5 Reasons Why Health Professionals Need Social Media-Based CME

The continuing education landscape is evolving rapidly, and social media is at the forefront of… | 10 comments on LinkedIn
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Alignment with learning preferences: As millennials now represent the largest segment of healthcare professionals, social media delivers the interactive, technology-driven experience they seek.

2️⃣ Accessibility without barriers: Social media platforms eliminate geographical and financial obstacles that prevent many practitioners from accessing quality CME—particularly crucial for those in rural or underserved areas.

3️⃣ Real-time knowledge application: Platforms like Twitter/X and TikTok enable immediate feedback through polls, knowledge checks, and peer discussion, reinforcing learning in ways traditional formats cannot match.

4️⃣ Microlearning opportunities: Today's busy clinicians benefit from shorter, focused learning segments that can be consumed between patients or during brief breaks—exactly what social media platforms excel at delivering.

5️⃣ Community building: Beyond content delivery, social media hashtag#CME creates communities of practice where professionals can discuss cases, share insights, and collectively improve patient care long after formal education ends.

A Practical Guide to Demonstrating and Improving Prescribing Competence & Practice

Follow the conversation on Twitter #PrescribingCompetence This conference focuses on demonstrating and improving prescribing competence and practice and use of the National Competency Framework for all Prescribers.  “The updated Competency Framework can be used by any prescriber at any point in their career. It can also be used by regulators, education providers, professional organisations and specialist groups to inform guidance, education and advice. It outlines ten key prescribing competencies under two areas: the consultation, and prescribing governance. Within these areas, statements describe the activity or outcomes prescribers should be able to demonstrate.” NICE “The requirements of the competency framework will be the standards we consider safe and effective prescribing practice for all prescribers on our register... Prescribers on our register should refer to the competency framework and other relevant sources of information and guidance to inform their ongoing prescribing practice.” NMC 2019 Through national updates, practical case studies and extended expert sessions, this conference focuses on demonstrating and improving prescribing competence and practice – embedding the competency framework, and ten competency dimensions for all prescribers. This conference will enable you to: Network with colleagues who are working to improve prescribing competence and practice Understand the national context of your prescribing practice Examine how to self assess, reflect and audit prescribing practice against the ten competency dimensions Embed the framework into practice and demonstrate competence Reflect on the new Competency Framework for Designated Prescribing Practitioners Learn from others to improve prescribing governance and accountability Understand how to demonstrate prescribing proficiency Self assess and reflect on your own practice Gain CPD accreditation points contributing to professional development and revalidation evidence 100% of delegates at a previous conference on this subject would recommend the event to a colleague

The Evolution of the Journal Club: From Osler to Twitter | CME-CPD | Scoop.it
Journal clubs have typically been held within the walls of academic institutions and
in medicine have served the dual purpose of fostering critical appraisal of literature
and disseminating new findings. In the last decade and especially the last few years,
online and virtual journal clubs have been started and are flourishing, especially
those harnessing the advantages of social media tools and customs. This article reviews
the history and recent innovations of journal clubs. In addition, the authors describe
their experience developing and implementing NephJC, an online nephrology journal

Leveraging Social Media to Promote Evidence-Based Continuing Medical Education

Leveraging Social Media to Promote Evidence-Based Continuing Medical Education | CME-CPD | Scoop.it
Importance New dissemination methods are needed to engage physicians in evidence-based continuing medical education (CME). Objective To examine the effectiveness of social media in engaging physicians in non-industry-sponsored CME. Design We tested the effect of different media platforms (e-mail, Facebook, paid Facebook and Twitter), CME topics, and different “hooks” (e.g., Q&A, clinical pearl and best evidence) on driving clicks to a landing site featuring non-industry sponsored CME. We modelled the effects of social media platform, CME topic, and hook using negative binomial regression on clicks to a single landing site. We used clicks to landing site adjusted for exposure and message number to calculate rate ratios. To understand how physicians interact with CME content on social media, we also conducted interviews with 10 physicians. Setting The National Physicians Alliance (NPA) membership. Participants NPA e-mail recipients, Facebook followers and friends, and Twitter followers. Main Outcomes and Measures Clicks to the NPA’s CME landing site. Results On average, 4,544 recipients received each message. Messages generated a total of 592 clicks to the landing site, for a rate of 5.4 clicks per 1000 recipients exposed. There were 5.4 clicks from e-mail, 11.9 clicks from Facebook, 5.5 clicks from paid Facebook, and 6.9 clicks from Twitter to the landing site for 1000 physicians exposed to each of 4 selected CME modules. A Facebook post generated 2.3x as many clicks to the landing site as did an e-mail after controlling for participant exposure, hook type and CME topic (p<0.001). Twitter posts (p = 0.13) and paid Facebook posts (p = 0.06) were not statistically different from e-mail in generating clicks to the landing site. Use of different hooks to engage physicians had no impact on clicks to the landing site. Interviews with physicians suggested that social media might not be a preferred vehicle for disseminating CME. Conclusions Social media has a modest impact on driving traffic to evidence-based CME options. Facebook had a superior effect on driving physician web traffic to evidence-based CME compared to other social media platforms and email.

