Citizens, Citizenry - Health and Social Care

[h2cm]

Hi everyone
I've only just joined and must confess a mission:
For the past decade I have been championing a health and social care model that can be used to engage and educate....

I know the public will seek articles on diseases, illnesses but:

- are there existing 'quality assured' sites that are doing this?
- how does Citizendium differentiate itself from Wikipedia?
is there not an opportunity here to focus on -
- 'staying well'
- relapse prevention for the conditions explained elsewhere (e.g. Wikipedia, Royal College of Psychiatrists, HON sites...).
- tips from 'suffers' and carers
- 'citizens' rights and responsibilities (major debate at present)

It would be good to see HEALTH represented here?

Just a few thoughts.

Hi Peter,

As you are probably aware, CZ is still in its infancy. Please join us and assist with creating such articles. We have some good biology and medicine editors to help out, but we are in serious need of more authors!
