GPAtlas | Terms of Use and Sale
The terms that govern using GPAtlas and buying a subscription.
Last updated: 14 November 2026
1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use and Sale ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you ("the User") and GPAtlas LTD ("GPAtlas", "we", "us"). They govern your use of the GPAtlas platform, accessible at
www.gpatlas.co.uk
By accessing the Site, creating an account, or purchasing a subscription, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. For details on how we handle your personal data, please refer to our
Privacy & Cookie Policy
2. IMPORTANT: Educational Disclaimer
GPAtlas is an independent educational provider. All content, including proprietary topics, summaries, audio, exam preparation materials, and AI-generated outputs, is for educational and professional development purposes only.
The content is not a substitute for your own professional clinical judgement, official guidance (e.g. NICE, BNF, SIGN, and NHS), or local protocols. You remain solely responsible for all your clinical decisions and patient care. Users are responsible for verifying all information against current clinical standards. We offer no guarantee of exam success.
Content Currency and Derivation:
Ocean articles on GPAtlas represent our most up-to-date clinical content. Audio summaries (Echo), podcasts, and visual infographics (Scope) are derived from these articles and may not immediately reflect recent updates. For the latest guidance, always refer to the primary Ocean articles and verify with relevant national guidance.
Originality and Non-Affiliation:
All exam resources provided on the Site, including AceTheSCA cases and AKT Compass questions and mock exams, are entirely original, fictional, and created solely for educational simulation. They do not contain, nor are they based upon, recalled exam material, past papers, or proprietary content from the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) or any other examining body. Any resemblance to actual exam questions or real patient encounters is purely coincidental. The teaching notes are written by us against published UK guidance, with citations to the bodies that issued it. Clinical photographs and charts used in questions are either our own or openly licensed for reuse, and are displayed with attribution where the licence requires one. GPAtlas is an independent educational platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with the RCGP, the General Medical Council, NICE, the British National Formulary, the NHS, or any other examining, guidance or professional body whose material we may reference. All third-party organisation names, guidance, and trademarks referred to on the Site remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification and educational purposes only.
GPAtlas may provide summaries of publicly available healthcare news, guidance, and updates from third-party sources (such as NICE, NHS, and others). These summaries are provided for informational and educational purposes only, may simplify source material, and do not constitute official publications or endorsements. Users should always refer to the original sources for complete and current information.
Content & Clinical Disclaimer:
Content & Clinical Disclaimer: Our clinical content is original material, reviewed and approved by our own clinicians for educational purposes, and is consistent with current UK clinical guidance. It is not a verbatim reproduction of any third-party publication. Clinical guidance evolves; our content reflects our understanding at the time of writing and may not reflect the latest position. GPAtlas is intended for qualified healthcare professionals and those training for such roles. It is not for use by patients and is not a diagnostic, triage, or prescribing tool. Always consult the original, current source before any clinical decision.
Content Development and Clinical Review:
GPAtlas educational content is developed using a combination of clinical expertise, evidence-based resources and AI-assisted tools where appropriate. Clinical content is subject to review and quality assurance by a GP.
We aim to keep our content accurate, relevant and aligned with current UK clinical guidance. Content is reviewed and updated as appropriate.
Some images and visual materials on GPAtlas may be generated using artificial intelligence for illustrative purposes only and do not represent real patients, events, or clinical scenarios.
3. Eligibility
Access to and use of the Site is restricted to individuals aged 18 or over who are healthcare professionals, trainees, or students in a relevant medical discipline.
Your professional registration:
When you first use the free AI credits, the free simulator consultations or a free trial, we ask for your professional registration (for example your GMC, NMC or GPhC number), or for you to tell us you are not registered yet.
These free benefits are for healthcare professionals and trainees, once per person. We check the format of the number and whether another account already uses it, and we may hold the free benefits back while a person reviews the account. If you think a hold is wrong, contact us and a person will look at it.
Please give your own, accurate number. If an account uses a number that is not the member’s own, we may withdraw its free benefits or close it.
4. Subscriptions, Access, and Payments
4.1 Term Access Plans:
Fixed-term passes (for example 3, 4 or 6 months), and the twelve-month AceTheSCA, AKT Compass, SCA Hero and AKT Hero plans, are single, one-time purchases that expire automatically. They never renew and there is nothing to cancel.
4.2 Recurring Subscriptions:
Monthly subscriptions, and the annual subscriptions to GPAtlas Premium, GPAtlas Pro and GP Superhero, renew automatically. An annual SCA Hero or AKT Hero subscription taken out before 21 September 2026 continues to renew as agreed until it is cancelled; from that date those two plans are sold for twelve months as a single payment under section 4.1. You may cancel at any time via your account dashboard. When you cancel, the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid billing period (either the month or the year). This describes how cancellation works and does not affect your 14-day right to cancel, which is set out in section 4.5.5.
