A guide to posting about The Future of Health Care
Tom @ the BNC

Thank you to everyone who has started posting and commenting for our brand new Issue: The Future of Health Care. We are really excited to see so many great comments already - we feel this is going to be a very popular Issue!
In this Issue, we will be learning what the NHS is, debunking any myths and misunderstandings, and answering challenging questions about how it can keep looking after us in at a time of budget cuts, staff shortages, and an ageing population. To help you have the best conversations possible, there's a few big guidelines we'd like everyone to follow:
- As wonderful as they are, poems and A-Z's do not tend to lead to juicy discussions, so we won't be approving them.
- You might have heard personal experience of the NHS. If you wish to share a personal experience that helps support a point you're making, you're free to do so. However, don't feel you have to share anything you don't want to, especially if it makes you upset. The best thing is to ask your teacher if you're unsure about sharing something.
Obviously there is a lot of talk in the news about the Coronavirus. Please make sure any posts are about health care and the NHS, and are posing questions you think we need to be asking as we work out how to protect its future.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hi Tom, what if my post was like my Politician poem like last time?
Hi memorable_orchard - that was an outstanding piece and we were happy to approve it. My advice would be to keep asking good questions, and if you want to make some creative that includes questions to start a discussion, with your opinion too, then this would be a good contribution to the Hub!
Hello again, Tom. Sorry that this is not very related to this discussion but I have a problem- whenever I start a post and put it in drafts, I can't re-open it again. Do you know what is the cause of it?
Thank you for reading.

Hi memorable_orchard, thanks for letting us know. We're looking into the problem!
Thank you!

But the issue is called, The Future of Healthcare, so are we allowed to post and comment about things to do with healthcare but not do with the NHS. I know most healthcare topics relate to the NHS as they keep us healthy but if there was something that does relate to healthcare but not NHS then would it be appropriate to post about it as long as it, of course, starts a good discussion?
Thanks for the question. If it's related to the Future of Healthcare then I imagine it would be a good one. You might want to ask reply to this comment with your idea so we can give the green light before you go ahead and write a lot!

Tom why did you not send my A to Z of things about the NHS?
Thanks for the question loyal_lobster, as the post above says: "Poems and A-Z's do not tend to lead to juicy discussions, so we won't be approving them."
Why does A-Zs have an apostrophe? In school we learnt that apostrophes are only used for possession or omission (contractions), as this is neither, surely it doesn't need one.

I agree with you, it is not fair from A to M it should be A to Z
