“We can discuss cases, present photos etc much
more easily and without fear than we could
otherwise. Its even easier than face to face
convo's- as you literally type at the start of a
consultation and get a reply at the end”
-Dr HK

quite easily with multiple brain input”

25. “It's been really helpful in my ST3 year so far.
Our VTS sessions are good as a 'safe' place to ask
stupid questions, but they only happen every
other week. This is a faster and v useful
addition/alternative.”

26. Social Media Guidelines
“The standards expected of doctors do not change
because they are communicating through social media
rather than face to face or through other traditional
media. However, using social media creates new
circumstances in which the established principles
apply.”
27. Social Media Guidelines
Privacy:
Social Media sites cannot guarantee confidentiality
Patients, employers, colleagues may be able to access your
personal information
Photos may have location info embedded in them
Once published online, a post may be impossible to remove
28. Social Media Guidelines
Benefits:
Engaging people in public health and policy discussions
Establishing national and international networks
Facilitating patients’ access to information about health and
services
29. Social Media Guidelines
Risks:
Doctor-Patient relationship blurred. Need to maintain a
professional boundary.
Maintain patient confidentiality at all times. “The sum of
published information online could be enough to identify a
patient or someone close to them”
Respect colleagues at all times. Defamation laws apply.
30. Social Media Guidelines
Anonymity / Declarations:
If identifying yourself as a doctor you should use your real
name but not something you must do. Posts by doctors

”The OFT considers that there is a shortage of accessible,
standardised and comparable information provided to patients, GPs
and PMI providers in relation to the quality of PH facilities and of
consultants”
“The OFT patient interviews and the OFT GP survey both indicate
that patients place a great amount of trust in their GPs' opinions and
recommendations”
