Health information disclaimer
Veridia provides general educational information for UK readers. It is not a medical practice and does not provide individual diagnosis, treatment or emergency advice.
1. General scope
Articles discuss nutrition, prostate health, vitality, diabetes, weight and related topics at a general level. They cannot account for a reader’s complete history, examination, test results or medicines.
2. No clinical relationship
Reading a page, sending a message or receiving an editorial reply does not create a clinician-patient relationship. Editorial staff cannot prescribe, interpret urgent symptoms or change treatment.
3. Symptoms
New, severe or persistent symptoms should be discussed with a GP or suitable NHS service. Call emergency services for an emergency rather than waiting for an online response.
4. Medicines
Do not stop, start or alter medicine because of a Veridia article. Food and supplements can interact with medicines, so use a pharmacist or prescribing clinician for individual advice.
5. Evidence
Research can be mixed, limited or evolving. We aim to describe uncertainty and update pages, but cannot guarantee that every statement remains current after publication.
6. Individual variation
Age, diagnosis, allergies, culture, access, budget and preferences affect what is safe and realistic. A general suggestion is not a personal plan.
7. External sources
Links may lead to external organisations. Veridia does not control those sites and readers should review their terms, privacy information and professional status.
8. Commercial separation
Any advertising is separated from editorial work. A commercial placement does not amount to endorsement or a guarantee of a health result.
9. Contact
Questions about this disclaimer can be sent to 78 Elmwood Gardens, Islington, London, N1 1AB or 020 7946 0958.
10. Review history
This disclaimer was reviewed on 5 October 2026. Future material changes will be recorded with a date and described in the policy record.
The scope of this notice includes articles, guides, illustrations, search results, editorial correspondence and links displayed by Veridia. It does not create an assessment of an individual’s symptoms, history, medicines, test results or circumstances. Information can be useful for preparing questions, but it should not be treated as an instruction for a personal care decision.
When a topic involves symptoms, medication, food interactions or an existing diagnosis, the relevant professional may need information that Veridia cannot collect or verify. A pharmacist, GP or NHS service can consider that fuller context. In an emergency, use the appropriate emergency service rather than waiting for a website response.
Research summaries are checked for date, relevance and clarity, but evidence may be incomplete or disputed. A cited study may describe a group rather than an individual, and an association does not by itself establish a cause. Pages may be updated when guidance changes, with the review date shown near the title.
Veridia does not request confidential records through its contact form. If a reader sends sensitive information, access is limited to handling the enquiry and the material is normally removed from working systems within 30 days. General correspondence may be retained for up to 24 months for continuity, safeguarding and complaint handling.
Questions about this disclaimer can be sent to 78 Elmwood Gardens, Islington, London, N1 1AB, by calling 020 7946 0958, or through the contact page. We normally acknowledge a message within five working days and aim to respond within 10 working days. A concern about a website statement can include its URL, publication date and the specific wording at issue.
This disclaimer was reviewed on 5 October 2026. Veridia may revise it when the editorial service, relevant guidance or legal context changes, and future versions will show their effective date.
The notice applies to articles, guides, captions, illustrations, search results, contact replies and links displayed by Veridia. It does not create an assessment of symptoms, medical history, medicines, test results or personal circumstances. Readers can use the material to prepare questions, but the site cannot review the complete context that a qualified professional would consider. Information should therefore be read alongside, rather than instead of, appropriate personal support.
Veridia does not ask readers to send confidential records through the contact form. If such material is sent accidentally, access is limited to handling the message and the material is normally removed from working systems within 30 days. General correspondence may be retained for up to 24 months after the last substantive exchange. A legal, safeguarding or security issue may justify a longer period where the law permits or requires it.
Research summaries may describe groups, associations or provisional findings rather than individual outcomes. An association does not by itself establish a cause, and a cited source may not address a reader’s age, history, medication or other relevant factor. Pages are reviewed when guidance changes or a clear error is reported. The review date does not mean every external source remains unchanged.
Where a topic involves symptoms, medicines, food interactions or an existing condition, a GP, pharmacist or appropriate NHS service can consider the fuller context. In an emergency, use the appropriate emergency service rather than waiting for a website response. Veridia cannot monitor a reader after a page is viewed. A contact message is not monitored as an emergency channel.
Concerns about a statement can be sent to 78 Elmwood Gardens, Islington, London, N1 1AB, through the contact page or by calling 020 7946 0958. Include the page address, publication date and wording concerned, but do not include unnecessary sensitive details. We aim to acknowledge a report within five working days and provide an initial response within 10 working days. Corrections may involve a page update, a note or removal of material depending on the issue.
This disclaimer was reviewed on 5 October 2026. Veridia may revise it when the editorial service, source environment or legal context changes. A material revision will carry a new effective date so that readers can distinguish it from the version they previously viewed.
