Groups
Groups do three things here: they carry flair that tells you what someone does, they hold responsibility for parts of the documentation, and in a few cases they gate an ability. They do not gate reading — nothing on this site is members-only.
Staff
The two administrators and the eight category moderators. Staff are accountable in public: every action we take appears in the moderation log with the rule cited and a written rationale, and any member may ask us to justify a…

Moderators
Category moderators. Each holds one or two categories rather than the whole site, because moderating analytics well and moderating safety well require different instincts. Moderators are recruited from trust level 4 and are…

Pharmacists
Verified pharmacists. Members of this group have provided evidence of registration to an administrator, which is held only long enough to verify and then destroyed. They answer stability, compatibility, compounding and…

Analytical chemists
Working analysts and mass spectrometrists. This group carries most of the analytics categories and maintains the method documentation. Its house standard is simple: a number without a method is not a result.

Clinicians
Verified clinicians — physicians, nurse practitioners, dietitians and physiotherapists. Everything posted here is general information for a public forum. Members of this group are explicitly not your prescriber and will say so…

Journal club
Anyone who reads the paper before the session. We meet in the Journal Club subcategory, one named study at a time, methods before results. Sessions are chaired on rotation and written up afterwards, and the write-ups feed the…

Wiki editors
Members who maintain the documentation commons. Wiki editing opens automatically at trust level 3; this group is for the people who do it habitually, and it is where maintainership handovers are arranged.

Translators
Members translating maintained documents into other languages. Translators reliably find the places where the English original is ambiguous, which is half of what makes the work valuable.

UK & Ireland
Members in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Maintains the UK and Irish access documentation: regulatory positions, NHS pathways, private prescribing, and pricing. Every claim on those pages carries a date because they change…

European Union
Members in EU member states. Maintains the EU access documentation and the national differences within it, which are larger than most people expect. Cross-border purchase rules are the most frequently misunderstood topic in this…

North America
Members in the United States and Canada. Maintains the compounding, coverage and appeals documentation, including the appeal templates. This group writes the least emotional prose on the site, deliberately, because that is what…

Asia-Pacific
Members in Asia and Oceania. Maintains regional availability notes and the substantial differences in what is legal and obtainable across the region.

Leaders
Trust level 4. Granted by staff invitation to members with a long record of good judgement, including in disagreement. Leaders can act on flags and edit any wiki post, and are expected to explain any action they take if asked.

First responders
A small group who watch the Safety category and the flag queue outside European working hours. Their job is not to give advice; it is to make sure an urgent post is seen quickly and pointed at real help.

Newcomer guides
Members who deliberately answer in the Start Here categories. Most poorly received first posts are badly framed questions rather than bad-faith ones, and the fix is a reply. This group provides the replies.

Data stewards
Members who curate the community datasets and the calculators. They are responsible for stating collection methods and response rates, and for refusing to publish an aggregate that would mislead.
