Consent To Treatment

2.1. Limitations of Remote Diagnosis

• – Our clinicians do not physically examine you — all decisions are based solely on the images and information you provide.
• – Certain skin conditions may look similar in photos, and visual assessments may have diagnostic limitations.
• – If photos are unclear, cropped, filtered, poorly lit, or taken too early or late in the course of the condition, the diagnosis may be inaccurate or missed.

2.2. Conditions Not Suitable for Remote Assessment

• – Adviskin does not assess or treat:
• – Emergencies (e.g. spreading infections, suspected sepsis)
• – Rapidly changing lesions suggestive of melanoma
• – Skin conditions in newborns <6 months
• – Acute allergic reactions or systemic symptoms
• – If any of these are suspected, Adviskin will redirect you to in-person NHS or emergency services immediately.

2.3. Duty to Escalate

• – Our doctors follow robust clinical safety netting and will recommend urgent escalation if there is any risk of harm.
• – However, you remain responsible for seeking emergency care if symptoms worsen or you are advised to do so.

2.4. Clinical Outcome Disclaimer

• – Adviskin Ltd and its clinicians are not liable for adverse outcomes, including delayed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, or progression of disease, when:
• – Your information or images were incomplete, unclear, or inaccurate
• – You delayed seeking in-person care after being advised
• – You declined referral or chose not to follow medical recommendations
• – Our service is not intended to replace face-to-face dermatology or general medical care when required.
