Description

67% of GPs rated this lecture as excellent

In this Healthed lecture, David Gardner outlines the major risks for healthcare practitioners who engage with social media, even in a non-professional capacity. Apparently, the reality is, anything posted online should be considered permanent and public and needs to uphold a standard of conduct that is consistent with professional standards – even if it is discussing de-identified patients or personal opinions. A truly enlightening and slightly frightening presentation.
