PROFESSIONAL PARTICIPATION TERMS

1. Registration and scope
Applicants must identify the council or statutory regulator applicable to their profession and provide accurate registration details, qualifications and permitted scopes of service. Do not present a claimed qualification as independently verified until DrKTMed has recorded the relevant evidence check. Clinical services may be offered only where authorised by law and professional rules.

2. Free listing and optional services
An approved professional listing may be shown in the free directory. It does not automatically activate DrKTMed virtual practice technology, commit the professional to availability, or enter the professional into consultancy representation. Each additional service requires its own deliberate choice and applicable terms.

3. Care obligations
The treating professional maintains independent clinical judgment, informed consent, record-keeping, appropriate referrals, confidentiality and patient safety obligations. A technology platform does not replace the professional's duty of care. Avoid misleading claims, testimonials or advertisements contrary to applicable council rules.

4. Evidence and updates
Provide requested registration and qualification evidence using authorised secure upload channels. Notify DrKTMed promptly of expiry, restrictions, investigation outcomes affecting permitted practice, address or business-contact changes. A verification decision may be reviewed or corrected on documented grounds.

5. Data, patients and referrals
Access patient information only when assigned or otherwise authorised under the applicable care or referral workflow. Do not transfer sensitive records to unrelated parties or contact patients for an unrelated purpose. Preserve required historical clinical records and corrections, even if a profile is hidden or a service relationship ends.

6. Payments and professional representation
An independent practice sets its own care fees. Paid booking and consultation software requires a separate activation and commercial agreement. Consultancy representation requires its own opt-in and does not guarantee placement or remuneration. No placement fee is charged to the represented healthcare professional under the currently displayed programme statement.

7. Suspension and complaints
DrKTMed may restrict or remove directory or software access on evidence-based regulatory, confidentiality, security or contractual grounds, with a review route where feasible. See the published Complaints Procedure. Mandatory professional and statutory obligations continue independently of platform access.
