If a clinical psychologist features on the website of a psychology clinic that provides psychological services, would he / she need to state his / her qualifications when using the title “Dr”?
The Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA) FAQs, Enhanced advertising control of healthcare service

The website of the psychology clinic provides information of its psychological services and features its clinical psychologist. This would be deemed as healthcare service advertising. As the clinical psychologist is not a “specified person” under Section 31B of the HCSA, he / she must comply with the following when using the title “Dr”:
state his/ her educational qualifications whenever the title “Dr” is used; and
include a disclaimer that “his/ her educational qualification is not a medical or dental qualification”
