UK-side of CollegeJourn project update

[Josh Halliday]

Hi all,

I'm conscious of spamming your inbox so I'll keep these updates to
where they're particularly significant.

The UK-side of this project is running atop the HelpMeInvestigate.com
platform, which you can find here: http://bit.ly/YyJjT

Thanks to the contributions of Colin Meek, we know know the UK has a
Association of Health Services for Students (http://www.bahshe.co.uk/)
- Suzanne Yada wondered whether there's similar setups in other
countries? This week I'll hopefully (time-permitting) be getting in
touch with BAHSHE to establish some general points about healthcare
offerings in the UK. Things I'll be seeking to establish:

- Current priorities of the BAHSHE
- Explore why some institutions haven't opted for BAHSHE membership
- What health services are HE institutions legally obliged to offer?
- Do all institutions satisfy those obligations?
- Are they open to interpretation?
- Do some of the wealthier Universities have in place much better
services than institutions that are more dependent on state funding?

I think it might also be an idea to get someone from BAHSHE to take
part with the investigation, so I plan to drop in a line and invite. I
think they could offer valuable contributions to help navigate HE
health services.

Also thinking about dropping in some queries on our plans for getting
stats (http://bit.ly/2tcQ4X).

So - what do you think?
