Editorial Policy
How we create and maintain trustworthy medical content.
Our commitment
The Thyroidologist provides medical education for patients. We are committed to accuracy, clarity and honesty — because health decisions depend on trustworthy information.
How content is produced
- Evidence-based — content reflects established medical knowledge and recognised clinical guidelines.
- Authoritative sources — pages reference established organisations such as the American Thyroid Association, NHS, NIDDK, Endocrine Society, National Cancer Institute and WHO.
- No fabrication — we do not invent statistics, citations, credentials, testimonials, or treatment claims.
- Clear scope — content is educational, not personalised medical advice. Every page carries a medical disclaimer.
Review and updates
Medical pages display a "last medically reviewed" date. Content is reviewed periodically and updated when guidelines or evidence change materially. If you believe information is outdated or incorrect, please contact us.
Physician credentials
We publish physician names, qualifications and registration numbers only after they are verified. Where details are pending verification, this is stated explicitly rather than guessed.
Advertising and independence
We do not accept payment to influence medical content. Recommendations are based on clinical evidence and patient need.
Corrections
If an error is identified, we correct it promptly and, where significant, note the update on the affected page.
