Our sister site www.totalhealth.co.uk has been officially certified by The Health On the Net Foundation (HON) which "promotes and guides the deployment of useful, reliable health related information on the Internet". HONcode is the oldest, most widely used ethical and trustworthy code for medical and health related information available anywhere on the Internet and we're delighted to be able to display their logo on our site.
Created in 1995, HON is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation, accredited to the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. More from their website; "HON focuses on the essential question of the provision of health information to citizens, information that respects ethical standards. To cope with the unprecedented volume of healthcare information available on the Net, the HONcode of conduct offers a multi-stakeholder consensus on standards to protect citizens from misleading health information".
Our Editor Bob Davidson says “I’m delighted to be approved for HONcode certification as it’s clear there’s a natural synergy between our two organisations. HON has an impeccable heritage and their objectives closely resemble our own. As a relatively new company I’m pleased to have their formal approval”.
