Medical Disclaimer

AskMyGP (askmygp.com.au) provides general health information, calculators, and educational tools. The content on this website is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your doctor, GP, or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

Using AskMyGP does not create a doctor–patient relationship. While this site was built by a GP, the tools provide general guidance based on published clinical guidelines — they do not constitute personalised medical advice for your specific situation.

The information provided does not take into account your individual medical history, current medications, allergies, or other health conditions. Only your treating doctor, who knows your full medical history, can provide advice tailored to you.

The calculators and screening tools on AskMyGP (including nutrient intake calculators, mental health questionnaires, clinical scoring tools, and cost estimators) are based on published guidelines and validated instruments. However:

Results are estimates, not diagnoses. A screening score is not a diagnosis. A nutrient calculator shows general recommendations, not what your body specifically needs. A cost estimator provides indicative figures that may vary by location and provider.

Clinical tools are decision aids, not decision makers. Tools in the clinicians section (referral letter writer, consent forms, wound log, screening scores) are designed to support clinical workflow. They do not replace clinical judgement. The treating clinician remains responsible for all clinical decisions.

Guidelines change. Medical guidelines are updated periodically. While every effort is made to keep AskMyGP current, there may be a delay between guideline updates and tool updates. Always verify critical clinical information against the primary source.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 000 (Australia) or 111 (New Zealand) immediately. Do not use this website to seek emergency medical help.
