Editorial Policy
Our commitment to accuracy, integrity, and clinical responsibility
Our Content Philosophy
At Glintcare Wellness and Medical Centre, we are committed to providing accurate, evidence-based, and compassionate mental health information. Our editorial content is designed to educate, inform, and empower individuals seeking mental health and wellness support. All content is created with the wellbeing of our readers as the highest priority.
Medical Review Process
All health-related content published on our website is reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals before publication. Our medical review team includes consultant psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and registered therapists who verify clinical accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current evidence-based practices. Content is reviewed at minimum every six months or sooner if significant new research emerges.
Content Creation Workflow
Our content creation follows a structured workflow: 1. Topic selection based on patient needs and search intent. 2. Research using peer-reviewed journals, clinical guidelines, and reputable health sources. 3. Drafting by qualified writers with mental health expertise. 4. Medical review by a licensed clinician. 5. Editorial review for readability, SEO, and brand voice. 6. Legal review for compliance and disclaimer accuracy. 7. Publication with author and reviewer attribution. 8. Ongoing monitoring for accuracy and relevance.
Fact-Checking Standards
All factual claims, statistics, and clinical recommendations in our content are verified against authoritative sources including peer-reviewed medical journals (The Lancet, JAMA Psychiatry, British Journal of Psychiatry), clinical practice guidelines (NICE, WHO, Ministry of Health Kenya), and reputable health organisations (WHO, Africa CDC, Kenya Medical Research Institute). Statistics specific to Kenya and East Africa are prioritised where available.
Review Schedule
Medical content is reviewed on a rolling six-month schedule. Content is flagged for early review when: significant new research changes clinical understanding, updated clinical guidelines are published, patient safety concerns arise, or regulatory requirements change. Readers are encouraged to check the "last reviewed" date on each article.
Sources and Citations
We cite sources for all clinical claims, statistics, and treatment recommendations. Our sources include peer-reviewed research, established clinical guidelines, government health authorities, and recognised medical institutions. Where specific studies or guidelines are referenced, we aim to provide direct links or sufficient detail for readers to verify the information.
Corrections Policy
If an error is identified in our content, we commit to correcting it promptly and transparently. Corrections are categorised as: minor (typographical, grammatical) — corrected without notice; significant (factual error that does not affect clinical safety) — corrected with an update note; critical (error that could affect health decisions) — corrected immediately with a prominent correction notice. Readers who identify potential errors are encouraged to contact us at our editorial address.
