Links policy

We link to other websites that we think will help our readers — usually official NHS sources, NICE, the Government, and reputable charities. This page explains the principles behind our linking.

Linking to us

You are welcome to link to NHS Direct from your own site. Please link to the actual page rather than framing our content inside yours.

Links from us

We check outbound links when we publish a page and periodically thereafter. We are not responsible for the content of external sites; if you find a broken or unhelpful link please let us know via our contact page.
