Sources & Corrections

Where our information comes from

Every Meetis guide ends with a numbered list of sources. These are the pages the guide was built from: mainly public health bodies, national health services and professional organisations. Where a source reflects one country’s guidance, the country is shown next to the publisher.

Sources change. Organisations update, move or withdraw pages. We test the links before publication, but a link that worked then may stop working later. If you find a broken link, please tell us.

Reporting an error

If you think a guide is inaccurate, out of date, unclear in a way that could mislead, or wrongly credits an image, write to the editorial contact address, which will be published on this page as soon as it is confirmed. It helps if you include:

  • the address (URL) of the guide;
  • the sentence or figure you think is wrong;
  • a source for the correct information, if you have one.

Each guide also has a “Report an error” link at the end.

What we do with a report

  1. We compare the statement with the guide’s sources and with current guidance from the bodies listed in our Editorial Standards.
  2. If the guide is wrong, we correct it. If the correction changes the facts or advice, we add an “Updated” date and a short note saying what changed.
  3. Small fixes that do not change meaning — spelling, formatting, a repaired link — are made without a note and without changing the date.
  4. If a guide cannot be made reliable, we remove it rather than leave it up.

What we cannot do

We cannot answer questions about your own health, symptoms, test results or treatment. Please do not send medical records or other health details about yourself; we do not need them and do not want to hold them. For personal questions, please speak to a qualified health professional.
