Editorial & Clinical Review Checklist

Before publishing

• Check that each medical claim is supported by a topic-relevant, credible source.
• Confirm local applicability, recommendation dates and any age-specific guidance.
• Have a qualified clinician review clinical content; record name, credentials, scope and date only after review occurs.
• Use plain language and non-stigmatising, inclusive examples.
• Check for false certainty, guaranteed outcomes, unsupported statistics or unverified treatments.
• Include relevant safety guidance, limits and when to seek care.
• Add meaningful alt text and test headings, contrast, keyboard access and mobile display.
• Verify all links and review date-sensitive information on a schedule.

Important: This internal checklist does not count as clinical review itself.
