VERY IMPORTANT: PURPOSE OF THE PLATFORM

The Platform is not a medical device

The Platform is not and must not be used as a medical device. The Platform provides information to help you to guide patients through management of their cancer and related symptoms for guidance purposes only and must not be used as a diagnostic, medical or therapeutic tool.

Any information on the Platform is designed as educational guidance and advice which reflects the clinical practices of the Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. It should not be taken as a recommendation for treatment of any particular person. It is your responsibility to ensure you are compliant with your duty to patients, the terms of your GPhC registration and any other training or professional obligations.

You must never represent the Platform as being a medical device, and never encourage anyone to ignore medical advice from a doctor or other healthcare professional because of something you have learned or seen using the Platform. If you are uncertain on how to advise about the health of any individual, you should inform that individual to consult with their doctor, hospital care team or other healthcare professionals.

The authors of any materials and content on the Platform have formulated the information available with reasonable efforts to be accurate and up to date, however this cannot be guaranteed.
