Terms of Use

Last refreshed: July 5, 2026

These terms govern your use of Capital Health Summit. By reading and using this website, you agree to them. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

The scope of this site

Capital Health Summit is a patient-education resource about shoulder replacement, covering the total, reverse, and partial (hemiarthroplasty) operations. It pairs one patient’s experience with clinical content reviewed by a consultant orthopaedic surgeon, so you can understand the subject before you sit down with a professional. Its job is to inform and to keep you company, and nothing beyond that.

Not clinical advice

The site is general information and one man’s account. It is not medical, surgical, or professional advice, and it creates no doctor and patient relationship. You must not act on anything here without consulting a qualified surgeon who can examine your shoulder and read your imaging. That point matters enough that we set it out in full in the Medical Disclaimer, which forms part of these terms.

Using what is here

The content is for your personal, non-commercial use. You are welcome to read it and to quote a short passage with a clear link back to the source page. You may not republish whole articles, pass them off as your own, or put them to commercial use without our permission.

We link to independent bodies and other references for your convenience, including those on the Resources page. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, their accuracy, or their own policies. A link is a pointer, not an endorsement, and certainly not a recommendation of any surgeon, hospital, or product.

Accuracy and no warranty

We work to keep the site accurate and current, and clinical content is reviewed before it publishes, but we give no warranty that everything is complete, correct, or up to date at the moment you happen to read it. Shoulder-arthroplasty practice, implants, and figures move on. The site is provided “as is”.

Where liability sits

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or anything linked from it. Decisions about surgery are yours to make with a qualified professional, not on the strength of a web page.

Updates

We may revise these terms as the site develops. The “Last updated” date above shows the current version, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

Questions

If anything in these terms is unclear, please ask through the Contact page.
