About Consumer Health

Consumer Health is an independent health-information resource. We are not the NHS, a government department or a regulator.

We bring together clear information on health conditions, treatments, medicines, mental health, healthy living and your rights as a patient — alongside a directory to help you find care.

• Trusted — grounded in recognised, authoritative sources.
• Clear — plain English, well organised, easy to act on.
• Independent — editorial decisions kept separate from commercial interests.
• Human — written for real people making real decisions.

Our editorial standards, medical-review process and sources are set out in detail on the pages linked here. Content awaiting review is labelled honestly rather than presented as final.
