This is our CURRENT policy and was Last Revised on the 16/08/2016. For further information on our policies please Contact Us.
By using Push Doctor, including this Website (https://www.PushDoctor.co.uk) and our mobile and tablet applications (together, the “Platform”), you accept these terms and conditions in full, along with all other rules, policies and procedures that may be published by Push Doctor on the Platform or otherwise communicated to you from time to time by Push Doctor (together, the “Terms & Conditions”).
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, ACCEPT AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS YOU ARE NOT AUTHORISED TO ACCESS OR USE PUSH AND YOU SHOULD EXIT THE PLATFORM AND CANCEL ANY APPOINTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Push Doctor reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Platform at any time, without notice and without liability, if it reasonably determines you have breached these Terms and Conditions.
Push Doctor is NOT to be used in an EMERGENCY situation
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU OR THE PERSON YOU ARE ASSISTING IS IN AN URGENT OR EMERGENCY SITUATION YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY DIAL 999 OR SEEK ALTERNATIVE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES.
YOU SHOULD CALL 999 in a critical or life-threatening situation, such as if someone has:
The Platform is owned and operated by Push Dr Limited (“Push Doctor”, “Push Dr”, “PushDr”, “our”, “us”, “we”), a company registered in England (company number 08624572).
Push Doctor is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (“CQC”) and is registered: 1-1207461908. The CQC is the independent regulator of all health and social care in England. The CQC monitors, inspects and regulates all hospitals, care homes, home-care agencies, GP practices and dental practices.
Push Doctor enables individuals in the United Kingdom (“Customer”, “Customers”, “you”, “your”, “yourself”) to connect in real time, via streaming video, chat, instant messaging and picture messaging, to participating doctors (all of whom are registered with the UK General Medical Council: www.gmc-uk-org the “GMC”) (the “Practitioners”) via the Platform in order to gain qualified and professional medical advice and be provided with related administrative services including referrals and sick notes. If agreed with a Practitioner, and where supported by Push Doctor, in consultation on the Platform, Customers may also purchase private prescriptions for certain medication(s) (collectively the “Services” or a “Service”).
Push Doctor may vary charges for any Services at any time, and changes will be notified to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
You expressly understand, accept and agree that when using the Platform the Practitioners are independent medical professionals that are individually responsible for the medical advice they offer to you via the Platform.
By using the Platform you understand and accept that the Services are not the same those provided by the NHS or your NHS GP surgery (if you are registered with an NHS Surgery). Push Doctor is a connective Platform that enables Customers to consult with Practitioners on a private and self-pay basis from time to time. Push Doctor will automatically share your medical information with your NHS GP unless you opt out of this part of the Service; we automatically opt you in to comply with the requirements of the GMC. You will be presented with your options regarding medical record sharing before you start your first consultation on the Platform and the choice to share your medical records is entirely yours.
Push Doctor does not offer a prescription provision or fulfilment service. Prescriptions will only be issued by Practitioners under circumstances that are appropriate, legal, responsible and as the result of discussion and mutual agreement between you and the Practitioner.
Push Doctor will make all reasonable endeavours to connect you to Practitioners, subject to minimum specification requirements which are determined by Push Doctor from time to time:

INTERNET CONNECTION SPEEDS
To use Push Doctor you are required to have an active Internet connection with 1mbps of available bandwidth, for the best quality connection we recommend a minimum of 3mbps available bandwidth
Although you acknowledge that Push Doctor does not guarantee a connection can be made or maintained at any time. Push Doctor may deny or refuse you access to the Platform; suspend, change or update the Platform; prevent certain Practitioners from using the Platform; and/or otherwise alter the Platform it offers to Customers from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice, but at all times subject to Push Doctor’s legal obligations, which it takes very seriously, such as regarding the secure maintenance of medical records.
Consultation times are subject to change and are only made available to Customers at the sole discretion of Push Doctor. If you require medical advice and Push Doctor is inaccessible or there are no appointments available to suit you; you miss an appointment you have made or start a connection that fails; or attend an appointment that has been cancelled or when a Practitioner is not available, you understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to seek appropriate alternative medical advice from alternative service providers, which may include the NHS or your GP practice if you are registered with one.
