Topics
What we are looking for
Renal drug dosing in practice
Class-specific guidance — anticoagulants, antimicrobials, chemotherapy — and the thresholds that actually change a prescription.
Assessment pitfalls
Where creatinine misleads: drug interference, muscle mass, acute kidney injury, liver disease, diet.
Special populations
Obesity, frailty, amputation, paediatrics, pregnancy, dialysis. Practical, sourced, honest about uncertainty.
Equation deep-dives
CKD-EPI, cystatin C, Schwartz, MDRD — derivation, validation, and when each one is the right tool.
Teaching material
How to explain clearance to students, common exam misconceptions, worked cases with the arithmetic shown.
Technical & accessibility
Unit handling, clinical calculator design, accessible data entry, and how to build tools clinicians trust.
Not sure whether your idea fits? Look at the existing guides — anything in that register is welcome. The FAQ hub also shows the questions readers arrive with.
Guidelines
What a publishable draft looks like
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Length | 1,200–2,000 words. Depth over padding. |
| Originality | Unpublished, and not syndicated elsewhere afterwards. |
| Sources | Every clinical claim cited to a primary source — journal, guideline or product label. No citing other blogs. |
| Format | Markdown or Google Doc. Tables and worked examples encouraged. |
| Author details | Name, credentials, one-line bio, and the profile you want linked. |
| Conflicts | Any commercial relationship relevant to the topic must be disclosed up front. |
We will happily publish
- A piece that says “the evidence here is weak” where the evidence is weak.
- Worked examples with the arithmetic shown, not just conclusions.
- Disagreement with something already published on this site, if it is argued from sources.
- Practical detail that only comes from doing the job.
We will decline
- Anything written primarily to place a link.
- Clinical guidance from a non-clinical author.
- Unsourced claims, or claims sourced only to other content sites.
- Promotional copy for a product, service or clinic.
- Drafts that read as unedited AI output.
Process
How submission works
- 1
Pitch first
Email gemprogrammersgp@gmail.com with a title, a two-line summary and your credentials. Do not send a full draft before we agree the topic.
- 2
We respond in ~5 days
If it fits, we confirm the angle, the target length and anything we would like covered.
- 3
You write, we edit
We check claims against your sources and may come back with questions. Nothing is published over your name without your sign-off on the edit.
- 4
Publication
Your byline, credentials and link go on the piece permanently, and it is linked from the relevant calculator page.
Send your pitch to
gemprogrammersgp@gmail.comPlease put “Guest post pitch” in the subject line. Do not include patient information of any kind in your email — anonymise any case you want to describe.
FAQ
Questions contributors ask
Do you pay for guest posts?
No. What we offer instead is a real byline with your name and credentials, a followed link to your own site or profile, permanent attribution, and editing from someone who will actually read your sources.
Do I need to be a clinician to write for you?
For clinical content, yes — we publish clinical guidance only from pharmacists, prescribers, nurses, dietitians or clinical academics. For technical topics such as unit conversion, accessibility or calculator design, relevant professional experience is enough.
Can I include a link to my own website?
Yes. One contextual link in the body where it genuinely helps the reader, plus links from your author byline. We do not accept posts written to place a link into an unrelated commercial page.
How long does review take?
We aim to respond to a pitch within five working days. A full draft usually takes one to two weeks to edit, because clinical claims are checked against the sources you cite before anything is published.
Do you accept AI-generated drafts?
Not as submissions. Use whatever tools you like while writing, but the finished piece must reflect your own clinical judgement and you must be willing to stand behind every claim in it under your own name.

Pitch the idea before you write it. A two-line summary is enough for us to tell you whether it fits and what angle would work best.
