CSP and BAOT/COT’s use of Social Media

What health care agenices are on social media?

Is using social media professional? What the HCPC say

#Recognise social networking sites are a useful way of communicating and sharing information

#Information placed on social networking sites is in the public domain and can therefore be viewed by other people.

#The HCPC will only be concerned if your use raises concerns about your fitness to practise.

#For example, - putting confidential information

Make sure that when you use social Networking Sites, your usage is consistent with the HCPC standards.

# You must act in the best interests of service users.

# You must respect the confidentiality of service users.

# You must keep high standards of personal conduct.

# You must behave with honesty and integrity and make sure that your behavior does not damage the public’s confidence in you or your profession.

Think before you write on social media

Appropriate to share that information?

Confidential information about your, service, patient, client or colleague? –Don’t write it.

This could include information about their personal life, health or circumstances.

General Rule - don’t put anything on social media you would not like your grandmother or boss to see.

Some examples

@DavidCameron is a F*** idiot the #BedroomTax is going to create a bigger gap between #MH SU’s and the general public

However the use of language would be seen as unprofessional

I disagree with @DavidCameron the #BedroomTax will create a bigger gap between #MH SU’s and the general Public.

What is Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ?

A range of learning activities through which professionals maintain and develop throughout their career to ensure that they continue to be able to practice safely, effectively, and legally, within their changing scope of practice.

So how can I Evidence what I have learnt for my CPD?

#Maintain a continuous, up-to-date and accurate record of their CPD activities

# Using some sort of cpd tool – lots out there

# Like pebble pad or TRAMm

#Write a reflection on what you have learnt from tweets you have read, twitter chats you have joined in.

#You could create your own blog for this purpose.

#Create a storify of a tweeting sessions you have joined in

What is Storify# Storify helps making sense of what people post on social media. Our

users create the most important voices and turn them into stories.

# They are building a new information network that will give you the social perspective on any event.

# Basically if you create an account you can the drag information from all your social networking sites and websites to make a story of an event and how you where included for your CPD – this website was recommended to be used within a twitter chat with the HCPC

Blogging # Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.

# Many blogs focus on a particular topic, And others are more like personal journals, presenting the author's daily life and thoughts, maybe about their Career.

# Again you need to remember to act professional on these sites.

# Be aware not all blogs will be Evidence based, so be careful.
