Terms and Conditions for Scotlink Ltd (trading as Harley Psychiatrists)
Introduction
These Standard Terms and Conditions written on this webpage shall manage your use of our website and service, Harley Psychiatrists accessible at https://harleypsychiatrists.co.uk.
These Terms will be applied fully and affect to your use of this Website and service. By using this Website or Harley Psychiatrists service, you agreed to accept all terms and conditions written in here. You must not use this Website or service if you disagree with any of these Standard Terms and Conditions.
- Due to the COVID-19 situation, all consultations are taking place by video meeting (unless explicitly agreed otherwise in advance)
- If a script is written following a psychiatric appointment, this will usually be posted out to you. Postal services are currently severely affected by the COVID-19 situation, and although we try our best to prevent delays, many scripts are delayed by the postal service/courier. It is possible a script will take around 2 weeks to arrive.
- Appointment confirmation letters take on average two weeks to prepare, and are only provided as standard for initial assessments. Where applicable, more comprehensive reports may be produced with a separate fee (contact the admin team prior to the appointment to request this).
- If you require a report for court, legal purposes or any other medico-legal service, please be aware that standard assessments are neither suitable nor sufficient. If you do require such a report or any other legal services, this is offered as a separate service by specifically designated practitioners and cannot be combined with a standard assessment. Standard appointment confirmation letters are rarely, if ever, acceptable by courts or for any other legal purposes.
- Psychiatrists and other practitioners are not normally able to discuss questions (for example, regarding treatment dosage) outside of appointments. To speak with your doctor after the consultation, contact the admin team who will help to book a short follow-up appointment. Any unplanned/unscheduled correspondence between the clinic and any third-parties (for example: family / friends / other medical practitioners / solicitors / employers / etc) will be automatically billed at a standard hourly rate of £385 (subject to change, accurate as of April 2020), with minimum increments of 1-hour for each action.
- A standard 48-hour cancellation/rescheduling policy applies. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled within 48 hours will incur the full fee.
- A diagnosis cannot always be established in a single appointment, and treatment plans can vary.
- The quoted appointment length is not an exact guarantee of face-to-face time with the doctor. For example, a 1-hour appointment typically involves around 45 minutes of face-to-face time, with the rest used by the doctor for essential administration related to the appointment, including: consideration of issues raised, preparation of script or treatment plan, etc.
