Medical Editorial Policy
This page explains how TailorDoc creates, reviews and maintains its health content.
We write for patients considering hip or knee replacement abroad. Most are in the UK, in their sixties or seventies, weighing up private surgery in Spain after years on NHS waiting lists. Decisions at that point of life are not casual. The content we publish reflects that.
- WHO WRITES OUR CONTENT
Our articles are drafted in-house by the TailorDoc Editorial Team and coordinated by Carlos Senent, founder of TailorDoc. Carlos has spent the last 3 years organising hip and knee replacement journeys for British patients, working directly with the surgical and rehabilitation teams in Valencia and Dénia. His role is editorial: tone, structure, patient relevance and making sure each article answers the questions patients actually ask. He is not a clinician, and no clinical claim is published on his judgement alone.
Day-to-day drafting draws on patient conversations, surgical consultations and clinical input from our medical reviewers. We do not commission articles from external content agencies.
- WHO REVIEWS OUR CONTENT
Clinical accuracy is owned by qualified clinicians, not by the editorial team. Every article touching on clinical content (surgery, anaesthesia, recovery timelines, complications, rehabilitation, implant choice) is reviewed and signed off by:
Dr Fernando Corbí Aguirre, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Hospital Vithas 9 de Octubre, Valencia (colegiado nº [confirmar dato]). Specialist in hip and knee replacement using the direct anterior approach for hip and the subvastus approach for knee, with Zimmer Biomet implant systems. Dr Corbí performs the surgeries TailorDoc coordinates. His independent professional profile can be checked on Doctoralia.
For rehabilitation, mobility and post-operative content, articles are additionally reviewed by the physiotherapy team at Medifit Dénia, who run the twelve-night residential rehabilitation programme that follows surgery.
No clinical article goes live until the relevant reviewer has signed it off. Where an article covers a topic outside the direct expertise of our reviewers, we cite peer-reviewed external sources rather than offer opinion.
- SOURCES WE USE
We rely on primary clinical sources, not aggregators or general health portals. Our typical references include:
- NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) clinical guidelines.
- NHS England data on waiting times and procedure volumes.
- British Orthopaedic Association (BOA) guidance and position statements.
- American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) clinical practice guidelines.
- Peer-reviewed journals: Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, BMJ, The Lancet Rheumatology, Cochrane systematic reviews.
- Sociedad Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología (SECOT) publications.
- Manufacturer technical documentation for the implant systems we work with.
Every clinical claim is cited inline. If a figure or claim cannot be properly sourced, we either qualify it or remove it.
- HOW OFTEN WE UPDATE
We review every clinical article at least once a year. Articles covering fast-moving topics (waiting list data, surgical techniques, implant innovations) are reviewed every six months. The date of the most recent review appears at the top of each article.
When new evidence changes what we previously published, we update the article and note what changed at the bottom of the page.
- EDUCATIONAL, NOT MEDICAL ADVICE
Everything we publish is meant to help patients understand their options. It is not a substitute for a clinical consultation with a qualified doctor. We do not recommend specific procedures, implants or treatment plans through articles. Those decisions belong to a consultation with a surgeon, after imaging and a proper assessment.
If you are considering surgery, speak to your GP, your consultant, or contact us to arrange a clinical assessment with Dr Corbí.
- EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
TailorDoc coordinates surgery and rehabilitation as a paid service, and our founder coordinates the editorial work. We are upfront about both. To stop the commercial side shaping clinical content, accuracy is decided by our medical reviewers, who sign off independently of any commercial consideration. Articles are written to help readers make a good decision, even when the right decision is not to use TailorDoc.
If a topic cannot be covered without crossing into promotion, we do not publish it.
- HOW WE CORRECT ERRORS
If you spot an error in any of our articles (factual, clinical, statistical or otherwise), email editorial@tailordoc.fusiongeek.io. We take corrections seriously.
Our process:
- We acknowledge your message within two working days.
- We check the claim against the original sources and consult our medical reviewers where needed.
- If a correction is warranted, we update the article and add a visible “Updated [date]” note explaining what changed.
- We reply to you confirming the outcome.
We do not silently edit articles after publication. Substantive changes are always noted.
