What is included

Four categories of entry:

Concepts — foundational terms such as medical humanities and social prescribing
Methods — operational practices such as narrative medicine
People — scholars and practitioners who have shaped the field
Organisations and works (planned) — societies, journals and key literature

Institution rankings, outcome data and individual clinical advice are out of scope.

How it is maintained

All content lives as plain text files in a version-controlled repository. Because of this:

Every change to an entry is attributable and reversible
The history of any entry can be traced
Deployment happens automatically, with no manual step

See Contributing for the workflow.