4.3 Price Adjustments:
We reserve the right to change subscription prices. For recurring subscriptions, we will provide at least 30 days' notice of any price changes. Revised pricing will take effect at your next renewal.
4.4 Refunds:
Except where you have a statutory right to a refund, price reduction or other remedy, payments are non-refundable once supply has begun, whether you have used the access in part or not at all. Section 4.5 explains the basis for this, and section 4.5.1 sets out our approach where something has gone wrong.
4.4.1 Chargeback and Dispute Policy:
If you believe a payment has been taken incorrectly, please contact GPAtlas support first so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, resolve the issue promptly. This does not affect any rights or remedies available to you under applicable law or through your card issuer or payment provider.
4.5 Your 14-day right to cancel (right to change your mind):
As a consumer you would ordinarily have 14 days in which to cancel a subscription, under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Everything we supply is digital content and is made available to you immediately on payment. Accordingly, at checkout you give your express consent to supply beginning immediately and acknowledge that, in doing so, you lose your 14-day right to cancel. That consent and acknowledgement are set out in full immediately above the payment button. Once supply has begun, the payment is not refundable. You may nevertheless end your subscription at any time: cancellation prevents further renewals, and you retain the access you have already paid for until the end of that period. Where you subscribe for a business, practice or organisation rather than as a consumer, the statutory right does not arise.
4.5.1 Beyond your statutory rights:
If something has gone wrong, or you have subscribed in error or to the wrong plan, please contact us. We consider each refund or credit request on its own facts and aim to reach a fair outcome, and we would always prefer to resolve a matter with you directly. Any refund or credit granted on that basis is made as a matter of goodwill and at our discretion; it neither reduces nor replaces the rights set out above.
4.6 Secure Payment Processing:
All payments are processed securely via Stripe. GPAtlas does not store or have access to your full credit card details. Payment information is handled in accordance with Stripe's security and privacy terms and privacy policy.
4.7 AI Suite Credits:
Access to the GPAtlas AI Suite is managed using a credit system.
Atlas Search
Admin Copilot
is also provided without consuming credits (subject to fair use). Credits apply to
Ask Expert
and to generating
Portfolio & Appraisal Hub
drafts. The following terms apply:
Monthly allowance:
Every paid plan that includes the AI tools carries a monthly credit allowance, refreshed automatically on the monthly anniversary of the subscription. The size of the allowance depends on the plan you hold, and how much of it you have left is shown in your account at any time. Where a member holds more than one qualifying plan at the same time, one allowance applies (the largest of them), not the sum. Plans that are exam-only, such as AceTheSCA or AKT Compass on its own, do not carry an allowance.
GPAtlas Premium, Pro and Max:
All three plans include the full clinical library and the AI tools (Ask Expert, Admin Copilot, and the Portfolio & Appraisal Hub). They differ only in the size of the monthly AI allowance, with Pro and Max carrying progressively larger allowances than Premium. Each carries its own monthly allowance and unlimited Admin Copilot, subject to fair use, on the same basis as the "Monthly allowance" and "Admin Copilot" provisions above. The allowance for each plan is shown on the pricing page and in your account. You may move between them at any time.
SCA Hero (AceTheSCA and the clinical library):
AKT Hero (AKT Compass and the clinical library):
The AKT Hero bundle combines an AKT Compass subscription with everything in GPAtlas Premium in a single purchase, offered from the AKT area as a monthly subscription, or as a single payment for a fixed term of four or six months. Until 4 October 2026 it was also sold for a fixed term of twelve months; anyone who holds one keeps it on the terms it was bought on. It is built around the AKT and includes no AceTheSCA content and no AI Consultation Simulator. Its AI Suite entitlements are provided on exactly the same basis as GPAtlas Premium described above: it carries its own monthly credit allowance and unlimited Admin Copilot subject to fair use. AKT Hero subscribers may also purchase top-up credits, which apply as set out below.
GP Superhero (everything on GPAtlas):
The GP Superhero bundle combines everything on the platform in a single purchase: the full clinical library and AI tools of GPAtlas Premium, the whole of AceTheSCA including a monthly allowance of AI Consultation Simulator sessions, and the whole of AKT Compass. A GP Superhero subscription paid for by card also includes 100 Whisper Scribe consultations a month, with a monthly recording limit of 24 hours, on the same terms as a Whisper plan's monthly consultations; a GP Superhero month given free of charge, such as a resitter month, does not include them. It is offered from the pricing page as a monthly or annual subscription.
Its AI Suite entitlements are provided on the same basis as the "Monthly allowance" and "Admin Copilot (unlimited, fair use)" provisions above, with a monthly credit allowance on the same basis as GPAtlas Pro, twice the Premium allowance. GP Superhero subscribers may also purchase top-up credits, which apply as set out below. Members who held GP Superhero from before it returned to sale keep the access and terms they have.
