Purepages Group is grateful that you have taken the time to visit our Internet presence, www.medicourse.co.uk and we hope that it was both interesting and commercially beneficial for you. Our database of healthcare courses, medical training, medical and healthcare events is growing daily and you may visit us on the web at any time, totally anonymously, and without passing over any personal information.

Medicourse has created this privacy policy statement in order to demonstrate our strong commitment to privacy. We as a company are deeply committed to respecting and protecting your right to privacy and we take this right very seriously. We have very strict privacy policies and we strive to keep your personal and financial information secure. To that end, we have prepared this privacy policy to disclose and describe my information gathering and dissemination practices for this website.

Importantly, when you subscribe to the Medicourse system, blogs, newsletter or make a purchase from us, please be advised that we will not sell, loan, or give your email address or other personal and financial information to anybody without your consent.  Recent courtcases in both the USA and Europe have indicated a strong surge towards ethical marketing which means total transparency is necessary if a healthcare company is paying a clinician or healthcare practitioner. Medical prosthetics manufacturers, for example,  can no longer pay surgeons for product development anonymously. Drug companies can no longer sponsor doctors without declaring this fact to the public.

Collection of Your Personal Information

You can always visit our websites without giving any information about yourself.

  • To provide a user name and password for one of our products.
  • To contact you for customer satisfaction surveys, market research or in connection with certain transactions.

If and when we do collect information from you, you may tell us that you do not want it used for further marketing contact and we will respect your wishes. Questions about this statement or about Purepages Group’s handling of your information may be sent to: privacy@purepagesgroup.com
