Self-promotion bannedNo links

Can you promote here?

The rules prohibit promoting your own product here. You can still be genuinely useful in comments (which builds the account standing every other community checks), but any promotional post or link is likely to be removed and can earn a community ban.

From the rules · Self-promotion is banned; do not post links to your product or solicit users, and NHS staff should follow employer social media guidelines.

Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.

What this community rewards

Dominant post formats: discussion, question, story

Headline: short, factual (eg. “Been dismissed by GP – seeking advice”); avoid editorialising. Write in first person for experiences or as a clear question for advice; keep posts concise (a few short paragraphs). Tone: civil, constructive, occasionally frustrated. Upvoted: clear patient/staff experiences, practical questions, policy/news discussion, AMAs. Removed: self-promotion, medical questions seeking diagnoses, insults, off-topic politics.

Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/nhs's rules page before posting anything that matters.

Thread Otter checks this before every send

These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