SCA Hero, AKT Hero and GP Superhero are exclusive bundles:
Because each bundle already includes the full clinical library and the AI tools, the SCA Hero, AKT Hero and GP Superhero bundles cannot be held together with GPAtlas Premium, GPAtlas Pro, GPAtlas Max, the AI Suite plan, or with each other. In keeping with how these overlapping plans operate, a member who already holds any one of them moves to a bundle by changing plan (see Section 4.9) rather than by holding both, and may not hold a bundle and an overlapping plan at the same time. A bundle also cannot be held alongside the standalone subscription for the exam it already contains: SCA Hero and GP Superhero include AceTheSCA, and AKT Hero and GP Superhero include AKT Compass, so holding both would charge you twice for the same exam content. A standalone subscription for an exam your plan does not contain remains a separate add-on; for example, a GPAtlas Premium member may still add AceTheSCA, and so may an AKT Hero member.
Whisper plans:
Whisper is sold as its own subscription, monthly or yearly. Whisper 250 includes up to 250 consultations a month and Whisper 500 up to 500. A consultation is one recording that produces a note; regenerating a note does not count again, and a Live consultation (the words shown on screen as they are spoken) counts as two. Each plan also includes GPAtlas Premium: the full clinical library, Ask Expert and the Portfolio Hub with Premium's monthly allowance of AI credits, Admin Copilot on the fair-use basis below, CPD certificates and the FourteenFish export; Whisper 500 includes twice Premium's monthly allowance. Credits apply as set out in our credit terms: one credit is one Ask Expert question or one Portfolio Hub draft. Where you also hold another plan with an allowance, the higher allowance applies, not the two added together. Unused consultations and monthly credits do not roll over and have no cash value. A new account may record 6 consultations free, once per account and never renewed; as with our other free benefits, we ask for your professional registration first. Pay as you go: packs of 100 consultations (£12), 300 (£33) or 1,000 (£100) may be bought by any account, with or without a plan. Pack consultations are paid for once and do not expire; on a plan they are used only after the month's included consultations, and they stay yours if a subscription ends. Without a Whisper plan, a consultation paid from a pack that lasts longer than 20 minutes uses two, and a Live consultation uses two. A patient text or letter drafted in Whisper from your own consultation in the 7 days after it uses no AI credits, up to 5 for each consultation. Ask Expert questions on pay as you go use the account's AI credits, and GPAtlas Premium comes only with a plan.
Admin Copilot (unlimited, fair use):
For every active subscription that carries a monthly AI allowance, Admin Copilot is provided on an unlimited basis and does not consume credits, subject to a fair-use allowance of 500 drafts per month that resets on the monthly anniversary of the subscription. In a Premium free trial the first 40 Admin Copilot drafts are free; after that, and on a free account, one credit covers two drafts. We may apply reasonable fair-use measures to prevent automated, abusive, or excessive use.
No rollover:
The monthly credit allowance does not roll over. Unused monthly credits expire when the allowance refreshes and have no cash value.
Top-up credits:
Additional credits may be purchased separately by any member with a confirmed account, with or without a subscription, and apply across the AI Suite tools. They cannot be used in the AI Consultation Simulator, which runs on its own separate credit balance (Section 5.9). Top-up credits do not expire. If you cease to hold any active subscription, your remaining top-up credits stay yours and remain spendable; any unused monthly allowance ends with the subscription and is not restored. Trial credits are administered separately and are not subject to this provision. Top-up credit purchases are subject to Section 4.4, and to your cancellation rights in Section 4.5.
Free monthly credits:
A free account receives up to twenty AI credits a month to use in the AI Suite, once its email address is confirmed and its professional registration has been accepted (Section 3). On the first day of each month (UK time) the balance is topped back up to twenty. Unused free credits do not carry over, they pause while a trial or a plan with its own allowance is running, and they are once per person, have no cash value, and may be varied or withdrawn at our discretion.
Included generations:
Certain outputs (for example, short patient SMS messages generated in Admin Copilot) may be provided without consuming a credit. For every subscription carrying a monthly allowance this forms part of unlimited Admin Copilot use. Trial and non-subscriber use is charged as set out above. We reserve the right to change which generations are included.
Fair use:
Credits are provided for your individual professional and educational use. We reserve the right to apply reasonable rate limits and to suspend access where we detect automated, abusive, or excessive use.
4.8 Free, Sample, and Visitor Access:
Much of GPAtlas is available without a paid subscription. What you can open depends on whether you are signed in and which plan you hold:
Visitors (not signed in):
you may browse listings, read up to three whole topics of the clinical library each month (counted in your own browser and reset each month), open the designated public samples in full, and view preview extracts of other content. Introductory or training videos may also be made available to visitors.
