YouTube Expands Health Labels to UK

Starting this week, users in the UK will see new features next to health-related searches and videos.They are adding health source information panels on videos to help viewers identify videos from authoritative sources and health content shelves that more effectively highlight videos from these sources when you search for specific health topics.

Google is working with National Health Service (NHS) to develop an approach to informing which UK channels would be eligible for an information panel.

By completing the self-certification process, an NHS organisation channel will be eligible for the information panel indicating NHS credibility. As a starting point in the UK, only NHS organisations will be invited to self-certify against the NHS Standard for Creating Health Content.
