Reliance on information posted
Commentary and other materials, including blogs, posted on our site are not intended to amount to information or advice on which reliance should be placed.

Our site is primarily intended for health professionals who require access to the information on it for their professional or educational work.
Where any commentary or other material (including videos) posted on our site is based upon an opinion, you should be aware that other professionals in the field may have a different opinion.

Accordingly you must satisfy yourself as to suitability and appropriateness of any information obtained through our site and you must make your own independent judgement in respect of the course of action that you take regarding your patients as any action that you take in respect of your patients is your responsibility and not the responsibility of VC.
