From link to action
Links are there to confirm a general reference point, not to replace individualized clinical judgment. If anxiety is rising, symptoms are changing, or the decision is no longer clear, it's time to leave the page and contact the right service.
That's when the EMA portal must stay visible: as the next step, not as decoration.
Found the right reference? Great. Still unsure? Move to the phone or the patient portal.
