Information only, no advice, no opinion
TOFS publications provide patient-focussed general information about healthcare for those impacted by Oesophageal Atresia and related conditions. Some of the information is in the form of anecdotal experiences of individual OA patients and their families. Unless explicitly stated in those contributions, the authors hold no relevant qualifications. It should not be assumed that successes reported in one case will necessarily be repeated in others.
TOFS is not engaged in the practice of medicine, and this information is not intended or offered as medical advice and is absolutely not a substitute for the patient’s individual consultation with qualified healthcare professionals who are fully informed as to the patient’s medical history, individual situation and needs.
Any person making any use of any information provided by TOFS accepts full responsibility for doing so and any consequences thereof.
Some of the content herein originates from third-party contributors (credited by name in that content and not staff or trustees of TOFS) and any opinions expressed in that content are those of the contributors themselves, and not necessarily those of TOFS.
