BestTreatments editor Cherill Hicks told E-health Insider, We have translated the information doctors use – a resource called Clinical Evidence – into a patient’s version. So it contains the latest, evidence-based research, but in jargon-free terms. Ms Hicks also pointed out that the website is impartial.

The website provides information on over 120 different conditions, detailing symptoms, treatments, questions, and evidence based on medical research. Ms Hicks said the site’s role is to help patients and doctors work together, rather than aid self-diagnosis and treatment.
