What medical review means
A “medically reviewed” label means a suitably qualified health professional has checked the page for clinical accuracy against current guidance. Reviewer name, qualification and role are shown on the page along with the review date.
Content awaiting review
Pages that have not yet been reviewed show an honest “review pending” status. We never invent a reviewer to make a page look more authoritative than it is.
Review cycle
Reviewed content is scheduled for re-review so it stays current. The next planned review date is shown on each page.
Consumer Health is an independent health-information resource. We are not the NHS or a government body.
