Has anyone any further suggestions for publicising this Petition?
1. Get it mentioned with the URL in any national newspaper
2. Track down discussion forums patronised by doctors, nurses or health professionals and post the link there in existing threads or a new thread
3. Track down more general discussion forums on health issues and post the URL there and background to the petition.
4. Acquire a national press release list of all national and local newspapers and email a press release containing details on the petition and its URL.
5. Acquire the name of trade magazines connected with the health professions and send a press release with the URL of the petition website to those.
6. Organise a demonstration to go to the Houses Of Parliament on a weekday (basically Tuesday to Thursday) during the Parliamentary session and for all the members of the website on the demonstration who have an NEG doctors surgery to ask to see their MPs at the House of Commons.
The snag is that Mr Whitehouse himself (any relation to Mary) does not seem to be an active member of this forum so we cannot directly say it is the
www.saynoto0870.com petition against the use of 0844 numbers by doctors surgeries.
