Medical Review Policy

When medical review is required

Articles that materially compare prescription treatments, discuss diagnosis, summarize clinical risks or benefits, or could reasonably influence a healthcare decision should be reviewed by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional before publication.

What review means

n

Medical review checks factual accuracy, context, terminology and whether the page overstates evidence. A reviewer should not be presented as endorsing a commercial product or provider unless they explicitly do so.

n

Do not label a page medically reviewed until a real qualified reviewer has completed that review.
