Guideline 30

The Thyroid UK forum guidelines are always accessible on this pinned post:

Forum Posting Guidelines

healthunlocked.com/thyroidu...

We ask that all members read them and very much hope you do so. However, in time, we can forget what was there, or misremember, or whatever.

Hence, I am posting this short reminder of the guidelines in full.

And (today) of this specific item:

30. Do not post information about specific endocrinologists or doctors on the main board without their permission as this may result in unwanted attention from certain areas of the medical profession. If you wish to discuss a particular endocrinologist or doctor, you may mention his/her name and location, providing that you ask for comments by private message only.

The admins are not in a position to be able to ensure the accuracy of this sort of information. Nor can we take on the legal issues which can result from any form of defamation.

Some practitioners may not wish to be discussed in public.

Nor is it acceptable on the basis that public recommendation or endorsement is effectively promoting the practitioner.

Note that HealthUnlocked’s own guidelines also apply:
