Our editorial process
Every guide is written by the Pulse Atlas editorial team from the UK sources listed on the page.
How guides are made
Written in-house from primary UK sources.
Guides are drafted by the Pulse Atlas editorial team from primary sources - NICE, the Royal Colleges, ESC, the BNF and the peer-reviewed literature - and checked against those sources before publication.
Every published guide is re-checked on a rolling 12-month cycle, and sooner where a NICE update, licensing change or major trial materially shifts the picture. If something is wrong, we fix it, timestamp the change, and flag material corrections at the top of the page.
The guides do not recommend individual clinics or consultants. They are written to explain, not to sell you a scan or point you to a provider.
The workflow
Brief, draft, check, publish, re-check.
- 01
Brief from primary sources
The editorial team writes a brief from NICE, RCP, RCOG, RCR, ESC and the peer-reviewed literature - not from other patient sites, and never from clinic marketing.
- 02
Draft in plain English
A writer drafts the guide against the brief and the Pulse Atlas style guide - patient-first, jargon-explained, red flags flagged.
- 03
Check against sources
The draft is checked against the cited sources for accuracy, clarity and red-flag wording.
- 04
Publish with date
The guide goes live with its last-checked date visible on the page.
- 05
Re-check on cadence
Guides are re-checked on a rolling 12-month cycle, and sooner where guidance or evidence changes materially.
