Building Trust and Protecting Your Practice:
Why You Need a Medical Disclaimer
Are you an expert in Health and Wellness seeking to safeguard your business and adhere to legal requirements?
A medical disclaimer is a statement that clearly explains the purpose and usage of health-related information on a public-facing website, blog, or other health-related public platform.
Not having a medical disclaimer can expose you to complications such as:
Legal Liability
You may be legally accountable for negative outcomes or damages caused by the information or advice provided, resulting in potential lawsuits, financial loss, and reputational damage.
Misinterpretation of Information
Users may misinterpret the information on your website or in your content as professional medical advice leading to improper self-diagnosis, treatment, or reliance on inaccurate information, potentially resulting in harm to individuals.
Lack of Clarity
A medical disclaimer establishes clear boundaries between your information and professional medical advice, ensuring users understand its limitations and applicability to their specific circumstances.
Regulatory Compliance
In some jurisdictions, including a medical disclaimer is a legal requirement for healthcare professionals or those providing health-related information. Failing to comply with these regulations can result in penalties or legal consequences.
So, what is a Medical Disclaimer “Excerpt”?
The Terms of Use document contains the FULL Medical Disclaimer. In contrast, a Medical Disclaimer Excerpt should be at the forefront of any public-facing health-related content such as presentations (slides), programs, webinars, social media, etc. and linked to the Terms of Use Disclaimer Agreement.
Safeguard your business and provide an extra layer of protection by emphasizing the educational nature of your public-facing content.

Introducing Sarah Harbottle:
A Lawyer and Naturopathic Doctor for Your Legal and Healthcare Needs
Who Am I? Good question. I am a Lawyer turned Naturopathic Doctor AND Lawyer. Pretty unique. This makes me your asset.
I'm Sarah Harbottle, a Lawyer with a prestigious degree from the University of British Columbia and a background in psychoneuroendocrinology. My career in Healthcare Law began with a focus on medical malpractice defence and later shifted to corporate commercial work within the healthcare industry.
Through my experience as an in-house lawyer for a prominent health organization in British Columbia, I gained valuable knowledge and insights that have contributed significantly to my expertise.
However, experiencing burnout from the demanding legal field compelled me to delve into naturopathic medicine for my well-being. This journey ultimately motivated me to pursue dual professions as a licensed Lawyer and naturopathic doctor.
In 2015, I founded Sarah Harbottle Law to provide dedicated support to professionals in the naturopathic medical field. At Life Integrative, my clinic, I combine my legal expertise with holistic care, navigating healthcare law complexities to ensure excellent patient care while maintaining legal compliance. I am passionate about the convergence of law and naturopathic medicine and committed to mentoring health and wellness professionals.
