Medical Review Policy

The Menopause Directory publishes general menopause information and provider signposting. It does not diagnose, treat or replace advice from a GP, pharmacist, menopause specialist or emergency service.

How health content is handled

Health-related content should be written in plain UK English, avoid unsupported claims, and encourage readers to speak to qualified healthcare professionals where appropriate.

Clinical or treatment-related pages should be reviewed against trusted UK sources such as NHS, NICE, the British Menopause Society or relevant professional guidance where appropriate.

What we do not do

  • We do not diagnose symptoms.
  • We do not tell readers to start, stop or change medication.
  • We do not provide emergency advice beyond signposting to urgent help.
  • Paid placement does not imply clinical endorsement.

Medical review approach

The Menopause Directory publishes general information and signposting content. It does not diagnose, prescribe or replace advice from a GP, pharmacist, menopause specialist, mental health professional or emergency service.

Content that discusses symptoms, appointments, menopause support options or treatment-related questions should be written cautiously, reviewed regularly and aligned with trusted UK sources where appropriate. Prescription treatment information should be checked against official patient information and clinical guidance rather than copied from third-party websites.

Pages with higher medical risk should be prioritised for review by an appropriately qualified clinician or specialist before being promoted widely.

  • Use UK English and cautious wording.
  • Avoid unsupported clinical claims.
  • Separate general information from personal advice.
  • Escalate urgent or red-flag symptoms to appropriate urgent help.
