Although We ‘Online Diagnose,’ Few Of Us Share Health Info On Social Media Sites
A new study finds that while most of us go online regularly for help in diagnosing health issues, very few of us actually post information, questions or experiences on health topics.
The researchers say social media could be more valuable to all parties if more people joined in on the health discussion. Patients could become more empowered and doctors could be more aware of the public discourse around certain medical issues. The challenge now is how to get more people to contribute health info on social media sites.

GMC guidance- doctors online should reveal their identity
Yesterday, March 25th the GMC published the updated version of Good Medical Practice. And for the first time, supplementary explanatory guidance on the use of social media is also included. The “doctors and social media” guidance was issued in draft last year, was relatively uncontroversial and didn’t provoke a lot of discussion. One line in the final version has received a lot of attention on the twittersphere : “If you identify yourself as a doctor in publicly
accessible social media, you should also identify yourself by name.”
Great discussion on Anne Marie Cunningham’s blog!
