WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media is not names like Twitter,
Facebook and YouTube. Social media is
referring to the technology that allows users
of it to share their thoughts, work and
multimedia, and comment on others’
content. Social media enables you to become
part of different networks of people with
similar interests. (NHS Employers, 2013)

SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT


Through the appraisal system and learning and
development team, HR directors often have an
overview of the continuing professional
development (CPD) requirements of staff.
As online taught modules have begun to change
the face of healthcare teaching, social media is
set to do just the same.
(HR Employers, 2013)

EXAMPLES OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE NHS
Many healthcare professionals join in chats on Twitter, or ‘tweetchats’ as
they are known, to discuss topics of importance to them.

The aim was for staff to spend a little
time each week exploring online tools
for communication, publicity and
productivity. Each week new things
were posted for participants to do.
Each participant recorded their
progress on their own blog.

Some of the Things were fun for some but
boring for others.

It surely raised library staff awareness
about the most popular Web 2.0
technology and social media tools.
