Editorial content and not medical advice

The Handover is an editorial publication. Its content is provided for general information, commentary, and education. It is not a substitute for clinical judgment, formal guidance, supervision, or patient-specific advice.

If you rely on anything on the site in a professional or clinical context, you remain responsible for checking the primary sources, guidance, and facts that apply to the situation in front of you.

Newsletter subscriptions

When you subscribe, your details are passed to our newsletter provider so we can send you The Handover and related operational emails about the subscription itself. You can unsubscribe through the link in the email or by contacting us.

We may change or pause the newsletter schedule, editorial format, or signup experience without notice.
