Governance

Editorial & clinical review policy

Clear writing is useful only if the underlying information is reliable.

Short answer

Clinical pages are designed around primary sources, explicit review dates and clear separation between explanation and individual medical advice.

Workflow

Our process

1Define the question

Each page should answer a real user question rather than exist purely for search traffic.

2Use authoritative sources

NICE, NHS, professional regulators and medicines guidance are prioritised.

3Write for understanding

We explain the practical meaning, not just quote guidance.

4Review clinical pages

The site is structured to display named author/reviewer details as the clinical review programme expands.

5Date and update

Changing information is reviewed more frequently than stable background content.

Boundaries

What we avoid

We avoid diagnosing readers, recommending a particular prescription or dose, presenting screening tools as diagnosis, and disguising commercial interests as independent editorial judgement.
