The people behind the pages

Editorial team and medical reviewers

A small group of writers and editors works with independent medical reviewers. Their names, roles and areas of review are listed here so readers know who stands behind each article.

Editors and writers

Who writes and edits

The editorial desk meets weekly in Kebayoran Baru to agree topics, review drafts and read reader messages. Writers are responsible for research and drafting; editors are responsible for accuracy of sourcing, clarity and tone.

None of the editorial staff offer clinical services through Zandrel, and none are paid by companies whose products are discussed in our articles.

  • Reviewers must hold a recognised qualification and be registered where registration applies.
  • They must declare any financial relationship with a company, clinic or product connected to the topic, and are excused from articles where a conflict exists.
  • The reviewer's name and review date appear in each article.
  • Reviewers do not provide diagnosis or advice to readers through Zandrel.
