Our in-house content team comprises experienced writers, journalists and editors as well as SEO experts, videographers and website content managers. Between them they have an extensive knowledge of the healthcare industry and our key medical specialties.
They specialise in informative and accessible content that helps people to make informed choices about their health. Our useful health content conveys complex information in a digestible manner.
Whether it's a blog post or a treatment guide, our content team wants to give you all the information you need in a format that makes sense to real people.
Circle Health Group works closely with a number of highly experienced copywriters, many of whom have medical backgrounds. We choose writers who can translate complex medical jargon into simple and human language, without losing any important information.
Everything written by our external copywriters undergoes rigorous in-house checks, and all new clinical content is checked by at least one relevant expert.
Circle Health Group works with more than 6,000 consultants across the UK, many of whom are leading the way when it comes to medical treatment and pioneering new research.
Our expansive clinical team includes experts from a variety of disciplines, from radiographers to chartered physiotherapists.
Our clinical content is guided by our clinicians, whether that means checking our copy or videos for medical accuracy, or providing the content itself. These are the experts we trust to keep things clinically correct and up to date.
Where possible, we've given a direct link through to the profiles of our expert reviewers.
Our website is constantly under review by our in-house team, who follow a strict protocol of rigorous checks for every page published or updated.
Our editors have significant experience in the healthcare sector as well as other industries, and our editorial standards are as important as our clinical requirements.
Whether written by our copywriters or directly by a clinician, all content is assessed by our in-house editors. Information is checked against authoritative sources (for example NHS, NICE or the relevant medical body) as well as our own clinical resources.
Any statistics or the like are clearly referenced and linked to the source where appropriate.
In the case of all new content, and any content that falls outside of our in-house team's expertise, our editors reach out to a relevant expert for clinical review and guidance.
Pages are checked at least every three years to ensure that our clinical content is up to date and that we still think the content is serving our patients as it should.
