When medical review is used
Content that makes clinically meaningful health or treatment claims may be reviewed by an appropriately qualified professional. Not every lifestyle, product or informational page requires medical review, and we do not imply a review has occurred when it has not.
Who can review
A medical reviewer is a registered healthcare professional with experience relevant to the topic, such as a doctor, pharmacist, nurse or registered dietitian. Their registration and credentials are verified before they are named.
Editorial review and medical review
Editorial review checks a page for clarity, structure, sourcing and consistency with the evidence it cites. Medical review is a separate check, by a qualified healthcare professional, of clinical accuracy, balance and safety. One does not stand in for the other.
What reviewers assess
Medical review focuses on clinical accuracy, appropriate framing, important limitations, risk context and whether the content clearly separates general education from individualized medical advice.
Where medical review is used, the reviewer, their credentials and the review date are identified on the relevant page.
