SHAPE Singapore Clinical Review Policy
What “reviewed” means, when a clinical review is required and what readers should expect to see.
We do not invent reviewers
A label appears only after a real review
SHAPE does not add a doctor’s name, qualification or review badge for appearance. Until a suitably qualified professional has checked an article, the page remains clearly labelled as general editorial information. A source list is useful, but it is not the same as individual clinical review.
Which pages need extra review
Higher-risk advice receives the highest standard
Symptoms, screening, pregnancy, medication, eating disorders, chronic disease and treatment decisions are priority areas. The reviewer should have qualifications relevant to that exact subject. A physiotherapist may review rehabilitation guidance, while a registered dietitian is a better fit for clinical nutrition.
What a named review will show
Identity, scope and date stay visible
- The reviewer’s real name and relevant credentials.
- A profile explaining professional scope and affiliations.
- The date of the review and the sources considered.
- Clear limits where evidence or individual needs differ.
Current review status
No silent claim of a medical board
Articles without a named reviewer have not been represented as medically reviewed. SHAPE is building a transparent contributor network and welcomes qualified Singapore professionals through the expert contribution page. Corrections can be submitted through the editorial desk.
