Net Doctor
NetDoctor.co.uk is a collaboration between committed doctors, health care professionals, information specialists and patients who believe that medical practice should be based on quality-assessed information and, wherever possible, on the basis of the principles of evidence-based medicine.
Over 250 of the UK's and Europe's leading doctors and health professionals write, edit and update the contents of NetDoctor.co.uk. In addition to creating written content for the patient these same health professionals respond to user’s questions and concerns regarding general health concerns.
They state that their “editorial independence and reliance on professional advice is their single most important asset. There is a clear distinction between the editorial and business staff. As a matter of policy our doctors, writers and editors are not allowed to be influenced or answerable to our sponsors or advertisers. We follow the same standards of practice as the leading medical journals.”
NetDoctor.co.uk funds its activities by advertising, sponsorship and content syndication with a range of selected commercial organisations, including pharmaceutical companies, information service providers and other electronic and print media publishers. None of the funding source providers has any editorial control over NetDoctor's content, which is developed independently and guided only by accepted medical opinion. All material published on the NetDoctor web site is commissioned directly from UK health professionals
