Editorial Responsibility and AI Use

All clinical, educational, and patient-facing content published by The Foot in Diabetes Ltd is published under the editorial responsibility of Rob Menzies, Podiatrist, who holds final editorial control and ultimate legal responsibility for publication.

AI-assisted tools may be used in preparing content. Where they are, the output is subject to deliberate examination of its substance before publication by a reviewer with relevant clinical knowledge and the authority to approve, alter, or reject it on factual grounds. That review examines the clinical accuracy of the content, verifies every factual and numerical claim, and checks every cited source against the original.

Formatting, spelling, grammar, and stylistic checks alone do not constitute this review. No content is published without the review having been completed and recorded.

Where AI has been used to generate images, audio, or video, that is disclosed on the content itself. Where a synthetic voice is used, that is disclosed in the show notes or description.

Rob Menzies writes here in a personal and independent capacity. Views are his own and do not represent Hamad Medical Corporation or any employer.
