SOCIAL MEDIA IN HEALTHCARE

Social media has infiltrated every aspect of life, and the healthcare sector is no exception. The use of social media in healthcare is in its formative stages. This growing industry will have a huge impact on the way public health messages are communicated, and how we engage with patients and healthcare consumers in the future. Informa’s Social Media in Healthcare conference will explore the possibilities that social media has for enhancing the healthcare sector. Key topics to be discussed include: Social media and mental health, Social media and primary healthcare, Social media and healthcare marketing, Social media and crisis communications, Social media and professional development, Social media and patient support, Social media for managing chronic illness, Social media as a means of connecting to disadvantaged communities, Social media risk management and ethics, Mobile healthcare, The NBN and the potential for social media and healthcare.
