Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: 6 November 2026

Important. This book is an educational orientation guide for qualified doctors and senior medical students. It does not replace your hospital’s guidelines, policies or formulary, the advice of your supervisors, or your own clinical judgement. Practice varies between hospitals, health services and regions, and guidance changes. Always check local protocols, and check any medicine, dose and route against your local formulary before prescribing or giving it. If in doubt, ask a senior colleague.

The content was clinically reviewed at the date shown and is checked at least every 12 months. Errors can still occur. Please report them to [email protected].

The case scenarios in this book are fictional composites. No hospital, health service, college, university or regulator has endorsed this book.

To the extent permitted by law, Get Started Medicine and the editor accept no liability for loss or harm arising from use of this book. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes rights or liability that cannot be excluded by law, including under the Australian Consumer Law and UK consumer law.
