Public spaces and Discover

Discover

The Discover tab in Spaces lists public spaces from clinicians across Rhazes. You can search them, sort by most recent, most members or alphabetically, and filter by specialty.

The specialty filter reads the owner's specialty, which is the same one shown on the card under their name. Spaces you already belong to are left out, so the list is only things you could actually join.

Why join one

Because somebody has already done the work. A well maintained public space is a curated body of guidance you can point your own chats at without uploading a single file, and joining one costs you nothing against your own upload allowance.

What a visitor sees

Before joining, a public space shows its name, description, image, its owner and their specialty, its member count and how many documents it holds. The documents themselves stay closed until you join.

Making your own space public

Change its visibility from the space menu. Any Rhazes clinician can then find it in Discover and join instantly as a viewer.

Before you publish

Go through the documents properly. This is the one action in Spaces that shows your material to people you have not chosen.

• No patient identifiable information. A protocol with a real case worked into it is the classic mistake.
• Check what you are allowed to share. Plenty of local documents are internal, licensed, or both, and being useful is not the same as being yours to publish.
• Check nothing internal is embedded. Rota details, extension numbers, named individuals, internal escalation paths.
• Consider whether it should be maintained. A public space that stops being updated becomes a set of superseded guidance with your name on it. If you are going to publish, own the maintenance too.

Turning it back

Making a space private again stops it appearing in Discover and stops new people joining. People who already joined stay members until you remove them. See Managing members of a space.
