Trust & safety
Trust starts with clarity.
It helps to know who provides clinical advice, what Tibacare does and what you can expect. This page explains each, in plain language.
Clinician checks
How clinicians are checked.
Clinicians providing approved services through Tibacare have their professional identity and relevant credentials reviewed. The clinician considered for a service should also have a professional background relevant to that work.
Identity
First, we establish who the clinician is.
Professional registration
Registration is checked with the relevant professional authority.
Qualifications & expertise
Claims of expertise require a professional basis.
Standing & experience
Verification goes beyond a certificate.
Service & scope suitability
Professional evidence is considered against defined work.
Location & jurisdiction
Registration in one country does not create authority everywhere.
Approval & ongoing review
Participation follows review for an approved pathway.
Professional verification does not mean:
- A guaranteed clinical outcome
- Suitability for every medical problem
- Authority to practise everywhere
- Approval for every Tibacare service
- A replacement for professional judgement
- A replacement for local or physical care where it is required
Clear responsibilities
Clear about who does what.
Tibacare
Tibacare provides technology, coordination, governance, and operational infrastructure.
- Preserve professional independence
- Operate responsible access and governance processes
- Protect information through controls appropriate to the service
- Respond appropriately to serious concerns
- Represent clinicians, relationships, and services accurately
Independent clinicians
Where clinical services are offered through Tibacare, they are provided by independently practising healthcare professionals, who remain responsible for their own assessments, advice, decisions, documentation, and professional practice.
- Clinical opinions remain the independent professional judgement of the clinician providing them.
- Clinicians are expected to work within their competence, appropriate scope, and the limitations of the service being provided.
Privacy and information
Your information and your choices.
- Information is shared with the patient’s permission.
- Adult patients control their own medical information.
- Clinical information, professional records, and digital systems should be used only for appropriate authorised purposes.
- Access follows responsibility. Being part of the network is not permission to access every record in the network.
Share medical records or identity documents only through the secure workflow approved for the relevant service. Do not send sensitive information through a general public channel.

What remote care cannot do.
Remote consultation is not appropriate for every medical situation. Physical assessment, investigations, treatment, and continuing hands-on care remain with appropriate local healthcare services.
Clinician, service, and market availability depends on specialty, location, professional registration, jurisdiction, pathway readiness, and clinical suitability.
Questions and concerns
Questions, concerns and complaints.
Raising a concern in good faith should not disadvantage you or reduce the professional standard of service, clinical consideration, or treatment you receive.
