NowPatient's medical content is selected by a panel of practising clinicians (pharmacists, doctors and allied healthcare professionals) and researched by an in-house team of writers who all hold scientific or clinical backgrounds. Sponsorship and conflicts of interest are openly declared.

Every article is peer-reviewed by a clinician for clinical accuracy, evidence base and accessibility, including consideration of the particular characteristics set out in the UK Equality Act 2010. Only then is it released for publication against fixed placement guidelines.

All content is cycle reviewed (typically every two years) and updated sooner if evidence, guidelines or a complaint require it. Changes follow a formal change control procedure and are reflected in the "last updated" date on each article.
