These terms govern your use of peterdickinson.co.uk (the “site”) and the information services I make available through it. The site is owned and operated by Dr Peter Dickinson, Consultant Clinical Oncologist (GMC 6101671).
By using the site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
These terms cover the website only. They do not form the contract for clinical care. If you book a consultation with me, the terms governing that clinical contract will be provided separately at the time of booking.
The content on peterdickinson.co.uk, including information about cancer treatments, conditions, research and clinical approaches, is provided for general information purposes only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified clinician.
You should not act on information from the site, or delay seeking medical attention, on the basis of anything you read here.
If you have a medical concern, please:
If you are an existing patient with a clinical concern between appointments, contact my team directly using the number on your appointment letter.
I take care to make sure clinical information on the site is accurate and current. Each clinical page carries a “last reviewed” date. Cancer treatment evolves quickly, and I review the site at least every 12 months.
To the extent the law allows, I make no warranty or representation that the information on the site is complete, current, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose. Always discuss your specific situation with your treating clinician.
If you book a consultation with my practice, that creates a separate contract between you and me as your treating clinician. That contract is governed by:
Nothing in these website terms changes my professional or contractual duties to you as a patient.
Information on the site about consultation fees and treatment costs is indicative. The actual fee for your care depends on your specific situation and will be confirmed in writing before treatment starts.
If you are using private medical insurance, you are responsible for confirming with your insurer that:
If your insurer declines a claim, the unpaid amount becomes payable directly by you.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a consultation, please contact my team as early as possible. Cancellation terms are provided to you in your booking confirmation. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee.

The site contains links to peer-reviewed journals, regulatory bodies, professional colleges, charities and partner organisations such as Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, GenesisCare and Nova Healthcare.

The site is provided “as is”. To the extent the law allows:
This clause does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
How I handle your personal information is set out in my Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice. Both form part of these terms.
I welcome feedback. The feedback form on the site goes directly to my team, and I read every submission personally.
If you wish to raise a formal complaint about my clinical care or my service, the route depends on where you were treated:
Raising a concern will not affect your care in any way.
I may update these terms from time to time. The “last reviewed” date at the top tells you when the current version was published. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from your use of the site, except where you are a consumer resident in another part of the UK or the EU, in which case you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
