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”