Furthermore, Push Doctor and the Practitioners are not responsible for any legal prescriptions provided to you that legal UK Pharmacies refuse to dispense. You accept that it remains an individual Pharmacist’s right to refuse to fulfil any prescription and/or dispense medications when presented with a legal prescription. None of this affects your legal rights.
2. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
You accept and agree that any medical advice offered and/or diagnosis provided by a Practitioner is based on your recall and description of the symptoms affecting you and/or by reliance on personal health data that you authorise us to obtain/that you provide to us by way of uploading such information to the Platform. A very significant part of the medical advice/diagnosis you may receive is therefore based on the information that you supply. It is entirely your responsibility honestly to present information when questioned in as much detail as possible. The information’s accuracy is paramount.
You warrant without exception that any information you provide is honest, legitimate and an accurate representation of your situation as you see it. With regard to information you provide from other service providers or otherwise upload to the Platform, you warrant and confirm that such additional information is accurate, legally provided and has not been tampered with.
You understand and accept that you may choose to give access only to certain portions of your medical information, but that by doing so this may interfere with the care you receive from Practitioners and/or your care generally.
You understand and agree that you may NOT under any circumstances amend, alter or tamper with the contents of any documents created on the Platform and/or issued to you via the Platform.
At any time you may be notified that information is available for your review that is considered private and possibly time-sensitive, so you should consider ease of access when determining which email address you use for your Account.
You are obliged to advise us of the following as soon as reasonably possible:
3. GPs YOU MAY KNOW
It is not our intention to connect Customers with Practitioners who are also working at the NHS GP practice where the Customer may currently be registered. We will use some of the information that you have provided to create connection filters and blockers but in the unlikely event that you are connected with a Practitioner you know or recognise to be a GP working at an NHS practice at which you are registered, you accept and agree immediately to inform the Practitioner you know them and to ask them to “disrupt” your connection (see clause 30). The Practitioner is able to disrupt your connection to them and you will be given credits enabling you to use the funds you have committed to reconnect to another Practitioner as soon as possible by way of rejoining the queue in an on-demand session or booking an advance appointment.
4. SERVICES
CONSULTATIONS
We charge for consultations in 10-MINUTE BLOCKS, which we call Sessions. You understand and accept that you may only ever purchase a complete Session and not individual minutes and that using one (1) second of time in a Session is the same as using all of it, so you will be charged accordingly. You agree and accept that you will not be entitled to any rebate, refund or compensation as a result of your not using the full length of time available in a Session, nor shall you be due any rebate, refund or compensation of any kind if you fail to prevent the start of a new Session (as explained below) by exiting the video-surgery using the EXIT button provided. You accept that the EXIT button provided by Push Doctor on the Platform is clearly-placed, appropriately-signposted and understood by you to be used to EXIT and prevent charges when you so require.
A consultation is made up of single or multiple Sessions, as many as you authorise by choosing to maintain (i.e. not EXIT) your connection in one of the Platform’s video-surgeries with a Practitioner. You will be counted-in to the start of a consultation and also every subsequent Session extension start time. For Session extension start times, you will be counted-in on-screen for a period of 20 seconds, which you accept is a suitable/appropriate notification period allowing you to EXIT the consultation if you do not wish to authorise the next Session to start. Upon any count-in reaching zero you will have duly authorised the next Session to start and any and all relevant charges for such further Session(s) will be applied to your Account.
If you EXIT a consultation you accept this may prevent you from receiving some of the Services and you agree and understand that this is your choice therefore we are in no way liable if you choose to end the consultation prematurely.
Subject to availability, you can choose to book a number of Sessions in advance, which we refer to as an Appointment. After you have requested an Appointment you will be sent written confirmation of the Appointment in the form of an email; if you do not receive such confirmation within 24 hours of requesting your Appointment (or, if sooner, within 4 hours of the start of your intended Appointment) please Contact Us to check we have received your booking request.
