Terms and Conditions
These terms explain the basis on which you may use this website and the limits of general medical information provided online.
About these terms
These terms apply to your use of the Mr Daniel Dowen website. By using the website, you agree to use it lawfully and in accordance with these terms.
These website terms are separate from any terms, consent documentation, hospital conditions, insurer requirements or financial arrangements that apply to an individual consultation or course of treatment.
Medical information and emergencies
The information on this website is provided for general patient education. It is not a substitute for an individual medical consultation, examination, diagnosis or treatment plan.
Do not use this website to diagnose yourself, change prescribed treatment or delay urgent medical assessment.
If you believe you have a medical emergency, use the appropriate NHS or emergency service rather than a website form or routine practice email.
Appointments, fees and treatment
Submitting an enquiry or booking request does not by itself create a doctor-patient relationship or guarantee an appointment, investigation or treatment.
Consultation fees may be published on this website, but investigation, hospital, anaesthetic and surgery costs can depend on the treatment required. Relevant costs and terms should be confirmed before proceeding.
Privately insured patients are responsible for checking referral, benefit, excess and authorisation requirements with their insurer.
Accuracy and availability of website content
We aim to keep website information accurate and useful, but medical guidance, fees, clinic arrangements and external services can change. We do not guarantee that every page will always be complete, current or error-free.
The website may be updated, suspended or withdrawn in whole or in part without notice where necessary.
External websites and third-party services
Links to hospitals, insurers, NHS services, professional profiles, review platforms and other third-party websites are provided for convenience or further information.
We are not responsible for the content, availability, privacy practices or terms of independent third-party websites.
Liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. Subject to that, we are not responsible for loss arising solely from reliance on general website information instead of obtaining appropriate individual professional advice.
We are not responsible for interruptions, technical failures or third-party systems outside our reasonable control.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, text, branding, design elements and original material on this website are protected by intellectual property law. You may view or print material for personal, non-commercial use.
You may not reproduce substantial parts of the website for commercial purposes without permission. Third-party logos, photography, review content and other material remain the property of their respective owners.
Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Courts with appropriate jurisdiction will determine any dispute arising from use of the website.
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the website after an update is subject to the latest version published here.
