I currently have paid reviews in various media. What should I do if paid reviews are not allowed under HCSA?

Paid reviews are currently not allowed, in accordance with the Explanatory Guidance to the PHMCAR (Paragraph 5.7.1.), which stipulates that licensees must not coerce or offer valuable consideration of any kind to induce patients, caregivers or members of the public to provide testimonials and/or endorsements.
Paid reviews will need to be removed as soon as possible as this is in breach of Regulation 14 of the HCS (Advertisement) Regulations.