Push Doctor will advise you by email as soon as possible if it has to amend, change or cancel any Session that you have booked.
PRESCRIPTIONS:
You understand and accept there is no guarantee whatsoever that you will be issued or provided with a prescription for any medication and acknowledge that the issuing of any prescription is at the sole discretion of the consulting Practitioner, subject to the limitations applied by Push Doctor’s clerical team from time to time].
You will be charged the current Costs for a prescription, which may contain no more than the maximum (7) number of medical items. If you agree with your Practitioner you need more than the maximum number of medical items and the Practitioner is willing to write you multiple prescriptions you will be required to purchase multiple prescriptions up to the number you require.
The prescriptions available via Push Doctor are private prescriptions only (not NHS prescriptions). You accept that private prescriptions are fulfilled at a charge, unique to the fulfilling pharmacy, which is not under the control of Push Doctor or the Practitioners. It is your choice as to whether you have any prescription fulfilled and at what cost. Any reference to a ‘prescription’ shall be deemed to apply to repeat prescriptions where applicable.
Any prescription that you receive via the Push Doctor platform is only valid for use at legal UK pharmacies. You understand and agree that any prescriptions you acquire via the Platform are solely for your personal use. Furthermore, you agree carefully to read all information provided to you and to follow the instructions provided by the Practitioner(s), on the prescription(s) itself (the label applied by the pharmacy) or otherwise, prior to taking any of the prescribed medicines. You also hereby agree to contact a Practitioner, another doctor or a pharmacist if you have any questions or do not fully understand the reasons you have been prescribed any medication or the instructions related to the medication.
Please be aware that Push Doctor’s clerical team has restricted some of the medicines that Practitioners may prescribe on the Platform. There are certain medicines that will not be issued by Practitioners in any circumstances, which include:
You accept and agree that Push Doctor charges administration fees for every prescription issued via the Platform, as explained in Costs. You understand and agree that you must pay this fee prior to a prescription being created by a Practitioner and that once delivered to you this fee is non-refundable.
LETTERS (including but not limited to Referral Letters):
You will be charged the current fee (see Costs) for a Letter (including but not limited to referral letters), which may be no longer than six (6) A4 letter single-sided pages in length and subject to the spacing and layout requirements of Push Doctor at its sole discretion. If you agree with your Practitioner you need a longer letter and the Practitioner is willing to write this longer letter, you will be required to pay charges in respect of the equivalent number of standard letters.
SICK NOTES
You will be charged the current Price for a sick note, which may be no longer than six (6) A4 Letter single-sided pages in length and subject to the spacing and layout requirements of Push Doctor at its sole discretion. If you agree with your Practitioner you need a longer sick note and the Practitioner is willing to write this longer sick note, you will be required to pay charges in respect of the equivalent number of standard sick notes.
PURCHASE OF PRESCRIPTIONS, LETTERS AND SICK NOTES:
You may only purchase a prescription, letter or sick note during a live Session with a Practitioner. You will be asked, by way of a system message, to accept or decline the purchase, which will include an on-screen cost for the prescription, letter or sick note. If you accept by way of clicking/tapping the ACCEPT button we will take this as authorisation and apply the charges to your Account, to be settled at the closure of the Consultation. If you DECLINE by clicking/tapping the DECLINE button presented you will NOT be able to purchase that prescription, letter or sick note.
If you click/tap ACCEPT and your card is declined you will not be able to purchase the prescription, letter or sick note; if you wish to make the purchase using another payment method, you accept that you will be required to provide new payment details in your Account following the consultation in question and then arrange a new consultation to discuss your situation with a Practitioner. You accept that there is NO guarantee or warranty that your next Practitioner will agree to provide the prescription, letter or sick note your previous Practitioner had proposed.
CONTENTS OF PRESCRIPTIONS, LETTERS AND SICK NOTES:
You accept without question that each Practitioner, at its sole discretion, creates prescriptions, letters and sick notes via the Platform based on their own professional judgement and legal obligations and that the content of such items is individual, based on information you provide to the Practitioner. You must not tamper with the content of any such items. You acknowledge that there is no guarantee or warranty by Push Doctor that such items will contain the content you desire(d), hope(d) for, expect(ed), were informed of, understood or believed they would contain.
