What we promise
- No adverts on any guide, and affiliate links kept apart. Product recommendations are kept on separate kit guides. A few guides include one clearly labelled affiliate link to a service (at present, the repeat prescriptions guide links to an online pharmacy alongside other options); those pages say so in a notice at the top. All other guides carry no affiliate links.
- Every guide points patients to the right NHS route, ending with when to call 999, use NHS 111, ask a pharmacist or contact the practice.
- Sourced and dated. Every fact comes from NHS.uk, NICE or another official source listed on the page, and each guide shows when it was last checked and when its next check is due.
- Short, stable addresses that won't change, so links in text messages and leaflets keep working.
- Free, with nothing for the practice or patients to sign up to.
