Editorial policy

Sources

Facts, prices and rules come from official or professional sources, which are linked at the end of each guide. If we cannot verify something, we leave it out.

Balance

We explain NHS and private options side by side and do not make treatment promises or claims such as "best" or "painless".

Local examples

Some guides mention a local practice as one example of where to get care. Practice details are taken from the practice's own published information and are not an endorsement over other providers.

Updates

NHS charges usually change each April. Each guide shows the date it was written or last updated.
