Good health information should reduce confusion, not create more of it.
Online health content is useful when it helps people understand what questions matter and when a consultation is appropriate. It becomes less useful when it tries to diagnose a person from a checklist.
Learn what a GP may consider without pretending one symptom has only one possible cause.
Recognise situations where persistent, changing or severe symptoms deserve clinical assessment.
Articles clearly separate routine primary care from symptoms that should not wait.