Registered (free) users:
you receive the whole clinical library in full: every topic in The Ocean, every infographic in The Scope, every audio summary in The Echo, and the lab results and antimicrobial reference sheets. You also receive the free samples in AceTheSCA and AKT Compass, with their audio and study tools (such as the consultation timer), and the free AI credits in Section 4.7. Content in AceTheSCA and AKT Compass that is not designated free opens with the relevant subscription.
Subscribers:
you receive full access to all content within the module(s) you have subscribed to, for the duration of your subscription.
For example, in AceTheSCA a visitor may view a single public sample case and the introductory consultation and training videos; a registered free user gains full access to the cases, dilemmas, and guides we have marked as free samples; and an active AceTheSCA subscriber gains full access to all SCA cases and resources. In AKT Compass, a registered free user can answer the questions we have marked as free samples and sit the mock exam we have marked as a free sample, and an active AKT Compass subscriber gains full access to the question bank, the three mock exams and the teaching notes. We may change which items are designated as free, public-sample, or preview content, and the extent of any preview, at any time. All free, sample, and visitor access is provided for individual evaluation and educational use only, and is subject to the same account-conduct (Section 9) and intellectual-property (Section 8) terms as paid access.
4.9 Changing Plan:
4.10 Buying us a coffee:
A coffee is a voluntary contribution to GPAtlas, paid on a Stripe page. It does not buy access, credits or any other benefit. Coffees are not refundable, except a payment taken twice by mistake or one you did not make, which we refund when you tell us.
5. The GPAtlas AI Suite
The GPAtlas AI Suite provides
AI-generated educational support for healthcare professionals
5.1 Educational support, not medical advice:
All AI Suite outputs are provided for educational and administrative support only. They are
medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations, and are not a substitute for your own professional clinical judgement, official national guidance (such as NICE, SIGN, and the BNF), or your local policy. You must always verify any information against current guidance and local policy before acting on it. You remain solely and fully responsible for all clinical decisions, documentation, and patient care.
5.2 AI can make mistakes:
Although our tools are designed to draw on trusted UK clinical sources and to provide citations where applicable, artificial intelligence can produce information that is incomplete, out of date, or incorrect. You must independently review and verify every output. GPAtlas does not warrant that AI Suite outputs are accurate, current, or fit for any particular purpose.
5.3 No patient-identifiable information:
You must
enter patient-identifiable information into any AI Suite tool. This includes (without limitation) names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, addresses, contact details, or any combination of information that could reasonably identify a patient. The AI Suite is intended for use with anonymised clinical scenarios only. You are solely responsible for ensuring that no patient-identifiable or otherwise confidential information is entered, and for compliance with your data protection obligations and your employer's information governance policies.
5.4 Ask Expert and Admin Copilot:
5.5 Interaction history:
Some AI Suite tools retain a history of your interactions to provide platform features. Details of what is stored, and how you may delete it or exercise your data protection rights, are set out in our
Privacy & Cookie Policy
5.6 Feedback:
The AI Suite provides feedback controls (such as 👍 / 👎 ratings, with an option to tell us what was wrong) on tool outputs. Providing feedback is voluntary, and you must not include any patient-identifiable or otherwise confidential information in it. By submitting feedback, suggestions, or ideas, you grant GPAtlas a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free licence to use them to operate and improve our products and services, without obligation or compensation to you.
5.7 Voice dictation and file attachments:
The AI Suite provides optional voice dictation (which converts your spoken question into text for your review and editing before anything is sent) and, in Ask Expert, optional file attachments (PDF documents, photographs of documents, and text files) to give context to a question. Dictated audio and attached files are processed transiently in memory to generate your answer and are
never stored
5.8 Regulatory status:
GPAtlas Ask Expert and GPAtlas Whisper are registered with the MHRA as Class I medical devices under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002 and carry the UKCA mark, with Declarations of Conformity held by the manufacturer, GPAtlas LTD (Company No. 16587886).
Registration with the MHRA is not approval or endorsement by the MHRA.
This regulatory status does not change the educational nature of the tools or your responsibilities set out above.
5.9 AceTheSCA AI Consultation Simulator:
The AI Consultation Simulator lets you practise a spoken consultation with an AI-generated patient and receive AI-generated feedback and marking, as exam preparation for the RCGP SCA. The patients are
entirely fictional
not a medical device
and its marking is an educational estimate only, not a prediction or guarantee of your performance in any real examination. Your spoken audio is transcribed to text and then
immediately deleted
and never stored; only the resulting transcript and marking are saved to your account so you can review your attempts. You can ask us to delete any attempt at any time by contacting us, and your attempts are deleted when you close your account. You must
never describe or disclose a real patient
do not expire
no refund is due for any plan, pass or credit pack on the basis of consultations used or unused
coaching chat
about that consultation, which is
included at no extra credit
and allows unlimited follow-up questions. The coaching is AI-generated educational feedback about your practice consultation only; it is
not clinical advice
for any real patient.
