Corrections

Corrections policy

Anything published here can be wrong. This is how to tell us, and what happens next.

How to report an error

Use the Bodywise contact page. It helps if you include the page address, the sentence or figure you think is wrong, and — where you have one — the source that shows it.

What counts as a correction

  • A factual error: a wrong number, a misstated finding, a misattributed source.
  • A safety problem: advice that could reasonably lead a reader to harm.
  • A citation problem: a broken link, or a source that does not support the claim made from it.
  • A clarity problem where the wording could be read as advice the page did not intend.

Ordinary editing — tightening wording, adding an example, restructuring a section — is not a correction and is not logged as one.

How quickly things are handled

Reports are read by the editor, Chris Mann Dip.IOPN, who is the person who wrote the page. Anything with a plausible safety implication is prioritised, and where a claim cannot be verified quickly it is removed or qualified while it is checked rather than left standing. Other corrections are made as part of normal editing. Because this is a one-person publication, no guaranteed response time is promised — that would be a commitment the Hub cannot honour.

How corrections are shown

  • Significant corrections — where the meaning, a recommendation or a figure changes — are stated on the page itself, so a returning reader can see that something changed and what it was.
  • Minor fixes — typography, a replaced dead link, a clarified sentence with unchanged meaning — are made silently, and the page's review date is updated.
  • Withdrawal — if a page cannot be made accurate, it is withdrawn rather than patched, and the address is redirected to the closest correct page.

Pages are never quietly rewritten to disguise an earlier error, and a review date is never changed without a genuine review.

What this policy does not cover

The Hub cannot give individual advice, review your programme, or comment on symptoms, injuries or medical conditions by email. If something is wrong with your health, that is a matter for a qualified clinician. Read alongside the editorial standards and the evidence and referencing policy.
