Hi here are some thoughts on your sandbox:
 * Wikipedia has a style guide to keep articles consistent. One of its points is that references should directly follow the punctuation--not the other way around. So you'll want to drag and drop the references to the other side of your punctuation.
 * There are a few date errors in your references. This isn't your fault. Sometimes the automatic citation generator puts the date in a format it doesn't understand (strange, I know!) To fix:
 * Go into edit mode
 * Click on the [1] in-text citation
 * Click "edit" on the popup box
 * Scroll to the "date" field and/or the "access date". Wikipedia only understands certain formats: year only (2020), 31 March 2020, or March 31, 2020. For your first ref, it's confused because the date is given as "2014-9". I would just change that to 2014.
 * Make sure you're in "edit" mode when you copy text from one article to another. You have to be in edit mode of an article before you select text to copy. That's why you have [edit] in your section titles. Go ahead and remove those. Also remove the whole "contents" section (this is what happens when the table of contents is copied when not in edit mode) and remove "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search "
 * Format bullets correctly by using the top toolbar while in edit mode. You have a mix of manual bullets and manual bulleted list with hyphens.
 * Wikipedia does not give advice and shouldn't come across as a how-to guide. So instead of "A few tips for patients include..." I would revise the language to "The NHS also recommends that..."