5.10 AI mock exam:
The simulator can also run a
mock exam
educational estimate only
not a prediction or guarantee
of your performance in any real examination. Mock cases are selected as a spread across the RCGP blueprint's Clinical Experience Groups so that a circuit covers a representative range; this is our own mapping of our own cases and is not endorsed by the RCGP. Before a mock begins you choose the timing that applies to every station: 3 minutes of reading with a 12-minute consultation (as in the real SCA), 3 minutes 45 seconds with 12, or 3 minutes 45 seconds with a 15-minute consultation as the extra-time accommodation, all at the same credit cost. A mock costs
one simulator credit per station
and needs a minimum of six, so you may sit one whether or not you subscribe: a non-subscriber simply buys credits at the price shown on the purchase page and the mock unlocks the cases it selects for that mock only. Mock credits are spent as the mock runs and are
non-refundable outside the cancellation rights described in Section 4.5
never include a case that appeared in one of your previous mocks
5.11 GPAtlas Whisper (ambient scribe):
Whisper is for registered healthcare professionals in the United Kingdom, used within their own scope of practice; it is not for emergency or unattended use. Our Whisper data processing terms form part of these Terms. By using Whisper you accept them, on behalf of your practice or organisation where you record its patients, or for yourself if you practise on your own account, and you confirm you are authorised to do so. We record that acceptance at your first recording; you can read the terms in Whisper when signed in.
Whisper listens to a consultation and drafts a structured consultation note for your review. Unlike the AI Suite tools above, Whisper necessarily processes what is said in a real consultation, so Section 5.3 applies to it in a modified form: you must still keep identifiers out of the recording wherever possible, and in particular you must
never state the patient's name or address
during a recorded consultation; the note never needs them. Before recording you must tell the patient (or their representative) what you are doing and proceed only with their agreement, in line with your practice's or organisation's policies; do not record where agreement is not given. The recording reaches us in short pieces while the consultation is still going on, so you are not left waiting when you stop. We hold it only for as long as it takes to produce the note: it is passed to a specialist speech-recognition provider for transcription,
our copy is deleted as soon as the note is saved
The audio never becomes part of your stored record.
The drafted note is saved to your account until you delete the consultation or close your account. The transcript text is kept for 30 days after the consultation, so that you can check or regenerate the note, and is then deleted automatically; copies in our encrypted backups expire within 8 weeks. You can delete any consultation at any time. Every note is a
draft for your review
suggestions and not exhaustive
6. Portfolio & Appraisal Hub: Your Responsibility
The Portfolio & Appraisal Hub is a supportive coaching tool that helps you draft and refine reflective entries for the RCGP Workplace Based Assessment (WPBA) and ongoing appraisal. The following terms apply specifically to its use:
Based on your own real experience:
Entries must be based on real cases, encounters, or events in which you have personally been involved. You must not fabricate clinical scenarios or present events you were not involved in as your own.
No patient-identifiable information:
As with all AI Suite tools, you must not enter patient-identifiable information. Reflective entries must be appropriately anonymised at all times.
AI supports your reflection, not replaces it:
The Hub is designed to help you articulate and structure your own reflection, not to generate reflection on your behalf. To support genuine engagement, the platform requires you to develop your reflection through its guided coaching conversation before a polished entry can be generated.
You must review and verify every entry:
Although we have tested the Hub rigorously to reduce inaccuracies, AI can still make mistakes. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying every entry, including any clinical content, against current guidance and your local policy before using it. All generated content is provided as editable, copyable material.
Declaring use of AI:
Where you use an AI-assisted entry in your portfolio or appraisal, you are responsible for declaring the use of AI in accordance with the expectations of your educational supervisor, your deanery, and the RCGP. GPAtlas does not make this declaration on your behalf.
Sending is your choice:
The Portfolio & Appraisal Hub sends an entry to FourteenFish only when you choose to send it, and never to any other third-party portfolio platform. You check what is sent, or copy and submit the content into your portfolio yourself, and you remain responsible for what you submit.
Professional responsibility:
You retain full professional responsibility for all content you submit to your portfolio, appraiser, deanery, or regulator. You are responsible for reviewing content generated using GPAtlas AI tools and deciding whether it is suitable for your intended use, including verifying accuracy, anonymising appropriately, and declaring the use of AI where required. AI-generated content should not be relied upon as a substitute for appropriate professional judgement, verification or review.
7. Special Offers and Hardship Access
7.1 Discretionary Nature:
All discounts and special access plans are offered at the sole discretion of GPAtlas and may be withdrawn or modified at any time.
