Report a possible error

Use the Contact page to send the article address, the statement or number you believe is wrong, and a supporting source if available. Do not include personal medical records or other sensitive health information. The contact form is not a service for individual treatment advice.

Assessment

The publishing editor checks the concern against the cited source and other relevant evidence. A disagreement about interpretation is considered alongside the methods and limitations; it does not automatically establish an error. No fixed response time is promised.

How changes are recorded

Minor spelling, formatting and broken-link repairs may be made without a separate correction note when meaning is unchanged.

Errors affecting a study result, dose, safety statement, evidence grade or conclusion should receive a dated correction note on the affected article stating what changed and why. The substantive review date should also be updated when the evidence assessment changes.

New evidence should be labelled as an update rather than a correction unless the original account was wrong. If an article’s central claim cannot be supported, it should be clearly marked as withdrawn or superseded with an explanation.

Newsletter corrections

If a material error was included in a newsletter, publish a correction on the linked article and communicate the correction to affected subscribers where feasible. Preserve a clear distinction between the original error and the corrected interpretation.
