree to the processing of personal data to enable us to carry out work on your behalf. We will not disclose personal data to any third party without your express consent, unless in a medical emergency where it may be deemed in your best interest. In such cases, we stringently adhere to published General Medical Council guidance on the use of personal data.
  3. All clinical records are fully secure and stored on secure private servers conforming to industry standards. For further information, please ask to see our privacy policy.

9. Medications Dispensed

  1. Any prescriptions given will have to be taken to the pharmacy of your choice and dispensed on a private fee-paying basis. You understand that the cost of the private prescription is not influenced in any way by us or our Services, and the cost of the medicine is unique to the fulfilling pharmacy. Furthermore, we and the Doctors are not responsible for the dispensing or cost of any medication. The dispensing of the medication remains the responsibility of the individual pharmacist.
  2. Our Service is not a prescription fulfilment service. Only after a consultation is booked will a medication be prescribed by mutual agreement reached between you and the Doctor, under circumstances that are appropriate, legal, and responsible. The final issuing of a prescription is at the sole discretion of the Doctor.
  3. You understand, accept, and agree that any prescription given to you is solely for personal use. If you lose a prescription, a copy may be reissued by the Doctor and may be subject to an additional cost. The Doctor has the right to refuse to issue a copy of the prescription should it be deemed inappropriate. You must keep any medicines securely and not allow others (especially children) to use them.

10. Further Investigations

  1. In order to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan, it may be necessary for the Doctor to advise further investigations. You understand that any investigation initiated by the Doctor will be on a private and fee-paying basis. An investigation may be a blood test, urine test, swab, X-ray, or ultrasound. For blood tests, urine analysis, and swabs, the Doctor will require payment upfront before collecting the specimen. Any imaging, such as X-rays and ultrasounds, will be paid directly to the private provider performing the imaging, as outlined to you by your Doctor. Once the investigation is performed, it is solely your responsibility to follow up the result with the Doctor at a mutually convenient time using an appropriate and secure form of communication, such as during a follow-up appointment or over the phone.
  2. You are not obliged to pay for any further investigation; however, by not performing an investigation that is advised by a Doctor, you agree to hold us and the Doctor completely free of liability under any circumstance arising from the initial consultation.

11. Further Treatment

  1. You understand that a Doctor may refer you to a specialist on a private fee-paying basis. If you have private health insurance, this may be covered under your policy. It is your responsibility to check with your private insurance provider whether the cost of further referral and investigation is covered under your policy. If you do not have private insurance, you can still be referred to a specialist on a private self-pay basis only. You will be solely responsible for arranging your private appointment with any specialist for further treatment.
  2. You are not obliged to pay or use health insurance, but you understand and accept that if a specialist referral is advised and you do not want to seek private further care, you agree to hold us and the Doctor completely free of any liability under all circumstances related to your initial consultation.
  3. In some circumstances, the Doctor will advise follow-up appointments with themselves to monitor your response to treatment or convey the results of an investigation. You are not obliged to have this follow-up; however, by not doing so, you hold us and the Doctor completely free of liability for any issues arising from the initial consultation.

12. Limitation of Liability

  1. The clinic shall not be held liable for any damages or losses, whether personal or business, incurred as a result of using our services. This applies both in Pakistan and abroad.
