By using our website, submitting a booking, or checking the consent box on our appointment form, you agree to the terms below.

1. Appointments & Bookings

Appointment requests submitted online are not confirmed until our team contacts you to verify your preferred date and time. We reserve the right to suggest alternative slots based on availability.

2. Consent to Treatment

No treatment will be carried out without your informed consent. Before any procedure, you will be given clear information about the treatment, its benefits, risks, and alternatives, and asked to confirm your agreement, in line with General Medical Council and CQC guidance on informed consent.