7.2 FY2 and Medical Student Discounts:
Eligible users may apply for a
25% discount on any annual subscription plan
7.3 Hardship Access:
Users who provide evidence of failing the AKT or SCA exam
two or more times
may apply for a discretionary
30% discount, applied for the first 12 months of the subscription
7.4 Free and Gifted Access:
From time to time we grant free, time-limited access to parts of the platform, for example a founding member's free month, a free month for exam resitters, an educator evaluation trial, a deanery or training-programme access code, or a reward earned through our referral programme. Unless we state otherwise in writing: each such grant is
one per person
7.5 Referral Programme:
When our referral programme is open, a person who joins through your referral link or code chooses, when creating their account, either a percentage discount on the first payment of their first subscription (applied automatically at checkout, once per person, and not combinable with another discount) or a coffee-shop e-gift card. You, the referrer, receive an e-gift card of the same kind for each person you refer who makes their first real payment; free trials, gifted access, and fully discounted payments do not count. The card's brand and value are stated on the referral page in your account, which forms part of these Terms while the programme runs. E-gift cards are emailed once that first payment has gone through, are subject to the issuing chain's own terms (including where and until when they can be used), have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money or credit, and cannot be replaced once sent. We send at most 20 e-gift cards to any one referrer in a rolling 12-month period. Live-session partners take part under their own partner agreement instead of this programme, and people who join through a live session receive the first-payment discount rather than an e-gift card. We never tell a referrer who subscribed, only that someone did. Self-referrals, bulk-created accounts, and refunded first payments do not count, and we may withhold rewards where we see abuse.
7.6 Educator Rate:
Training Programme Directors, GP trainers and educational supervisors may apply for a discretionary
50% discount on AceTheSCA and AKT Compass subscription plans (including the SCA Hero and AKT Hero plans) and on GP Superhero
7.7 Free Trial:
We may offer a free trial of GPAtlas Premium or GPAtlas Pro (currently fourteen days) to new members, and a free trial of AKT Compass, AceTheSCA, AKT Hero or SCA Hero (currently forty-eight hours each, on the monthly plan) on the same terms. The trial is of the plan you choose and converts into that plan. A trial of AKT Hero or SCA Hero includes GPAtlas Premium, so it also counts as your Premium trial. Each trial is offered once per person per product. The trial requires a payment card, which Stripe stores; nothing is charged during the trial. At the end of the trial the subscription converts automatically to the plan and billing cycle you chose, at the price shown, and the exact date and amount of that first payment are shown to you before you enter your card and again on your account page. You may cancel at any time before that date from your account page and nothing will be charged. The trial is once per person: we use your email address, your account’s history and a Stripe card fingerprint (a token that identifies the card, never the card number) to offer it once, and a repeat trial started on a card or email address that has already had one is cancelled at once, with nothing charged. The Premium trial covers GPAtlas Premium only, not the exam modules or the consultation simulator; it carries a small one-time allowance of AI credits (in addition to any free credits the account already holds) rather than the monthly allowance, which begins with the first payment, and that trial allowance ends when the trial ends. The AKT Compass trial opens the question bank, the notes and the first mock exam; the AceTheSCA trial opens the cases, the dilemmas and the exam guide; the rest of each product opens with the first payment. We do not currently send a reminder before the first payment. Anyone who has already had a founding month, an educator free period or gifted Premium access is not eligible for the Premium trial, and no trial follows a hardship or resitter month.
7.8 Live Session Partners:
We approve some GP educators as live session partners, to run free sessions through GPAtlas. While a partner is approved, they may show, discuss and work through GPAtlas materials with the trainees who join the sessions they run through GPAtlas, using the free access we grant them for that purpose. This permission is personal to the partner and covers those sessions only: it does not extend to any other teaching, tutoring, coaching or course, whether paid or free, and it ends when their partnership ends. A partner must not copy, download, screenshot, record or distribute our materials, include them in any recording of a session, or share their account or access with anyone. Sessions run in a video meeting room that we provide and host; a partner joins it as the presenter or co-host and must not record it by any means, whether with the meeting service's own tools, other software or another device. Any recording of a session belongs to GPAtlas and is held by us. While a partner is signed in, GPAtlas pages show their name faintly across the screen. The free access we grant a partner is described on their partner page, never results in a charge, and ends as set out there: it opens when we approve them, stays open for six weeks after each session they run, and ends at once if the partnership ends. We may end a partner's permission and access at any time, including where we see misuse.
7.9 A thank-you when you cancel:
When you start to cancel a monthly or yearly plan, or a free trial, we may offer 30% off: the next 3 monthly payments or the next yearly payment, or on a trial the first 3 monthly payments or the first year. It is offered once per person and never alongside another discount. If you decline, cancelling carries on as normal.
7.10 Whisper launch offer:
A first Whisper subscription started on or before 17 November 2026 is discounted automatically and with no code: 30% off the first 3 monthly payments on a monthly plan, or 30% off the first year on a yearly plan. After that, the standard price shown on our pricing page applies. The offer is available once per person, applies only to a first Whisper subscription, and is not combined with any other discount.
7.11 Whisper launch offer on our other plans:
A plan other than Whisper, of any length, started on or before 17 November 2026 by a member who is not already paying for a plan is discounted automatically and with no code: 30% off the first 3 monthly payments of a monthly plan, or 30% off the first payment of a yearly plan or a 4 or 6-month pass.

