Our administrators and authorised moderators help maintain the quality, security and integrity of the community.

Send reports to:
qpHealthcare Technology Limited
Email:forum@qphealthcaretech.com
Where possible, include:
- The topic or post link.
- The username involved.
- A brief explanation of the concern.
- Relevant supporting evidence.
Avoid publishing sensitive evidence in public discussions.
- Urgent Safety and Privacy Concerns
Reports involving threats, exposed patient information, compromised accounts, fraud or serious confidentiality breaches may receive priority attention.
If you believe your account has been compromised, contact the administration promptly and change your password.
Where a personal data breach occurs, qpHealthcare will assess the incident and take any notification or remedial steps required by applicable data protection law.
- Appeals and Reviews
A member who believes a moderation decision was incorrect may submit an appeal by email.
The appeal should include:
- The member’s username.
- The decision being challenged.
- The date of the decision, if known.
- The reasons for requesting a review.
- Any relevant additional information.
Send appeals to:
qpHealthcare may review the circumstances and communicate its decision where appropriate.
An appeal does not automatically restore access while a security or safety restriction remains necessary.
- Confidentiality of Reports
Reports will be handled with appropriate care.
Information may be shared with authorised administrators, moderators, professional advisers or relevant authorities where necessary and lawful.
We will take reasonable steps to protect reporters from retaliation, but we cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality in every investigation.
- False or Abusive Reports
Members must not knowingly submit false reports, fabricate evidence or use the reporting system to harass, intimidate or retaliate against others.
Deliberate misuse of the reporting process may itself result in moderation action.
- Fairness and Consistency
Moderation decisions will take account of the available information, the seriousness of the conduct, previous violations and the need to protect the community.
qpHealthcare may take different actions in different circumstances depending on the facts of each case.
- Policy Updates
We may update this policy as the community develops or as legal, operational and security requirements change.
The latest version will be published on this page.
