LEGAL DISCLAIMER

1. Company Information

SimsBuddy (www.simsbuddy.com) is owned and operated by SimsBuddy, registered at Suite A 82 James Carter Road, Mildenhall, United Kingdom, IP28 7DE.

All educational content, courses, virtual patient simulations, and materials on this website were created by us and are consequently the property of SimsBuddy. Please do not copy, reproduce, or redistribute any content without our express written permission.

2. Educational Purpose Only

• (a) Provide medical advice to patients or members of the public
• (b) Serve as a substitute for professional medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment
• (c) Replace clinical judgement or professional healthcare guidance
• (d) Be used for actual clinical decision-making in any healthcare setting

If you are a patient or member of the public seeking medical information, please consult a qualified healthcare professional. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

3. No Guarantee of Examination Success

Whilst it may be obvious, we must clearly state that SimsBuddy CANNOT GUARANTEE that by signing up to use our Service you will pass your examination. We suggest using SimsBuddy as merely one tool in your revision repertoire alongside other study methods, resources, and professional guidance.

Examination boards have their own marking criteria and case banks that are independent of our platform. Prior to each examination sitting, examiners determine where marks should be allocated. It would be inadvisable to rely solely on any single revision resource, including ours.

4. Fictional Content

All cases, scenarios, and virtual patient simulations on SimsBuddy are entirely FICTIONAL. They are based on common scenarios that healthcare professionals may encounter but do not represent real patients, real medical histories, or actual clinical cases.

Any resemblance to real cases, real patients, or scenarios found in actual examinations is purely coincidental. No real patient data or case studies have been incorporated into our AI algorithms or educational content.

5. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Our AI virtual patient simulation system has been developed by medical professionals and software developers. However, please be aware that:

• (a) AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or inconsistencies
• (b) No copyrighted medical guidelines or third-party content has been directly incorporated into our AI system
• (c) Users should verify critical information with authoritative medical sources
• (d) We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of AI-generated content
• (e) AI responses should not be relied upon as the sole source of medical education

While our tools are designed to offer helpful and accurate information, they are not infallible. Users are advised to consult additional authoritative resources such as clinical guidelines, textbooks, and peer-reviewed literature.

6. Accuracy and Currency of Information

While we endeavour to keep the information on this website as current and accurate as possible, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the information, products, services, or related materials contained on the website.

Medical knowledge is constantly evolving. Guidelines change, new research emerges, and best practices are updated. Information that was accurate at the time of publication may become outdated. Users should always verify information against current clinical guidelines and authoritative sources.

7. Drug Dosages and Prescribing Information

Drug information, dosages, and prescribing guidelines may change. Never rely solely on information from this educational platform for actual prescribing decisions.
