Medical team and review standard

Profile publication criteria

A clinician profile requires a full name, specialty, registration or diploma verification, defined role, and a current verification date.

What our verification checklist covers

Before a profile is published, each of the following points is checked against documentary evidence:

• Identity: the full name matches official documents
• Qualification: the diploma or specialist certificate, checked with the issuing body or an official register where possible
• Registration: current professional registration or licence to practise, where applicable
• Role: what the person actually does in relation to our content or patient coordination
• Consent: written agreement to be named and pictured on this site
• Review date: when the checks were carried out and when they are due again

Current status

No verified clinician profiles are currently published here. We therefore do not attribute medical review to an unnamed or unverified person.

Profiles will be added to this page as verification is completed; until then, this page describes only the standard we apply.

Keeping profiles current

Verification is not a one-off step. Each profile shows the date it was last checked. If a registration lapses, a role changes, or the evidence can no longer be confirmed, the profile is updated or removed.

The treating clinician

The clinician who would carry out any treatment is responsible for your assessment and for medical decisions. Before agreeing to a procedure, we recommend that you ask for their name, specialty, and registration details and check them yourself with the relevant official body.
