Developing a Digital Strategy 015 – applications of social media in health and research

A first – the conference recently attended (Noi2010) is the first I have been to that had a social media in health workshop.  The audience was in the main experienced clinicians who were trying to make sense of what was happening online irrespective of whether they had a website and were also curious to see how the conference organisers Noigroup and some Presenters were using social media.

I learned from the questions that were asked:

• What is the difference between a blog and a website
• Why is social media so important
• How much time will it take
• Is it free?
• How do I make money from using this
• How do I manage my personal identity on line vs my company -are they the same
• How often should I blog
• Where do I start

Here’s the presentation or you can download a pdf version of the presentation from here
