Medical review process

Last updated: 10 July 2026

Who reviews our content

Every page that makes a clinical claim — substance guides, symptom checkers, withdrawal timelines, treatment pathways, condition guides — is reviewed by our clinical team before publication. Our reviewer panel is made up of UK-registered clinicians: addiction physicians (GMC-registered), mental health nurses (NMC-registered) and addiction psychotherapists (BACP or UKCP-registered).

We verify every reviewer's registration against the relevant UK regulator (GMC, NMC, BACP, UKCP, HCPC) before they join the panel and again annually. Individual reviewer profiles are published at /authors/clinical-team as reviewers join the panel.

What "medically reviewed" means on this site

A reviewer checks that the page:

  • States clinical facts (dose, timing, withdrawal risk, red-flag symptoms) accurately and in line with the latest NICE, NHS or BNF guidance available at the time of review.
  • Uses appropriate red-flag warnings (e.g. blood in urine, seizure risk, suicidal ideation) and directs to 999 / NHS 111 / A&E where appropriate.
  • Does not overstate the likelihood of a specific outcome or the effectiveness of any single treatment.
  • Does not promote any specific clinic or medication in a way that misleads.

Medical review does not turn this site into a medical service. Reviewed pages are still educational; anyone in active crisis or requiring diagnosis should contact NHS 111 or their GP.

Review cadence

  • Every medical page is reviewed at least every 12 months.
  • Pages are re-reviewed immediately when NICE, NHS, MHRA or the drug's licensing changes materially.
  • The visible "last reviewed" date on each page reflects the most recent clinical review, not a copy-edit.

Conflicts of interest

Reviewers who work at a UK rehab provider we refer to may not review pages that name, rank or recommend that provider. We keep an internal declared-interests register and rotate reviewers accordingly.
