Leading Medicine Guide Editorial Team: We're committed to providing you with health information!
Our Services and Goals
Gaining a better understanding of your own condition or knowing more precisely how an upcoming treatment will actually proceed provides a sense of security and trust. Leading Medicine Guide aims to make it easier for patients to better understand their own health issues and medical expertise.
Of course, Leading Medicine Guide is not a substitute for medical treatment or diagnosis; rather, it serves as an informative bridge between doctors and patients.

Quality Assurance and Editorial Standards
One of Leading Medicine Guide’s quality criteria is that all content offered is created and published objectively, factually, and free from any conflicts of interest. The focus is on providing factually accurate and up-to-date information. Our platform meets the transparency criteria of afgis (Aktionsforum Gesundheitsinformationssystem e. V.). The afgis logo stands for high-quality health information on the internet, and as a member of this network, Leading Medicine Guide bears the afgis quality logo.
Our commitment to content quality includes regular internal quality assurance in accordance with editorial standards and established procedures:
- Citation of the author and editor
- Citation of content sources (professional society guidelines, specialized literature, medical publications)
- Indication of creation and update dates (the date listed on our article pages corresponds to the last update date)
- Regular, multi-stage content review by external experts, qualified medical journalists, and the editorial team
- Research in medical databases and comparison with professional association guidelines (e.g., AWMF)
- Updates and error corrections
- Incorporation of questions, feedback, and criticism from readers
In addition, when writing and revising texts, we adhere to the Code of Ethics of the German Association of Medical Journalists (DFJV), with a focus on truthful and factual information. Our readers should be comprehensively informed and educated, without being left in the dark. False promises—especially regarding the treatment methods described—have no place at Leading Medicine Guide, nor does fear-mongering language in articles about medical conditions (see §1.8 of the DFJV Code of Ethics).
When we use masculine forms (“medical specialist,” “specialist,” “patient”) in our texts, this is done to improve readability and naturally includes women as well.
To ensure efficient content creation, we use AI tools to assist us; however, the results are always thoroughly reviewed, revised, and approved by our medical writers and journalists. Editorial responsibility for all content lies exclusively with our team.
By the way, you can contact the editorial team directly at [email protected]! We’ll respond to your inquiries as quickly and thoroughly as possible within one week. We also look forward to your suggestions and feedback, which we’ll be happy to take into account.
