Our editorial principles
We aim to make complex midlife health information understandable without stripping away important context. Claims should be proportionate to the evidence, uncertainty should be visible, and practical guidance should distinguish education from individualized medical care.
Sources and verification
Health claims should be supported by credible sources appropriate to the topic. Where a page has a source list or medical review record, those details are presented with the content so readers can see how it was supported.
Editorial review
Guides are edited for clarity, structure, sourcing and consistency, including checking that their claims match the sources they cite. Editorial review is different from medical review; our Medical Review Policy explains how that works.
Independence and updates
Commercial relationships should not determine editorial conclusions. Content may be updated when evidence, guidance, product information or our own standards change. Material errors are handled under our Corrections Policy.
