Read the accessibility guideHow these guides are written
Every guide is written and checked by our editor, Matthew Collins, following the editorial policy. We rely on regulators, legislation and official guidance first. Where we use a law firm summary or a commercial publisher, the source list says so. The guides explain how rules affect websites; they are not legal or medical advice, and a clinic's own advisers should confirm anything that affects a specific decision.
Each guide shows the date it was last checked. If you spot something out of date or wrong, email hello@cliniquorix.site and we will review it.
