Links to your website
If you would like NHS Choices to link to your website please download our links self-assessment form (PDF) to check if your site is likely to meet our criteria.
To submit a link for consideration, please email weblinks@nhschoices.nhs.uk.
NHS Choices includes links to hundreds of external websites. These links are provided to give users quick access to the widest possible range of high quality information resources on health.
We take great care over the websites we link to and review them regularly, but NHS Choices is not responsible for the content of those sites. The inclusion of a link to an external website from NHS Choices should not, therefore, be interpreted as an endorsement of that site, its content, or any product or service it may provide.
Transactions between users and any external site are not the responsibility of NHS Choices.
How our links are chosen
Before we link to an external website we perform a rigorous check to assess its suitability. We do not link to sites in return for cash, services or any other consideration in kind.
It is a requirement of all websites that we link to that they:
- are free to access,
- do not require registration to view basic content,
- and make a clear distinction between normal editorial content and any advertising they may carry.
We also ask that external websites should:
- clearly state their sources of funding,
- have a quality assurance procedure,
- present a responsible perspective, reflecting the existence of choices,
- are regularly reviewed and kept up to date, and
- on health matters, use current and reliable clinical evidence that is verifiable from other sources,
- contain a link to www.nhs.uk
