CancerHelp UK's external review
This page sets out our review policy. There is information below about
CancerHelp UK has many writers, reviewers and editors, as listed below. All material on the site has been specifically developed for CancerHelp UK.
All material is reviewed before it goes up on the site and revised regularly in order to keep it up to date. Two expert reviewers see all new sections before they go on the site. They make alterations and additions to the text, which are then implemented by the clinical information team.
For existing content, we have a rolling review programme, aiming to have every section reviewed within 18 months. For all sections of the site, we carry out internal review and external review alternately. Internal reviews are carried out by members of the Cancer Research UK information nurse team and occasionally by members of the CancerHelp UK editorial team.
The priority for implementing reviews is to add to or amend text in line with expert reviewer comments. The reliability of the content is of paramount importance at all times. Should resource allow, the team member implementing the review has a list of points to check against content (see review check lists below).
Additional updates are made to content between reviews. We will only add material outside reviews if we are certain of its provenance, can reference it, and are confident that we have explained it correctly. This generally applies to newly issued or updated NICE guidance, new drug licensing, treatment guidelines or major clinical trial results. Notes are kept of such changes so that they can be highlighted to the expert reviewer at the point of next external review.
We try to have as many sections of the site as possible reviewed by people with personal experience of cancer.
Questions for Questions and answers are sent in by users of CancerHelp UK to the information nurse team, who flag up questions of interest to the CancerHelp UK specialist nurse writer. The CancerHelp UK team may also write and develop a Question and Answer as a standard response to a topical issue, particularly if it is increasing demand on the information nurse service.
Your Tips and Stories is a section written by users of CancerHelp UK who are named on their pages.
We also try to have lay reviewers for as many sections of the site as possible. If you are interested in reviewing a section for us, you should either have had cancer yourself or been a close relative of someone who has had cancer. Please contact us on cancerhelpuk@cancer.org.uk. There are guidelines for lay reviewers that you can look at, to give you more idea of what we need and how you can help.
The process for implementing reviews must include the following
- Check that amendments or additions you’ve made match the rest of the content on the page and other relevant pages in the section
- Check that amendments read clearly and do not interrupt the overall flow of the writing
- Add links to other sections as appropriate
- All links to other websites should open in a new window
- Check all amends and additions for typos and correct spacing
- If more than 8 bullets at the top of the page (jump links), put into 2 columns
- Add or remove keywords to meta data ‘keywords’ field as appropriate
- Add references for any new articles used to comments box in meta data
- Change page date to 'major' in meta data after final save – and immediately ‘approve’
- Check on the live site that all new links are working
- Do a quick sight check of page layout on live site
- Check that page date has updated on live site
- Check workflow at the end of the day to make sure you have approved all page changes
On completion of a section review
- Update About CancerHelp UK section to reflect completed review
- Update review schedule in eRoom: flag, review type and date
- Add article / guideline references to the Patient Information Resources database in eRoom
Should resource allow, the content review team will check the following aspects of content throughout each page when carrying out periodic reviews:
- Take out any mention of ‘CancerHelp UK’ and replace with ‘our website’
- Take out any references to our About Cancer section; only replace with new section name (cancers in general) if unavoidable
- Check that there is no ‘jargon’ in the jump links and simplify language if there is
- Change passive voice to active
- Simplify language where necessary - check against style guide
- Check paragraph and sentence spacing
- Check grammar and punctuation
- Ensure that link text is clear and indicates the link destination
- Ensure that links to other sections have the correct section name (eg change 'chemo side effects section' to 'cancer drug side effects section')
- Check whether any lists in the content would be better presented in bullets
- Ensure abbreviations are included after full terms (eg NICE)
- Check page description in meta data is accurate, succinct and between 75 and 160 characters long
