Transparency Statement on Revenue Sources & Influences
Clinicians Check Global Group Last updated: 27/05/2025
Executive Summary
This Transparency Statement outlines all revenue models, sponsorship arrangements, advertising, and third-party influences across the CliniciansCheck platform. As a global healthcare technology platform facilitating sensitive interactions between patients, clinicians, and health-related vendors, we are committed to full disclosure of any commercial relationships that may affect visibility, rankings, or content.
This ensures compliance with laws such as the UK Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations, EU eCommerce Directive, US FTC Endorsement Guidelines, Australia’s AHPRA Code of Conduct, and the Global Anti-Bribery and Transparency Principles.
1. Revenue Streams
CliniciansCheck earns revenue through the following clearly defined channels:
-
Subscription fees from clinicians, vendors, or institutional accounts.
-
Transaction fees on bookings, purchases, or platform-facilitated payments.
-
Sponsored listings or promoted profiles, clearly labeled as such.
-
Advertising space, restricted to approved health-related brands only.
-
Third-party integrations, via white-label or data access agreements.
We do not sell user data, medical information, or private communication logs under any circumstances.
2. Sponsorship & Paid Visibility
Where any content, product, service, or profile is sponsored or promoted, it is:
-
Clearly marked as “Sponsored,” “Ad,” “Paid Placement,” or “Featured.”
-
Subject to the same professional verification and compliance checks as all other content.
-
Separated from editorial, clinical, and algorithmic ranking logic to avoid bias.
Users are never misled about why a product or profile appears in a certain position.
3. Independence of Editorial, AI, and Clinical Content
-
Our AI systems and algorithms are not influenced by paid sponsorships.
-
CliniciansCheck does not accept funding that requires favourable reviews, altered profiles, or preferential treatment in our professional validation process.
-
Medical advice, health content, or platform explanations are created independently and may not be altered for commercial benefit.
4. Affiliate Programs & Commission Models
Where applicable:
-
Any affiliate or commission model (e.g. third-party labs, medical supplies, wellness products) is fully disclosed.
-
All affiliate links are marked clearly and will not affect product visibility rankings.
-
We retain the right to remove vendors who use affiliate models deceptively.
5. Review Integrity & Influence Controls
Reviews cannot be paid for, altered, or posted anonymously by sponsors.
We apply:
-
Verification protocols (e.g. confirmed purchase or consultation)
-
Automated and manual moderation
-
Fraud detection technology
-
Any review suspected to be false, paid, or retaliatory is investigated and may be removed.
6. Anti-Corruption & Commercial Ethics
CliniciansCheck prohibits:
-
Bribes, kickbacks, or improper influence in gaining access to the platform or being featured.
-
“Pay-to-play” listing models that bypass verification or due diligence.
-
The use of personal gifts or favors to influence platform moderation, marketing, or dispute outcomes.
-
All employees, clinicians, and vendors must sign or accept a Code of Conduct, with violations resulting in termination or legal escalation.
7. Third-Party Advertising & Sponsorship Rules
All third-party advertisers must be vetted, licensed, and ethically aligned.
We reject:
-
Tobacco, alcohol, gambling, or unsafe supplements
-
Unregulated medical devices or unverified health claims
-
Ads that promote bias, fear, or harmful body image messaging
We reserve the right to decline or remove sponsorships that undermine our values or pose public risk.
8. Review, Governance & Enforcement
This statement is reviewed annually by the Board Ethics & Risk Subcommittee.
Breaches are reported internally and, where relevant, to:
-
Advertising Standards Authorities
-
Healthcare regulators
-
Anti-corruption bodies
