About Voddler.co.uk: Who We Are
Our aim is simple: to make trustworthy health information easier to find, understand and act on. Advice online can be confusing, contradictory or written for other countries, so we focus on what matters to people living in the UK.
We use the language of the NHS, such as GP, pharmacist, NHS 111 and A&E, and point you towards the right service at the right time. Our editorial team researches and writes every guide to inform, never to alarm.

How Our Guides Are Researched, Written and Checked
We follow the same careful approach for every guide:
- Trusted sources: our guides are based on guidance from the NHS website and NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), with the WHO and peer-reviewed research used for wider context.
- Plain English: we explain medical terms simply and focus on practical steps you can take.
- Careful checks: our editorial team checks each guide against its sources before it is published. We avoid guesswork, miracle claims and made-up figures.
- Kept up to date: we aim to update our guides when NHS or NICE guidance changes.
Mistakes can happen, so we welcome corrections. If something looks wrong or out of date, please tell us through our contact page.
What Voddler.co.uk Is Not
We share general health information, not medical care. We cannot diagnose conditions, recommend treatment for you personally or replace advice from a qualified health professional, and our content may not fit your circumstances.
Where to Get the Right Help
- Pharmacist: advice on minor illnesses and over-the-counter medicines.
- GP: symptoms that last, keep coming back or worry you, and ongoing conditions.
- NHS 111: call 111 or use NHS 111 online if you need urgent help but it is not an emergency.
- 999 or A&E: call 999 or go to A&E if someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk, for example with chest pain, severe difficulty breathing or signs of a stroke.
Never delay getting medical help because of something you have read online, including here.
