‘YouTube has launched a verification system for healthcare workers in the UK as it battles disinformation online.
In 2022, health videos were viewed more than three billion times in the UK alone on the video-sharing platform.
Doctors, nurses and psychologists have been applying for the scheme since June and must meet rigorous criteria set by the tech giant to be eligible.
Successful applicants will have a badge under their name identifying them as a genuine, licensed healthcare worker.
But YouTubers have warned the system is only meant for education purposes, not to replace medical advice from your GP.’
