Contact Us

We read every message that comes through this page.

What we can help with

• Corrections. If an article contains an error, is out of date, or is unclear, tell us which article and what the problem is. Corrections are the most useful mail we receive.
• Topic suggestions. If there is a condition or question you could not find a clear explanation of anywhere, let us know.
• Editorial and permissions queries. Requests to quote, translate or reference our material.
• Advertising and partnership enquiries.

What we cannot help with

We cannot give personal medical advice. Please do not send symptoms, test reports, scans or prescriptions asking what is wrong or what you should take. We are not able to answer those questions responsibly without examining you, and doing so would be unsafe.

If you have a health concern, see a doctor. If your situation is urgent, contact emergency services or go to the nearest hospital.
