Web 2.0 and Health, Wellbeing and Healthcare

As a rule I don't normally just pass on links to other posts but hey, it's Jan 2nd, outside it's grey and raining and yet another piece of Christmas Cake is daring me to eat it. 

Everything 2.0 has a post titled:  Health 2.0: 38 sites that can help you to stay healthy, or to improve your health, or to lighten your sickness.

Thanks to Matthew Holt at Health 2.0 for drawing this to my attention.

I haven't looked at all 38 sites yet, but I imagine they are all (currently at least) mainly focused on serving USA-based users/communities. I wonder which ones would work this side of the pond and what a more UK centric list of Web 2.0 health sites might look like? Please let me know which Web 2.0 health sites you know about. Maybe we can compile a little list and get the NHS's attention on this?

Happy 2008 to all.

No UK ones though - unless you count www.theknowledgexchange.co.uk
