Oldham Website Terms of Use 2026

New website rules restrict how Oldham residents can share and use health information online, with strict content controls and comment moderation.

The Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership has updated its website terms for www.gmintegratedcare.org.uk, introducing new rules that affect how residents can use and share health information online. The changes mean users must now agree to updated terms that can be changed without notice, and the Partnership retains strict control over its content.

Under the new terms, most content on the site-including text and images-remains the property of the Partnership and cannot be copied or modified without written permission. The only exception is for personal, non-commercial use, such as sharing health information on social media. This could affect how local health campaigns and community groups share important NHS information.

The Partnership has also tightened its comment moderation policy, requiring users to post responsibly and face potential bans for breaking rules. Comments must be factually accurate and represent honestly held opinions. The site specifically warns against using comments to complain about specific services or staff, directing residents to official complaint channels instead.

Local health advocates have raised concerns about the restrictions, particularly the inability to freely share health information that could benefit the community. The Partnership maintains it has taken reasonable care to ensure information is accurate but accepts no liability for any losses or damages from using the site or linked websites.
