03Reading the news

A careful way to read medical news

A headline has very little room for context. It may describe a relative change without the starting risk, use the word “cause” for an association, or treat a finding from one population as if it applies to everyone.

Before changing a medicine, supplement, diet, screening decision or treatment because of an article, read the original source where possible and check a current authoritative health service.

Speak with an appropriate professional when the decision is personal or could cause harm.

  1. Check whether the article links to the original study or guidance.
  2. Look for the number of people studied, who they were and how long they were followed.
  3. Ask whether the result shows association or cause.
  4. Look for the starting risk as well as the percentage change.
  5. Check whether the finding has been repeated and whether important limitations are explained.
  6. Be cautious when the article sells a product, promises certainty or asks you to stop prescribed care.

04For journalists

Using KCK names, images and quotations

Journalists and organisations should confirm the current spelling, role, charity number and programme status from the relevant KCK page. Use Dr Khan’s approved public biography and do not add another clinical title.

Ask before using a KCK logo, photograph, comic image or long quotation. A link to an image online does not by itself confirm permission for republication.

05Accuracy

Corrections

If a KCK-owned update is inaccurate, report the page and wording. A material correction should carry a short dated note explaining what changed.

For an error on an external publisher’s page, contact that publisher. KCK may also clarify its own position when needed, but cannot edit an external article.
