How we make money

Publications that hide their funding model usually have one worth hiding. Here is ours.

What we do

  • Clinic directory listings. Marked as paid. Paying does not affect editorial coverage.
  • Sponsored features. Clearly labelled, held to the same standard, never presented as independent editorial.
  • Affiliate links. Disclosed where used. Commission never determines a recommendation.
  • Newsletter sponsorship. Labelled in the email.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell editorial links.
  • We do not let advertisers review coverage before publication.
  • We do not remove critical coverage for commercial reasons.
  • We do not run programmatic display advertising.

Our publisher's other interests

Northbank Media publishes several specialist titles and works with organisations in the sectors those titles cover. Where a company we link to has a commercial relationship with our publisher we disclose it on the article. Readers are better served by disclosure than by pretending such relationships do not exist.
