Syndication

Private sector

NHS Choices is the UK’s most popular health and wellbeing website, with over 8 million visitors each month. The website has over 100,000 pages of certified health information and advice, carefully arranged into subjects, topical events and categories that can be easily navigated by every visitor to the site. Popular, trusted and highly valued by the public, NHS Choices (www.nhs.uk) will add value to your online presence. Offering NHS Choices content for your customers means they are likely to spend more time using your website or content portal.

NHS syndicated content is arranged into the same helpful subjects, categories and events that make the main NHS Choices site so accessible. This means that you can easily display the right content to your audience at the right place and at the right time.

Our health and lifestyle content is produced by a multidisciplinary team of 35 writers, editors and multimedia journalists based in Skipton House, London, and a second office in Southampton.

All content created for the site is subject to a range of rigorous processes and professional approvals, including clinical accuracy, policy alignment and editorial quality. 

NHS Choices has adopted The Information Standard to maintain and improve its information production system and the quality of information on the website.
