PLEASE TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTICE
Although we have attempted to ensure the information published on The Advance project website (including all articles, research data and surveys; hereafter “Information”) is as accurate and complete as possible, such Information may change from time to time. This may be because further research is developed and becomes available. Practice may also vary according to what is available locally (eg, particular services) and the experience and expertise of local health professionals. In addition, the Information is necessarily of a general nature, and health professionals should use their best clinical judgement in the way in which it is used. Individuals should exercise their personal and professional judgement and seek medical or specialist advice as required.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, expressed or implied, regarding errors or omissions in the Information. We assume no liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting from the use of Information. All access to and use of the Information is at the risk of the user.
On The Advance Project website, we may provide links to a number of other websites. The inclusion of these links does not mean that they or their information, products, or services are endorsed or recommended by us. We do not exercise any control over the content on these websites, and you are subject to that website's privacy policy when you leave our website. We do not endorse, and will not be liable for the content or use of adapted products that are incorporated on other websites.

We do not endorse or recommend products or services for which you may see a pop-up advertisement on your computer screen while visiting our website. All material contained within the advertised website, and on any pages to which it is linked, is completely independent of us and in no way represents our interests or policies.
