Medical disclaimer

General information

The information on this website is for general education. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation for you, or a substitute for advice from a qualified medical professional.

Your treatment decisions

Discuss questions about your health with your treating clinicians. Do not delay seeking medical advice or stop, replace, or change treatment because of something you read or watch on this website.

Whether a treatment is suitable depends on an individual clinical assessment. A description on this site does not mean a treatment is appropriate or available for every person.

Evidence and individual outcomes

Evidence and clinical practice can change. Ask your clinician about the evidence, uncertainties, potential benefits, and risks relevant to a proposed treatment.

Patient stories describe individual experiences. They do not predict your outcome or establish how effective a treatment will be for other patients. No particular result is guaranteed.

Enquiries and emergencies

Reading this site or sending a website enquiry does not establish a doctor-patient relationship. General enquiry channels are not emergency services.

If you need urgent medical help, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest appropriate emergency department.

Questions about content

If something is unclear or appears inaccurate, contact the team and identify the page. For advice about your own care, speak with your treating clinician.
