Corrections Policy

Medicine evolves and, occasionally, so must our content. This policy explains how to report an error, what we do when one is found, and how corrections are recorded transparently.

Report an error

If you believe anything we publish is inaccurate, outdated or misleading, write to [email protected] with the page link and a short description. Reports from clinicians are especially welcome and are routed directly to medical review.

What happens next

  • Reports touching medical accuracy are assessed under the Medical Review Board process; editorial issues are handled by the editorial team.
  • Confirmed factual errors are corrected promptly. Material corrections update the page’s review date; where the error could have affected a reader’s understanding of a health decision, a correction note is added.
  • Content that cannot be brought to standard is unpublished rather than left to mislead.

What we do not change

Differences of clinical opinion within accepted practice, and complaints aimed at removing accurate but unwelcome information, are not treated as errors. Where reputable sources genuinely disagree, our content reflects that disagreement.
