Introduction

The Walk In Clinic (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates the website www.thewalkinclinic.org, our mobile app (if applicable), and related digital channels. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of patients, visitors, and users of our Services.

By using our website, app, or any of our services, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you disagree with any part of it, please do not continue using our Services.


1. Medical Information Disclaimer

1.1 Content on our website, app, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, etc.) is provided for general educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

1.2 We do not guarantee that all information on our platforms is complete, current, or error-free. You should not rely solely on this content to make health decisions.

1.3 In a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest hospital immediately – do not wait for an online response.

1.4 Using our website or app does not, by itself, create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship begins only once you book and attend a consultation with one of our clinicians.


2. Doctor–Patient Relationship

2.1 A formal doctor-patient relationship is established only when you make a direct appointment (in person or online) with a clinician through The Walk In Clinic.

2.2 Always consult your own GP or a qualified healthcare professional about symptoms, treatment, or medication. Do not delay seeking medical care because of something you read on our platforms.

2.3 Opinions expressed by individual clinicians on our platform are their own professional views and do not necessarily represent an official position of The Walk In Clinic.


3. No Endorsement of Third Parties

3.1 Any brand names, logos, or trademarks of third parties (including pharmaceutical or healthcare companies) that appear on our platforms remain the property of their owners. Their appearance does not imply endorsement by The Walk In Clinic unless explicitly stated.

3.2 We make no guarantees about the safety, suitability, or effectiveness of any medication, treatment, or product referenced on our site.


4. Information About Our Healthcare Providers

4.1 We take reasonable steps to keep information about our clinicians’ qualifications, specialties, and experience accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee it is always current.

4.2 Personal opinions expressed by our clinicians (medical or otherwise) are their own and do not reflect an official stance of The Walk In Clinic.


5. Third-Party Links

5.1 Our platforms may link to external websites for convenience. We do not review, control, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of those third-party sites.

5.2 Visiting external links is at your own discretion and risk.
