✦Dating: pages carry a reviewed by line with the review month, so you can judge how current the advice is.
✦Updates: clinical pages are re checked at least annually, and immediately when practice, guidelines or scheme coverage change.
✦Uncertainty: where evidence is limited or opinions differ, the page says so instead of presenting one view as settled.
