Editorial Policy

This page sets out how the guides on Informed Surgery in Siam are made, and the rules we hold ourselves to. The short version: independent, sourced, and reviewed by a doctor.

How guides are researched and written

We write from recognised, independent sources rather than clinic marketing, and we cite them at the foot of each guide. Among the references we lean on are Joint Commission International (JCI), the NHS, GOV.UK travel guidance, and CDC and WHO travel-health material.

Medical review

Guides covering clinical and safety topics are reviewed by a UK-registered GP with an interest in travel and medical tourism before they are published. Reviewed guides show the reviewer’s name, credentials, and the date of review. Our current reviewer is Dr Helen Ward, MBBS, MRCGP.

Independence is the whole point

We take no payment from any hospital, clinic, surgeon, agency, or broker, and we do not earn commission for referrals. We name no preferred provider. Because the entire value of this site is that it is not selling you anything, any future commercial arrangement would be disclosed prominently, and we would rather have none.

Keeping guides current

Prices, programmes, and travel rules change, so we revisit guides and update them as things move. Each guide carries its publication date and, where relevant, when it was last updated or reviewed.

Corrections

If something here is wrong or out of date, tell us through the Contact page and we will look into it.
