TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR CLIENTS

BETWEEN THE REGISTERED NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER

(RNTP) AND CLIENT

PART 1

The Nutritional Therapy Descriptor 

Nutritional therapy is the application of nutrition and lifestyle medicine sciences in the promotion of health, peak performance and individual care. Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioners assess and identify potential nutritional imbalances and understand how these may contribute to an individual’s symptoms and health concerns. This approach allows them to work with individuals to address nutritional imbalance and help support the body towards maintaining health. 

Nutritional therapy is recognised as a complementary medicine and is relevant for individuals with chronic conditions, as well as those looking for support to enhance their health and wellbeing. Practitioners consider each individual to be unique and recommend personalised nutrition and lifestyle programmes rather than a ‘one size fits all’ approach. 

Practitioners never recommend nutritional therapy as a replacement for medical advice and always refer any client with ‘red flag’ signs or symptoms to their medical professional. They frequently work alongside medical professionals and will communicate with other healthcare professionals involved in the client’s care to explain any nutritional therapy programme that has been provided. 

The Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (RNTP) requests that the Client notes the following: 

• The degree of benefit obtainable from nutritional therapy may vary between clients with similar health problems and following a similar nutritional therapy programme. 
• Nutrition and lifestyle recommendations will be tailored to support health conditions and/or health concerns identified and agreed between both parties. 
• RNTPs are not permitted to diagnose, or claim to treat, medical conditions. 
• RNTPs’ recommendations are not a substitute for professional medical advice and/or treatment. 
• Your RNTP may recommend food supplements and/or functional testing as part of your nutritional therapy programme and may receive a commission on these products or services.
• Standards of professional practice in nutritional therapy are governed by the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) Code of Conduct, Ethics and Performance.

​

The Client understands and agrees to the following: 

• I am responsible for contacting my GP about any health concerns. 
• If I am receiving treatment from my GP, or any other medical provider, I should tell him/her about any nutritional recommendations provided by my RNTP. This is necessary because of any possible reaction between medication and the nutritional programme. 
• It is important that I tell my RNTP about any medical diagnosis, medication, herbal medicine or food supplements I am taking as this may affect the nutritional programme. 
• If I am unclear about the agreed nutritional therapy programme/food supplement doses/time period, I should contact my RNTP promptly for clarification. 
• I understand that the recommendations are personal to me and may not be appropriate for others. I will therefore not share my plan with any other person. 
• I must contact my RNTP should I wish to continue any specified supplement programme for longer than the originally agreed period, to avoid any potential adverse reactions. 
• Recording consultations using any form of electronic media is not allowed without the written permission of both myself and my RNTP. Any recording without written permission is inadmissible.
• It is my responsibility to ensure I have a working internet connection for online appointments. If I am unable to connect as scheduled, the appointment is considered a ‘no show’ and charged in full.
• It is my responsibility to contact Esra Soylucicek to book my appointment within the timeframe of the plan.
• I agree to my RNTP writing to my GP should she feel it is necessary to convey information shared. 

Confidentiality and Data Protection

The Registered Nutritional Therapy Practitioner will keep your personal information confidential and secure following the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) guidelines for the practice. The RNTP will not share your information with third parties without your consent, with the exception of communicating with your GP, other healthcare professionals, or testing companies. However, if the RNTP believes there is a risk of significant harm to yourself or another person, the RNTP may pass the information onto an appropriate authority using the legal basis of vital interest. A separate Privacy and Consent Notice is available for your review. 

PART 2

Payment Terms and Cancellation Policy

Fees are agreed in advance of the package or appointment and are due in full in advance of the start of a package or an appointment. Package fees are paid in full in advance of the first appointment.  Payments can be made by bank transfer, credit or debit card. Payment plans are to help you split the cost of your fees only and are automated each week or month according to the payment plan chosen. As such the payments cannot be paused, changed or stopped. Even when using payment plans it is deemed that full payment is due prior to the start of your plan. 

Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice and ‘no shows’ will be charged in full. If you are on a package, the appointment will come out of the number of appointments you have as part of said package.  

In the case of advance payments for services, you have the right to cancel this Agreement within 14 days of the purchase without penalty (‘Cooling-off Period’). However, you will incur admiration fee (£200). If you wish to terminate the agreement within the 14-day Cooling-off Period, you must do so in writing to [email protected]. The RNTP will refund any monies paid prior to cancelling this Agreement less the admiration costs. If the services have commenced during the 14-day Cooling-off Period, the RNTP will refund any monies due to you for services not yet provided. The refund payment will be made within 14 days of cancellation. After 14 days your full package price is non-refundable and owed in full.

If the client cancels in the part way through the programme no refund will be made for the total package programme fee. Programmes are only effective and beneficial if fully completed.

Your RNTP may cancel your plan at any time should you fail to comply with the T&Cs or should she feel that your case requires referral. Packages remain non-refundable. Should your RNTP feel that referral is necessary, refunds will be at the discretion of your RNTP only, are not guaranteed, and would in any case only be for appointments or work yet to be carried out.

Should your RNTP or you, the client, have to cancel the appointment because of unforeseen circumstances, for example sickness you won’t be charged for this cancelled appointment but will be offered an alternative date and time.

As part of their training, nutritional therapy students are encouraged to observe qualified practitioners conducting consultations. If a student practitioner is to be taken on by the RNTP you will be asked prior to your appointment whether you feel comfortable having someone observe and your consent would be required.

We understand the above and agree that our professional relationship will be based on the content of this Agreement. We declare that all the information we share during this professional relationship is confidential and to the best of our knowledge is true and correct. 

PART 3

Data Protection Principles

There are six data protection principles that are core to the General Data Protection Regulation. Nutrition by Esra will make every possible effort to comply with these principles at all times in our information-handling practices.  The principles are:

– Lawful, fair and transparent

– Data collection must be fair, for a legal purpose and we must be open and transparent as to how the data will be used.

