Politique éditoriale

Our goal is to provide up-to-date and accurate information that’s digestible and easy to understand. We’ve been providing Canadians with information about liver health since we were first formed in 1969.

Editorial independence

  • Liver Canada maintains complete editorial independence and operational separation from our corporate supporters. This means that Liver Canada makes decisions about the information we provide without interference from them. None of our health information is altered or edited by our corporate supporters at any time.

The importance of our experts

We couldn’t offer you the information we do without the help of external experts (for example, healthcare professionals, scientists and researchers). We rely on these experts to:

  • help us interpret research in their field of expertise
  • provide technical expertise
  • help evaluate individual studies
  • consider the weight of evidence
  • review our information to make sure it is based on evidence and that it reflects clinical practice in Canada

We are grateful to the many researchers, liver specialists and other health specialists who give their time and expertise to help move research forward for those with liver disease.


Our editorial process

Updating

Our liver disease pages are reviewed and updated regularly. And if the evidence changes, these pages are updated as soon as possible.

All print materials include our toll-free phone number and email address so that people can contact us for the most up-to-date information.

Corrections and improvements

Feedback about our information is kept on file so that we can consider it when the content is revised. Changes that make the text clearer or more accurate are made as quickly as possible.
