- Things we cannot help with
- Sometimes we are asked to provide information or advice that we cannot help with, as we are not legally in a position to do so. This includes:
- Providing the names or contact details of a Christian doctor, nurse, midwife, psychiatrist or counselling services etc.
- Connecting you with a doctor to help with a medical negligence claim.
- Providing medical advice: we cannot give personal medical advice or prescriptions as we are not a healthcare provider.
- Helping people get a job in the NHS, a place in a UK medical or nursing school, or a clinical attachment at an NHS hospital in the UK.