– Limited for its purpose

– Data can only be collected for a specific purpose.

• Data minimisation

– Any data collected must be necessary and not excessive for its purpose.

• Accurate

– The data we hold must be accurate and kept up to date.

• Retention

We cannot store data longer than necessary.

Integrity and confidentiality

The data we hold must be kept safe and secure.

Key risks

The main risks are in two key areas:

information about individuals getting into the wrong hands, through poor security or inappropriate disclosure of information

individuals being harmed through data being inaccurate or insufficient

Responsibilities

Esra Soylucicek is the data controller for all personal data held by us and is responsible for:

Analysing and documenting the type of personal data we hold

Checking procedures to ensure they cover all the rights of the individual

Identifying the lawful basis for processing data

Ensuring consent procedures are lawful

Implementing and reviewing procedures to detect, report and investigate personal data breaches

Storing data in safe and secure ways

Assessing the risk that could be posed to individual rights and freedoms should data be compromised

Data Recording, Security and Storage

Data accuracy and relevance

Esra Soylucicek will ensure that any personal data Nutrition by Esra processes is accurate, adequate, relevant and not excessive, given the purpose for which it was obtained. We will not process personal data obtained for one purpose for any unconnected purpose unless the individual concerned has agreed to this or would otherwise reasonably expect this.

Data security

Esra Soylucicek will keep personal data secure against loss or misuse. Where other organisations process personal data as a service on our behalf, we will establish what, if any, additional specific data security arrangements need to be implemented in contracts with those third-party organisations.

Storing data securely

In cases when data is stored on printed paper, it will be kept in a locked and secured building.  

Printed data will be shredded when it is no longer needed

Data stored on a computer will be protected by strong passwords that are changed regularly. A password manager will be used to create and store passwords.

Data stored on CDs or memory sticks will be encrypted or password protected and locked away securely when they are not being used

Cloud services used to store personal data will be assessed for compliance with GDPR principles.  An authenticator app will be used to access cloud data.

Data retention

Esra Soylucicek will retain personal data for no longer than is necessary. This shall be in accordance with the guidelines of our professional association, BANT.

Accountability and Transparency

Nutrition by Esra will ensure accountability and transparency in all our use of personal data.  We will keep written up-to-date records of all the data processing activities that we do and ensure that they comply with each of the GDPR principles.  

We will regularly review our data processing activities and implement measures to ensure privacy by design including data minimisation, pseudonymisation, transparency and continuously improving security and enhanced privacy procedures.

Consent

Esra Soylucicek will ensure that consents are specific, informed and plain English such that individuals clearly understand why their information will be collected, who it will be shared with, and the possible consequences of them agreeing or refusing the proposed use of the data.  Consents will be granular to provide choice as to which data will be collected and for what purpose.  We will seek explicit consent wherever possible.  

We will maintain an audit trail of consent by documenting details of consent received including who consented, when, how, what, if and when they withdraw consent.  For online consent, we may use a cryptographic hash function to support data integrity.  Alternatively, we will maintain the consents information in a spreadsheet with links to the consent forms.

We will regularly review consents and seek to refresh them regularly or if anything changes.

Direct Marketing

Nutrition by Esra will comply with both data protection law and Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations 2003 (PECR) when sending electronic marketing messages.  PECR restricts the circumstances in which we can market people and other organisations by phone, text, email or other electronic means.

We will seek explicit consent for direct marketing. We will provide a simple way to opt out of marketing messages and be able to respond to any complaints.

Subject Access Requests

What is a subject access request?

An individual has the right to receive confirmation that their data is being processed, access to their personal data and supplementary information which means the information which should be provided in a privacy notice.

How to deal with subject access requests

Esra Soylucicek will provide an individual with a copy of the information requested, free of charge. This will occur within one month of receipt. We endeavour to provide data subjects access to their information in commonly used electronic formats.

If complying with the request is complex or numerous, the deadline can be extended by two months, but the individual will be informed within one month. 

We can refuse to respond to certain requests, and can, in circumstances of the request being manifestly unfounded or excessive, charge a fee. If the request is for a large quantity of data, we can request the individual specify the information they are requesting. 

Once a subject access request has been made, we will not change or amend any of the data that has been requested. Doing so is a criminal offence.

Data portability requests

Nutrition by Esra will provide the data requested in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. This would normally be a PDF file, although other formats are acceptable. We must provide this data either to the individual who has requested it, or to the data controller they have requested it be sent to within one month.

Transferring data internationally

There are restrictions on international transfers of personal data. We will not transfer personal data abroad without express consent.  

Third Parties

Using third party controllers and processors

As a data controller and/or data processor, we will have written contracts in place with any third-party data controllers (and/or) data processors that we use. The contract will contain specific clauses which set out our and their liabilities, obligations and responsibilities.

As a data controller, we will only appoint processors who can provide sufficient guarantees under GDPR and that the rights of data subjects will be respected and protected.

As a data processor, we will only act on the documented instructions of a controller. We acknowledge our responsibilities as a data processor under GDPR and we will protect and respect the rights of data subjects.

Contracts

Nutrition by Esra’s contracts will comply with the standards set out by the ICO and, where possible, follow standard contractual clauses. Our contracts with data controllers (and/or) data processors will set out the subject matter and duration of the processing, the nature and stated purpose of the processing activities, the types of personal data and categories of data subject, and the obligations and rights of the controller.

Reporting breaches

Any breach of this policy or of data protection laws will be reported as soon as practically possible. This means as soon as we become aware of a breach.

Esra Soylucicek has a legal obligation to report any data breaches to UK Supervisory authority which is the Information Commissioners Officer within 72 hours.
