Who cares, no one... why launch something like this without first curating some starter profiles?

You may want to look at posting on some nursing forums and paramedic forums to get some content before pushing this.

You might want to check the rules of "Show HN":

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.

> A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage.

You might also want to check site guidelines for gratuitous negativity:

Kinda harsh. This is clearly a project rather than a product launch. If you ever post a project of yours on HN I hope you get a better reception than this.

Agree, harsh. However, it wouldn't hurt to drop in some roles. E.g. searching for GP doesn't yield any results. Accepting that GPs are private employees, I suspect this will be the face of the NHS to many.

Thanks for feedback, adding role data today. Here's GP for example: http://www.whocares.io/search_results?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=...
