When setting up and running websites for medical practices and clinics, the costs and the requirements with regard to the know-how can necessitate collaboration with industrial providers. This can lead to financial involvement which requires regulation. Publicity is not recommended, although today it is no longer forbidden; links to other websites are allowed, but only for passing on addresses; the use of third-party material in connection with the homepage must be disclosed; medical information must be written by medical professionals. In the setting-up and running of websites for medical practices and clinics, it is recommended to adopt the HON code and to avoid any additional professional certification.
