Pattern of NHS Social Media use

Confirm the Twitter basics

So, what’s Twitter?

• You are in total control of what you say and when • It’s ubiquitous and constantly with people, instantly alerting them

• It enables you to find and interact with only those people and organisations most relevant to you and with interests the same as your own

• It stays with you as long as you want throughout your career and life

• It can link to all of your other online presences and activities

• It’s FREE!

So, what’s so good about Twitter?

@ vs #•@ is equivalent to an e-mail account. It is owned and used by a single organisation or individual

• # is used to tag and find content in anyone’s tweet(s) It is open to anyone.

•N.B. sometimes the same hashtag can mean very different things to different people!

So, let’s give it a go…

Avoid Social Media pitfalls

• Once you post something, someone can keep it forever, even if you deleted it

• Abuse is actively discouraged and disliked. • In extremis, tweets have been known to be cited in legal cases - so no slander or libel

• Consider adopting these three disciplines: • Never post in anger or agitation • Try not to post late at night • Try not to post after the second glass of wine or equivalent

Post in haste - Repent at leisure

Most Trusts now have a good and comprehensive social media policies.

Make sure you read it and adhere to it.

If your Trust does NOT have a policy, it needs to produce one now!

Read the Social Media Policy
