What else is out there?

To aide me in constructing my own blog, I searched for other blogs relating to care, teaching and further education. I then stumbled upon The Health Foundation’s (THF) blog, which can be found Here. The blog offers opinions and comments from THF staff and also from individuals who have worked/work in healthcare and allows for comments to be left on each post. The blog presents a number of posts relating to topics, such as, whether a sugar tax would really reduce childhood obesity and the implications of stopping the state grant to study nursing or midwifery. I will certainly use this blog within my current learning and into my future career, to keep up-to-date with the areas effecting/benefiting healthcare. I will also advise my learners to familiarise themselves with this blog to gain an insight into working within healthcare. I would also use this blog to create discussions and debates within my lesson. Debates are beneficial for promoting an element of competition and allowing each learner to be involved (Reece and Walker, 2006)
