Content may involve one or more of the following roles:
Author: the person responsible for drafting or substantially contributing to the page.
Clinical reviewer: a qualified clinician who checks the medical accuracy, risk balance and treatment suitability statements.
Pharmacy reviewer: a pharmacist who checks medicines, prescribing, dispensing, contraindication and patient-safety statements.
Editorial reviewer: a reviewer who checks clarity, structure, page consistency, source use, dates, links and formatting.
Clinical reviewer selection matches the topic. Doctor-led medical diagnosis, hormone therapy, prescription treatment and treatment-planning pages normally have a GMC-registered doctor as clinical reviewer.
Medicines, prescribing, dispensing and pharmacy-governance statements may also be reviewed by a GPhC-registered pharmacist.
Clinical pages should be reviewed at least every 12 months. Review dates should be visible on the page.
When a page is reviewed, record:
If a reviewer identifies a clinical risk, unclear claim, unsupported outcome statement or outdated safety information, the page should not be marked as reviewed until the issue is corrected.
Urgent clinical or regulatory corrections should be prioritised over routine content updates.
