Contact

We are glad to hear from readers — particularly about corrections, articles that have gone out of date, and topics you think deserve coverage.

Email

The editorial team can be reached at [email protected]. Every message is read. We usually reply within a few working days.

What to write about

  • Corrections. If something in an article is wrong or has been overtaken by current guidance, tell us which page and what the issue is.
  • Suggestions. A health topic you would like to see explained in plain language.
  • Permissions. Questions about reusing material from the site.

What we cannot help with

We cannot answer personal medical questions, interpret your symptoms or test results, recommend or comment on a treatment or medicine, or tell you whether you should see a doctor. We are not qualified to do any of that, and we will not attempt it by email.

For anything concerning your own health, contact a doctor, pharmacist or your local health service. If you think you are facing a medical emergency, contact your local emergency number immediately rather than writing to us.