8. Intellectual Property
All content, design, software, and materials on the Site are the exclusive intellectual property of GPAtlas LTD. You are granted a limited, non-transferable licence for personal, non-commercial educational use only, for as long as your subscription or, for free content such as Mandatory Training, your account is active.
You may not copy, share, resell, or create derivative works from our content. You must not use our materials to teach others in any commercial setting, including tutoring, coaching, or institutional delivery. The only exception is the permission in section 7.8 for approved live session partners, within its limits.
Free courses, such as Mandatory Training, are licensed to you, not given away. You must not copy, record or download their lessons, questions, pictures or films, republish them, use them to build, sell or teach another course, or use them to train or test any artificial intelligence system. Each lesson shows the name of the account holder, and we keep a record of which account opened it.
Search engines and AI assistants: our clinical library is free with an account, and we want doctors to find it. Search engines and AI assistants may read our public pages to answer a person's question, quote a short extract, and link to the page on GPAtlas so the reader can see the topic in full.
No other copying, by anyone: apart from that, no person, company or automated system may copy, scrape, store, republish or sell our content, collect it into a database or dataset, use it to train, fine-tune or test any artificial intelligence system, or use it in any product, service, course or publication that is sold or makes money, without our written permission. This applies to visitors and automated systems as well as to account holders, and our robots.txt file gives automated systems the same rules. Using what you learn here in your own clinical practice is exactly what it is for. Nothing here limits what the law allows, such as quoting for criticism or review.
9. Account Conduct and Security
Each account is for individual use only. Sharing login credentials is a material breach of these Terms. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account where misuse is detected, with no refund for the remaining period except where the law requires one. To protect subscriber content we keep the automated usage records described in our Privacy Policy, and bulk copying, scraping or systematic downloading of the content is a material breach of these Terms. Those records exist to protect the service and its content, nothing else: they are never used to assess anyone's learning and never shared with employers or training programmes.
Fair use and protecting the content:
Free and trial accounts have a daily limit on how many different items can be opened in each part of GPAtlas. The limits sit well above what a person studying normally opens in a day, opening an item again the same day is always allowed, and the limits reset each day.
Members on a paid plan can download up to 20 different infographics a day as PDFs, each for their own personal use.
To protect the content from automated copying, any account, including a paid one, is paused automatically if it opens a very large number of different items within a few minutes. While an account is paused, its content cannot be opened; Mandatory Training is not affected. A paid account’s pause lifts by itself after 30 minutes, unless it is paused again within 24 hours.
A person reviews every pause. If your account was paused by mistake, we restore it as soon as we have looked. You can ask us to review a pause or a hold at any time through Contact Us.
10. CPD Tracking and Record Integrity
10.1 How CPD Credits Are Calculated:
GPAtlas uses a module-specific credit system. Credits are not manually entered by users; they are calculated automatically from verified engagement data as follows:
Ocean (Clinical Articles):
A section's credit is logged once the section has stayed on screen, in an open window, long enough to show that it has been read; a section scrolled straight past earns nothing. The user may also log a section, or the whole article, at once by confirming completion, and may choose, from the CPD control on each article, to log only the sections they confirm or to log nothing. Each article carries a maximum CPD credit cap derived from the estimated time to read and reflect on its clinical content, in line with the RCGP convention of approximately one credit per hour of learning. Exam-preparation material (AKT and SCA practice) and reference lists are excluded from this calculation. The cap is divided across the article's sections, so completing more sections earns more credit, up to the article maximum.
Echo Audio Summaries:
Credits equal audio duration (minutes) ÷ 60, awarded automatically when ≥85% of the audio has been played.
Echo podcasts:
Credits equal audio duration (minutes) ÷ 60, awarded automatically when ≥60% of the podcast has been played.
Scope Infographics:
A fixed 0.25 credits per infographic, awarded automatically when ≥85% of the infographic has been scrolled.
10.2 Nature of CPD Recording:
CPD records generated within GPAtlas reflect verified user interaction with educational content. For audio and visual content, completion is determined by engagement thresholds tracked by the platform. For Ocean articles, completion is determined by the time a section stays on screen while it is read, or by the user's confirmation, as the user chooses. While GPAtlas facilitates CPD documentation, it does not independently verify the depth of reflection or comprehension of each activity.
10.3 Session-Based Logging, 24-Hour Deduplication, and Immutability:
10.4 Certificate Verification:
Each CPD certificate issued by GPAtlas carries a unique
CPD Certificate ID
gpatlas.co.uk/cpd/verify
10.5 Your Responsibility for the CPD You Claim:
The credit values shown by GPAtlas are
guideline maxima
based on the typical time required to engage with and reflect on each activity (approximately one credit per hour of learning). You remain
solely responsible
10.6 User Personalisation of CPD Records:
Users may personalise their CPD Hub in the following ways. Neither option affects the integrity of the underlying CPD record:
Activity Deletion:
Users may remove any CPD activity from their CPD Hub at any time. Deleted activities are removed from view and excluded from certificate totals. The underlying engagement record is retained internally to preserve audit trails and certificate verification integrity.
