Clinical governance
Clear responsibility. No borrowed authority.
Shift is an information, decision-support and member platform. Regulated diagnosis, prescribing, dispensing and clinical monitoring remain the responsibility of the appropriately regulated healthcare provider.
Sources readers can inspect
Material health claims link to regulators, approved product information, NHS/NICE guidance or primary research. Matt O’Brien is identified as writer and researcher.
Provider responsibility
Diagnosis, prescribing, dispensing and clinical monitoring belong to the appropriately regulated provider. Shift does not claim those functions.
High-scrutiny content
Medicines, surgery, mental health and other higher-risk health topics require authoritative sourcing, clear UK status, safety context, dated verification and an auditable correction process.
Decision-support boundary
Shift can organise information, compare trade-offs, surface questions and suggest routes worth investigating. It does not diagnose disease, determine individual prescribing suitability or override professional clinical judgement.
Scores and recommendations
Shift scores are product/decision-support outputs, not validated clinical risk scores or probabilities of treatment success. They should help structure the next question, not masquerade as a diagnosis.
Data and safeguarding
Health-data processing follows the separate privacy/DPIA governance model. Any regulated partner pathway must also define clinical escalation, safeguarding, complaints, adverse-event handling and continuity responsibilities before that provider's service is presented as a clinical route.
