How we publish
How does Medical Physicist UK create and check guidance?
LATITUDE60 LTD publishes this site. The publishing process starts with the organisation responsible for the rule or decision, separates sourced fact from practical explanation, labels changing information and corrects material errors when identified.
Who is responsible for the content?
LATITUDE60 LTD is responsible for Medical Physicist UK and for reviewing the published copy. The site does not claim that an unnamed clinical or recruitment panel has approved the guidance, and it does not attach invented credentials to an author.
Which sources take priority?
- NSHCS and Oriel for England STP recruitment
- Nation-specific training bodies for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
- HCPC and GOV.UK for protected-title and registration information
- NHS Employers or the relevant national body for pay
- The recruiting employer for a live vacancy
- AHCS, IPEM, RPA2000 and HSE for their own schemes or recognitions
How do we handle time-sensitive information?
We state a checked date, avoid presenting past deadlines as live and link to the official page. Recruitment schedules, post numbers, pay and interview rules are reviewed more cautiously than stable explanatory content.
How do we handle application and interview advice?
We explain the published rules and provide independently written preparation material. We do not reproduce recalled interview questions, promise a selection result or advise applicants to breach conduct rules.
- Practice prompts are labelled independently written
- Applicants are told to use genuine evidence and follow the current applicant instructions
- Past interview formats are dated rather than presented as permanent
- The official rules for the applicant's own recruitment round take priority
How are tools, including AI, used in publishing?
Drafting, analysis and checking tools may assist the workflow. The publisher reviews the final copy, checks time-sensitive factual claims against named sources and removes unsupported claims of authority. Editorial tool use does not change the separate rules that an applicant must follow when preparing or submitting an application.
How can you challenge a claim?
Send the page, disputed wording and an official source if available. The publisher will check the claim, correct or clarify it where needed and update the checked context for a material change.
