5.1.3.

5.1.4. If you have any issues such as side effects or any questions related to the treatment we prescribed, our pharmacists will provide you with follow-up medical advice.
5.2 HOW THE SERVICES OPERATE
5.2.1. Registration
When you first visit our Website, you will have the option to first register or to immediately select one of our Services. If you decide to immediately start using our Services you will need to register before submitting your medical questionnaire to a pharmacist.
5.2.2. Questionnaire
Why a questionnaire? It’s the same as going to your GP’s practice for a consultation. Our pharmacists need to know about your condition, the medication you’re taking, your allergies and anything else that will help them to assess whether your preferred treatment is safe for you.
Our questionnaires are all built by our pharmacists in line with best medical practice, and they’re tailored to the specific Services that we offer.
5.2.3. Consultation
Our Services are either (i) one-step journeys or (ii) two-step journeys.
5.2.4. One-step journeys
Under the one-step journey, you will need to carry out the following actions in order for the Services to be available to you:
Once you have submitted a questionnaire, our pharmacists aim to respond to you within 24 hours on weekdays, however we cannot guarantee that you will receive a response within this timeframe and it may take several days for such a response to be received.
We will email or text you (if applicable) a confirmation that you’ve successfully registered with us and that our pharmacists are reviewing your questionnaire and attachments.
We will then notify you by email or text if remote medical treatment is suitable for you and, if so, our pharmacists may offer you a remote treatment.
5.2.5. Two-step journeys
Two-step journeys are required when our pharmacists need you to send in pictures or other information for them to decide (a) whether you can be treated remotely and (b) suggest medication if suitable.
Under the two-step journey, you will need to carry out the following actions in order for the Services to be available to you:
5.2.6. For your safety, you must:
5.2.7. Professional codes of conduct of healthcare professionals and legal restrictions may limit the number and frequency of any item we are permitted to supply to you. As such, we cannot supply quantities exceeding the relevant permitted maximum. We will only charge you for those medicine(s) we do supply. We reserve the right to reject any order.
6.1. You can either have the treatment or goods delivered to an address in the UK or collect it from a Gilbride Pharmacy.
6.2 Unless we give you notice of the contrary, if you select the delivery of your treatment by courier, any medicines we prescribe will be dispensed and supplied by us at Gilbride Pharmacy, Gilbride Pharmacy, 2232 Paisley Road West G52 3SJ, registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) with number 1042467.
All medications we offer are fully licensed within the UK. Some medications we prescribe for conditions, or circumstances that are outside of the license, also known as ‘off-label’. Prescribing ‘off-label’ is common practice by healthcare professionals to ensure a medication can safely benefit as many patients as possible. We only offer these medications when we are confident that we have reviewed literature and guidelines.
Our prescribing is always based on updated information and evidence since the product first became available.
8.1. We ensure that our prices for consultations, diagnosis and medical prescriptions are clearly set out on our Website. The prices shown include a component for the medical service provided to you by Gilbride Pharmacy.
8.2. Note that the price that you’ll see on our Website is the total price including these two components. Delivery charges are shown separately before ordering. All prices quoted are inclusive of VAT (where applicable). There are no hidden charges.
8.3. It is possible that, despite our best efforts, some of our Services may be incorrectly priced. If that is the case, we are under no obligation to provide the Services to you at the incorrect (lower) price if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and you could have reasonably recognised the price displayed as an error.
8.4. You’re responsible for providing valid credit or debit card details. You must be authorised to use these details and to authorise us, or our payment service provider, to take payment in full for the items you’ve ordered, including any associated fees due to us under these Terms, including delivery fees.
8.5. If your payment details have expired or are invalid in any way, we will try to contact you. If you are unable to give us the updated information, we reserve the right not to deliver your medicines to you.
9.1. CANCELLATION AND RETURNS POLICY

Given the nature of the Services in this instance (being the supply of medicinal products from us to you), the cancellation provisions under The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 will not apply to any Services that we provide.
