Leading Medicine Guide Editorial Team: Our Commitment to Your Health Information!
Our Services and Objectives
Better understanding one’s own medical condition or knowing more precisely how an upcoming treatment will proceed creates confidence 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 does not replace medical treatment or diagnosis, but rather sees itself as an informative bridge between physicians and patients.

Quality Assurance and Editorial Standards
The Leading Medicine Guide quality criteria include the principle that all content provided is created and published in an objective, factual, and independent manner. Accurate and up-to-date medical information is our primary focus. Our services meet 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 carries the afgis quality seal.
Our commitment to content quality includes regular internal quality assurance based on editorial standards and applied procedures:
- Identification of author and editor
- Disclosure of content sources (professional society guidelines, specialist literature, medical publications)
- Specification of the creation and update date (the date shown on our article pages corresponds to the most recent update)
- Regular, multi-stage content review by external experts, qualified medical journalists, and the editorial team
- Research in medical specialist databases and comparison with professional society guidelines (e.g., AWMF)
- Updates and error correction
- Consideration of questions, feedback, and criticism from readers
In addition, we follow the Code of Ethics of the German Association of Professional Journalists (DFJV) when creating and revising texts, with a focus on truthful and factual information. Our readers are to be comprehensively informed and educated without being left uninformed. False promises—especially with regard to the treatment methods presented—have no place at Leading Medicine Guide, just as fear-inducing language in articles about medical conditions is avoided (cf. §1.8 DFJV Code of Ethics).
When we use the masculine form in our texts ("physician," "specialist," "patient"), this wording is intended to improve readability and, of course, includes all genders.
To ensure efficient content creation, we use supportive AI tools; however, their results are always fully reviewed, revised, and approved by our medical expert authors and journalists. Editorial responsibility for all content lies exclusively with our team.
By the way, you can contact the editorial team directly at redaktion@dvfgi.com! Your inquiries will be answered as quickly and comprehensively as possible within one week. We also welcome your suggestions and feedback, which we are happy to take into account.
