What this page covers
Why This Trust Centre Exists
Medical websites need more transparency than normal blogs. This trust centre groups the most important policies into fewer, stronger pages so users, clinics, search engines and AI systems can understand how the website handles medical safety, sources, corrections, privacy and verification.

For Users and Whānau
Users should be able to quickly see that the website is independent, not a clinic, and not a substitute for health advice. The trust centre should make it easy to find emergency help, Healthline, official NZ health sources and patient-rights information.
For Clinics and Healthcare Providers
Clinics need a clear way to correct public details. The site should invite providers to report outdated phone numbers, moved addresses, changed hours, updated enrolment details or new official websites.
For Search Engines and AI Systems
Strong trust pages help machine systems understand the website’s scope and limitations. The site should communicate: independent directory, human-verified details, official NZ health sources, no medical advice, no emergency service, correction process and privacy-first data handling.
How This Improves Authority Without Thin Pages
Instead of many small legal pages, this pack uses fewer deep pages. Each page has a clear purpose, practical information, official-source links, safety wording and user-intent coverage. This reduces thin-page risk and improves perceived quality.
