Author

This site is written and medically reviewed by one author. Medical information is only as trustworthy as the person behind it, so here is who that is.

Template page — edit before going live Replace every bracketed placeholder below with your real details. This page does more work than any other on the site: it is what readers, search reviewers and AdSense assessors use to decide whether the content is written by someone qualified to write it. A health site with an anonymous author is treated very differently from one with a named, credentialed one.

How articles are reviewed

Every article is drafted against national and international guidelines and standard operative texts, then checked line by line before publication. Reviewed articles carry a Medically reviewed mark and a date. The full process is set out in the editorial policy.

What I do not do here

I do not give individual medical advice, do not answer clinical questions about your own case by email or in the comments, and do not accept referrals or arrange treatment. This is a publication, not a practice.

Declarations of interest

[State any commercial relationships, sponsorships, device-manufacturer affiliations or employment that could be seen to influence what is published. If there are none, say so explicitly — readers of medical content are right to look for this.]