DELIVERY OF PRESCRIPTIONS, LETTERS AND SICK NOTES:
If you lose a prescription, letter or sick note a copy may be issued, subject to the prescribing Practitioner agreeing to re-issue the document. There is no guarantee that a Practitioner will agree to re-issue any document. In the event that the Practitioner re-issues your lost prescription, letter or sick note you will be charged in accordance with the current Cost for a “Copy”. In order to request a prescription, letter or sick note previously issued via the Platform to be re-issued please go to My Account or contact Customer Services.
You may choose to receive your prescription, letter or sick note using the delivery services described below, which are charged at the relevant Costs at the time of selection and purchase. Once your prescription, letter or sick note has been created, it will be deemed to have been received by you within the timeframes explained below.
If you purchase a prescription, letter or sick note, we will deliver it to the address (email or postal address) that you have provided in your Account (My Account). You accept that it is entirely your responsibility to ensure that the contact details you provide are accurate and up-to-date.
DELIVERY BY EMAIL
The cost of delivering your prescription, letter or sick note, once only, by email is included in the relevant administration fee, as shown in our Costs.
You understand and agree that documents sent by email are deemed to have been sent to you once the Platform marks the email containing the document as “correct” and “sent”, including time and date stamping that prescription for Push Doctor’s records. Such records shall be accepted by you, without question, as proof that we have sent the document and fulfilled our obligation to provide the same.
You accept that Push Doctor is not responsible for the spam, junk or mail receipt prevention tactics of your email service provider/host, which may for whatever reason outside of Push Doctor’s control filter emails from us away from your inbox. In such instances you understand and accept that you must take such access issues up with your email provider and not Push Doctor.
Push Doctor enables access to documents delivered via email using a pass-code, for data security reasons. This pass-code will be messaged to the mobile phone number you have provided in My Account. Such pass-code(s) are issued by Push Doctor and only valid (in the sole opinion of Push Doctor) pass-codes will grant access to a document. You accept that Push Doctor’s pass-codes expire 30 days after their delivery and you will no longer be granted access to that document unless you request a new code and Push Doctor, at its discretion, agrees to provide such a code. You agree that Push Doctor may charge reasonable administration fees for providing new pass-codes.
If you do not Contact Us and inform us of an issue, we will deem documents by email to have been received by you within twenty-four (24) hours of us marking them as sent.
You must ensure that you forward without attempt to or actual alternation the email you receive with the prescription attached to the pharmacy that you wish to have the medication fulfilled at. In this case you are acting as the intermediary between us and the Pharmacy for an electronic private prescription. The pharmacy will also need the pass-code you have been sent to access and open your prescription. Once we have issued your prescription to you please follow the instructions in the accompanying email.
DELIVERY BY FIRST CLASS POST
The cost of delivering your document to a UK mainland address, once only, by Royal Mail first class post is included in the relevant administration fee you pay, as shown in our Costs from time to time.
Your document will be posted, subject to its time of creation:
We send your documents as letters using Royal Mail first class post (or equivalent) and we cannot and do not guarantee a delivery time or expected delivery date. If you have not received your document within five (5) working days of it being shown as sent in your Account you should Contact Us.
If you do not Contact Us and inform us of an issue, we will deem documents sent by first class post to have been received by you within forty-eight (48) hours of us marking them as sent.
5. COSTS
If for any reason you are unable to authorise payment for any Service(s) in advance, you acknowledge that neither Push Doctor nor the Practitioner shall be obliged to provide such Services.
Any and all fees and charges incurred on an Account are the sole responsibility of the Account holder (being the individual whose details are held under the Account) and MUST be pre-authorised prior to your receiving any Services and settled immediately after the Services have been provided. Consultations may be curtailed or Services suspended if at any time there are insufficient funds in a Customer’s Account.
You expressly hereby authorise Push Doctor to pre-authorise or charge any debit and/or credit card in your Account with any applicable charges as stated in these Terms and Conditions (as updated from time to time) or as otherwise agreed in writing with you.

You understand that the Services may not be provided or consultations cancelled if your billing information is inaccurate, invalid, or without funds.
You agree that any unpaid balance on your Account shall become due within seven (7) days of notifying you of any such balance, after which date the balance shall bear daily interest at the rate of 3% per annum above HSBC’s lending rate from time to time. The reasonable costs of collection, including any Court costs and reasonable legal costs, may be added as principal amounts to any such balance. If you think any charge is wrong please Contact Us promptly to let us know and we will not charge you interest on any disputed amounts until we have resolved the issue.
Push Doctor does not accept payment by insurers on your behalf, unless expressly agreed in writing by Push Doctor.
PLEASE NOTE that failure by your credit or banking provider to enable Push Doctor to pre-authorise or clear payments is your sole responsibility and Push Doctor will still be owed the fees and charges incurred by you personally, which Push Doctor may take formal action to recover.

You can purchase Additional Sessions to extend the Initial Session, which will last no longer than ten (10) minutes each, at a cost of £20 (GBP) per additional Session.

Any information provided as part of a consultation (which may be made up of video, chat messages, pictures exchanges or snapped) becomes part of your EMR when attached to the records by your Practitioner. If you want a particular detail added to your EMR it is your responsibility to express this view to your Practitioner whilst in consultation. For additional information regarding use of your EMR, please see our Privacy Policy.

31. PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP AND FAIR USAGE POLICY
Premium membership costs £20 per month.
To ensure that everyone has fast access to a UK GP on our network, we operate this Fair Usage Policy for our premium members who get some amazing benefits.
Included in your annual membership plan are all video-consultation sessions on our platform for the period you have a valid membership only. Video-consultation sessions are ten (10) minutes in length when purchased and usage of one (1) minute is the same as usage of ten (10) minutes of a session without exception.
Your premium membership includes the following items, which are available in consultation on our platform only:
You may have up to one (1) of each of these items per consultation only, please note that copies are not included.
Please note that you hereby waive your rights afforded you with regard to distance selling, and the 14-day cooling off period no longer applies because you are being provided with instant services.
CANCELLING YOUR PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP
You can cancel your premium membership at any time.
We allocate an amount of consultation time to you each month and if you choose to cancel your membership in any given month we will calculate the pro-rata number of consultations that you have been allocated (rounding up) and match this to the number that you have used. We know that the average person in the UK visits a GP for advice six times a year and therefore we believe fair usage of our service is eight consultations per annum. We allocate eight consultations to you for the twelve-month period and therefore we calculate that each month your allocated use is 66.66% of the annually allotted number of consultations.
Upon the day you cancel, we will calculate the difference between your allotted amount of consultation time and your consultation usage. If you have used less than your allocated consultation time then you will only be billed up until your cancellation date. If you have used more than your allocated pro-rata consultation time then you will be billed for your usage pro-rata, with 100% usage being the total value of your 12 month subscription. Please note that missed consultations contribute to usage time and will be counted.
Our Fair Usage Policy is designed to prevent fraud, abuse of memberships and to ensure that everyone who wishes to use our service is able to access a UK doctor as fast as possible and therefore the total number of consultation sessions including missed appointments is restricted to eight per annum. Once your consultation sessions breach eight per annum, we reserve the right to charge you our standard consultation charges on the Push Doctor Go rates as published on our website www.PushDoctor.co.uk. We also reserve the right to cancel your membership at our sole discretion should you use our services for any unlawful, prohibited or unusual activities, including but not limited to commercial use of our services.
Any actions contrary to the Fair Usage Policy or our Terms and Conditions may lead to your membership being suspended or our relationship with you being terminated. Where we consider it reasonable, we may provide you with a notice of improper behavior before suspending, terminating or offering an alternative membership, as we deem appropriate.
If you would like to cancel your membership, please visit our helpful FAQs where instructions on cancellation can be found, as well as links to other helpful topics.
