Can you enjoy Twitter without tweeting?

See on Scoop.it – Health Care Social Media Monitor

People join Twitter for a variety of reasons,. For gossip, news, humour and information. And in the healthcare sphere, it’s information that is important. Good, reliable, orthodox information.

At the healthcare coalface it soon becomes clear that a large minority of the population fall into one or more of these categories:

are busy, have no time or interest to engage, just want the facts, then out dislike chit-chat are uncomfortable expressing their opinion do not have English as their first language are naturally laconic are none of the above but, on the day, just don’t want to talk

It’s the role of the treating health worker to recognise one or more of these traits in a person, and offer choices and solutions for their presenting complaint in an appropriate way. But it isnot their role to say “Look, if you don’t engage with me, you might as well leave”. It’s the same with professional Social Media.
