1. Who we are

2. Using our website
You may use this website for your own information and professional development. You must not misuse it, including by trying to gain unauthorised access to it or to members-only areas, introducing harmful code, or copying content for commercial use.
We aim to keep the website accurate and available, but we do not guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or free from errors. We may update or remove content at any time.
Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the content of websites we do not control.
3. Clinical and educational content
Content published by the society, including evidence summaries, position statements, toolkits, webinars and journal material, is educational information intended for registered healthcare professionals. It is not medical advice for any individual patient and does not replace your own clinical judgement. You remain responsible for the care you provide.
Members of the public should not rely on our content as a substitute for advice from their own doctor.
4. Intellectual property
The content of this website and of our events, member resources and publications belongs to the society or to the people who have licensed it to us. You may download or print material for your own professional use. You must not republish, sell or distribute it without our written permission. Content shared in members-only areas must not be shared outside the society.
5. Event bookings
This section applies when you book a place at an event run by the society.
Your booking. A booking is confirmed when we have received payment in full and sent you written confirmation by email. Places are limited by venue capacity and are allocated in the order bookings are received. Bookings are personal to the named delegate. You may transfer your place to another person at no charge by writing to us at least three working days before the event, giving the replacement delegate's name, email address and professional details.
Changes by us. If we cancel an event, we will refund your booking fee. If we materially change the date or venue, we will offer you a place on the new date or a refund. We may substitute speakers or amend the programme where necessary. We are not liable for travel, accommodation or other costs you incur in connection with attending.
CPD. Where an event offers a CPD certificate, it is issued subject to accreditation being confirmed. Accreditation is not guaranteed at the time of booking.
Conduct, photography and recording. We may decline admission to, or remove, anyone whose conduct is disruptive, unsafe or likely to bring the society into disrepute. Sessions may be photographed or recorded for the society's educational and promotional purposes. If you would prefer not to appear, tell us at booking or on the day.
6. Paid membership
This section applies when you become a paid member of the society. Friends of UKSML is a free community and is not covered by this section.
Eligibility. Paid membership is open to doctors with current registration with the General Medical Council (GMC). When you join, you must give us your GMC number, and we may check your registration against the GMC register at any time. You must tell us promptly if your registration lapses, is suspended, or has conditions placed on it. We may cancel the membership of anyone who is not, or is no longer, eligible.
Membership categories. The categories available and what each includes are set out on our membership page, and your fee is confirmed at checkout. The benefits of membership and the society's roadmap may develop over time, and we will tell members about any significant change.
Term and automatic renewal. Membership runs for one year from the date you join. It renews automatically each year at the rate you joined at, using the payment method you gave us, until you cancel. We will email you at least 30 days before each renewal date to remind you that your membership is about to renew and explain how to cancel.
Cancelling. You can cancel your membership at any time by emailing info@uksml.co.uk. Your membership will then continue until the end of the year you have paid for and will not renew.
Your login and members-only content. Your login is personal to you. You must not share it, or share members-only content outside the society.
Members Directory. Members may be listed in the society's Members Directory. You can ask us to change or remove your listing at any time.
Professional conduct. We expect members to act professionally and respectfully in the member community, at society events and in the journal, in line with GMC guidance on good medical practice. When you share cases, you must remove anything that could identify a patient and hold any consent you need. We may suspend or end the membership of anyone who seriously or repeatedly breaches these standards.
7. Your statutory rights
If you are buying as a consumer, you may have a legal right to cancel within 14 days under UK consumer law. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
8. Payments
Prices are shown at checkout. Payments are processed securely by our payment provider, and we do not store your full card details.
9. Your personal data
We use the information you give us, including your GMC number, to administer your booking or membership, confirm your eligibility, issue CPD credits, and contact you about the society. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and your rights under UK data protection law.
10. Our liability
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability to you in connection with a booking or membership is limited to the amount you paid for it.
11. Complaints
If something goes wrong, write to us at info@uksml.co.uk and we will respond within fourteen days. We would always rather resolve a complaint directly.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version published when you make a booking, join or renew applies to that booking or membership year. We will tell members about significant changes by email at least 30 days before they take effect.
13. Governing law
These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the UK or in Europe, you may also have the right to bring a claim in the courts where you live.
