There is no need to state a “non-specified” person’s qualification and the disclaimer every time the title “Dr” is used in a healthcare advertisement.
The information (i.e., qualifications and disclaimer) can be set out once within the same advertisement.
For social media posts, it would suffice to have the information to be set out once in the profile information. Similarly, for websites, it would also suffice to have the information set out once in the profile page. In the case of a two-page advertising leaflet, it would suffice to have the information set out once on the first page. The disclaimer can also be set out in the form of a footnote.