Custom Display Titles:
Users may edit the display title of any CPD activity using the edit function in the CPD Hub. This changes only the label shown in the CPD Hub and on any downloaded PDF certificates. The underlying record, including credits earned, completion timestamps, and sections completed, remains immutable. The original content title can be restored at any time.
10.7 User Responsibility for Edits and Deletions:
The personalisation tools described in Section 10.6 are provided as a convenience only. By using them you acknowledge and accept the following:
Custom display titles are labels, not redesignations.
Editing the display title of a CPD activity does not change the underlying clinical content, topic, or subject matter of the activity you engaged with. The original, system-generated title and content remain the definitive record of what was completed.
You are solely responsible
for the accuracy and appropriateness of any custom title you apply. You must not use custom titles that misrepresent the nature of the activity, for example, relabelling a paediatric clinical topic as safeguarding, prescribing, or any other unrelated subject for the purpose of claiming CPD credit in a domain you have not actually covered.
GPAtlas does not review, verify, or endorse user-supplied titles.
No automated or human check is performed on custom titles before they are displayed or included on downloaded certificates.
Deletion is your choice and final.
Removing an activity is a user-initiated action and you accept any consequence of that removal on your personal CPD portfolio. GPAtlas retains the underlying engagement record internally for audit and certificate-verification integrity only.
No misuse
against any loss, claim, regulatory action, or professional consequence arising from your misuse of these tools, including but not limited to misrepresentation to an appraiser, the General Medical Council, an employer, or any other third party.
On request by a competent authority (for example, the General Medical Council or an appraiser with appropriate authority), GPAtlas may disclose the original system-generated title, timestamps, and engagement data for any CPD activity logged against your account.
10.8 Ask Expert and Self-Directed Learning Entries:
From within the AI Suite, you may log an Ask Expert question to your CPD Hub as a self-directed learning activity using the "+ CPD" control, and you may add your own reflection. Such entries record self-directed learning that you have chosen to log, rather than verified content engagement. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any such entry, and any reflection you add, accurately and honestly reflects learning you have genuinely undertaken. The user-responsibility and indemnity provisions in Sections 10.5 and 10.7 apply equally to these entries.
10.9 Mandatory Training Certificates:
Mandatory Training courses are written for general practice and mapped to national learning outcomes. GPAtlas is not accredited, verified or endorsed by Skills for Health or NHS England. Whether a course or certificate meets a requirement is for your employer to decide, and your employer remains responsible for confirming it meets local requirements, including any practical or face-to-face element. A practice staff account (a non-clinical role chosen at sign-up) opens Mandatory Training only; the rest of GPAtlas, including the AI tools and paid plans, is for registered healthcare professionals. Certificates can be checked at gpatlas.co.uk/mandatory-training/verify.
10.10 CPD read before joining:
If you read GPAtlas before joining, the CPD time recorded in your browser can be added to your record once, when you first sign in with a confirmed email address within 7 days of joining. Items read in the last 31 days count, up to 40 items and 10 hours; we check each item again before adding it, and date it the day you read it.
10.11 Your learning journey:
If you set up a learning journey, we plan it from our own library by fixed rules, not by AI: your chosen exam or appraisal date, your days and your ways to learn decide what each day brings, and a chapter finished early hands over to the next. Its emails go only to the days you chose; every step is a suggestion, and you can change your days, pause a week or stop the emails at any time from the email itself or your Account settings. The CPD shown beside a step is the CPD Hub's own figure for that item and is recorded only when you complete it there. The journey is a study aid: it does not certify learning, and your appraisal record remains your responsibility under section 10.5.
11. FourteenFish API Integration
We offer an optional integration with the FourteenFish Partner API, allowing you to send your CPD entries and certificates directly to your FourteenFish Portfolio from your CPD Hub, from Ocean articles and Ask Expert answers you have logged for CPD, and from the Portfolio & Appraisal Hub, each with an optional one-page PDF record of the activity.
By choosing to link your FourteenFish account, you grant GPAtlas explicit authorisation to act on your behalf to transmit this data to your FourteenFish portfolio.
GPAtlas acts solely as a secure transmitter of this data. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or subsequent handling of your data within the FourteenFish platform.
You remain solely responsible for verifying that all transferred entries appear correctly within your FourteenFish Portfolio and for managing your portfolio. Your use of the FourteenFish platform is governed by their separate terms of service.
You may revoke this authorisation at any time via your GPAtlas account settings. Revoking access will prevent any future data from being sent.
11.6. Intellectual Property Acknowledgement:
