Policy
EduCareToons operates in line with a clear set of principles and guidelines. As the organization is run by practicing medical doctors, many of the principles mirror those set out by the GMC, MDU and BMA.
- All of EduCareToons’ health promotion advice is evidence-based. Information will only be approved for publishing online, once the founders are satisfied it is from a trustworthy, evidence-based source. (e.g. NICE/CKS, UpToDate, PubMed etc).
- EduCareToons’ health promotion is for information and education purposes only. It is not to be used as a substitute for a personalised clinical assessment and tailored medical advice from your doctor. If you are worried about any clinical signs or symptoms then please consult your registered doctor for a formal assessment.
- EduCareToons do not offer patient consultations, so will not respond to any personal messages about your clinical issues. Once again, please consult your registered doctor for a formal assessment.
- EduCareToons will not promote any medical or pharmaceutical goods/service because of a prior arranged contract or payment. Such a conflict of interests will diminish public trust in this service. Any medical treatment recommendations made, will be based solely on the doctors’ years of clinical experience.
- Medical doctors are not permitted to blur the boundaries between social and professional relationships, so EduCareToons have opted against providing a direct contact number/email. Any video requests or feedback can be made as comments under our social media content. Our Shop and Courses function independently, so each have their own communication policy.
