Threads is a way for the global MedAll community at large to come together, discuss, share and collaborate.


How to join the conversation

All MedAll users can create threads, or comment within a thread.

We encourage you to become a member or follow any community that interests you. Just click or tap the "follow" or "join" button in the top right on the communities banner. This way you stay up-to-date with new threads/comments, events, videos or resources from this community.

You review and manage your notification settings at any time in your account area.

Create a thread

To create a new thread, tap the 'create a new thread' bar located near the top of the communities thread page. Fill out the threads title (trying to keep it concise) and the description (where you can go into more detail).

You have the option to post the thread as:

  • Public – Visible to anyone on or off MedAll.

  • Members only – Visible only to members of that community. Please note, those who follow but are not a member of community will not be able to see that thread.

A thread is linked directly to the community that you post within.

A thread cannot be moved to another community once you have created it.
