The start of the year means the start of project X. This was the first lesson (which was actually before Christmas) where we decided as a class collectively what overall topic we was going to focus on within the groups. We sat in groups that our tutor had put us in, and this would then enable us to undertake different sort of topics we would want to do as the new year approaches. I was with three people, and my approach was to go around and allow each of them to discuss what they thought was important in the world today. I came up with ocean plastic, the bush fires in Australia, and then someone said about abusing alcohol etc which led to someone saying about the NHS.

We then had to write the chosen two within our groups and write them on the board. we then went one by one to tick the one we was going to go towards.

After everyone voted it was time for us to allow one by one to vote for the best topic we could approach. The winner was NHS. From knowing that the focus would be on the NHS it allowed me to understand exactly what sort of research to undertake within the Christmas holidays. The NHS is a topic that varies over so much and contributes to so many arguments therefore for the holidays I knew I was going to just do general research throughout the NHS.