Using nursing tweetchats for CPD - again ! Monday 27th April 2015 by @AgencyNurse Waaaayyyy back in 2012 we wrote a little blog about How to get the best out of Twitter chats for CPD and since then we have been doing a whole heap of tweet chatting !!! However things have moved forward slightly and in the light of revalidation for nurses coming into force we thought it was about time we revisited our thoughts on Twitter chats and CPD.  The use of social media for continuing professional development and learning is becoming more common place and accepted within healthcare as many have come to realise the knowledge exchange that occurs in these spaces.  Moorley & Chinn (2014) state "Continuous professional development may use formal approaches to learning such as training sessions, classroom events (e.g. lectures) or education workshops. Informal learning may take the form of face to face conversations with colleagues or verbal feedback on actions or performance. As a result of the World Wide Web these approaches to knowledge sharing and transmission can extend to online environments. One such environment is social media using the platform Twitter. Twitter can be used as a learning resource; there are metrics that show healthcare conversations on Twitter. Symplur a provider of Health Care Social Media Analytics revealed there were 410 Million Healthcare Tweets." So with Twitter chats firmly placed on the CPD map here are a few tips to make the most out of them: 1. Be prepared - Have a read of the pre chat information for the Twitter chat you are going to participate in or watch.  You can find out about all of the We Community chats coming up here, so read up !  2. Take part - During the chat either get involved by taking part in the discussion maybe favourite some of their tweets to refer to later. Take a note on comments and people that got you thinking. 3. Feel free to lurk - Of course not everyone feels that they can actively take part in a Twitter chat, so feel free to lurk and watch the discussion, sometimes this can be just as valuable.  4. Reread, catchup and reflect - After the Tweetchat a transcript is produced and this allows you to go over the chat in your own pace and  a  reflect. A summary of the Tweetchat is also available afterwards - this is intended as a quick guide or reflection as to what the main points of the chat were. The transcript and summary are also handy if you missed the discussion but still want to read the main points.   5. Write your own summary / reflection - Reflect on what you have learnt, you may even like to blog or video blog about it, or simply print it out and add it to your portfolio.  You can even share your own summary in the comment box under each We Community chat summary.   The NMC's Provisional Revalidation Guidance states that you need to record the following: Date of CPD Number of hours Number of participatory hours CPD method  Topic description & how it relates to my practice The identification of the relevant part of code the CPD relates to Evidence of activity  You may also wish to include: Why did you think this chat would be relevant to you, what did you hope to gain? What twists and turns did the chat take, how did opinions differ from participants vary? Did you pick up any ideas to discuss with colleagues later, or even change the way you currently nurse? Do you need to do anything more to follow up your learning? We have created a very simple form that you can add to your portfolio to help you: Chose between a word version to complete digitally or a PDF version to print and complete For more information on revalidation please visit The NMC's Revalidation Guidance & Resources   Posts Please feel free to post in to this blog; you'll need to be logged in via twitter from the top right of the menu to post. @{{Comment.screenName}} {{Comment.DateCreated | date:"dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm"}} {{Comment.Comment}}

Online Courses | Pathoaetiology of shoulder conditions, clinical and imaging diagnosis | CME-CPD | Scoop.it
Shoulder Screening Course In this course you will learn how to systematically work through a process of screening the patient for red flags, other causes of shoulder pain, obtaining appropriate diagnostic imaging, and then classifying shoulder pain into categories that guide management.    Modules: Red Flags You will learn to screen for red flag indicators of potentially serious pathology and refer the patient for necessary evaluation within an appropriate time-frame. Click here to register Health Screening You will learn current health guidelines for alcohol, tobacco and physical activity, and how to screen for risk factors and atypical symptoms and signs of medical conditions that may present with shoulder symptoms. Click here to register Pain and Psychosocial Modifiers In this module you will learn the pathoaetiology and features of various pain states, including the mechanisms behind persistent pain. You will learn how to screen for and manage psychosocial factors and learn about their relationship to persistent pain. Click here to register Cervical Spine and Neurological Examination In this module you will learn about the difference between somatic and radicular pain and how to examine the cervical spine to identify local, or referred pain. You will learn the diagnostic features of cervical radiculopathy, how to perform an accurate and thorough neurological examination. Click here to register Shoulder Imaging In this module you will learn about the strengths and limitations of imaging modalities, indications for imaging, prevalence of imaged pathology and how to read and interpret basic shoulder x-ray views. Click here to register Diagnostic Classification of Shoulder Conditions This module defines “diagnosis”, highlights the importance of the diagnostic process, provides a brief overview of diagnostic accuracy and presents a clinical classification system for shoulder conditions that forms the basis of the modules in the “Diagnosis and Non-Surgical Management” Course. Click here to register Course Aim To produce practitioners who can: Accurately screen patients presenting with shoulder girdle symptoms for red flags, and other causes of symptoms that may require additional investigations or treatment in the primary contact setting. Read basic shoulder x-ray views and interpret findings in the context of patient symptoms.  Classify patients with shoulder symptoms into diagnostic categories that help guide management. Learning Outcomes By the end of the course, the participant will be able to: Identify red flag indicators of serious pathology and refer appropriately. Undertake an efficient and effective health screen for lifestyle and health risk factors, and symptoms and signs of systemic medical conditions presenting with shoulder pain and refer appropriately. Describe the features of different pain states, the mechanisms underpinning persistent pain, and explain the relationship of psychosocial factors to persistent pain. Competently perform an examination of the cervical spine and neurological examination of the upper limb to identify pain referred from the cervical spine or evidence of neurological compromise. Appropriately refer for diagnostic imaging, and describe the strengths and limitations of basic shoulder x-ray views for identifying specific shoulder pathology. Describe the diagnostic classification of the main categories of shoulder conditions that can be identified clinically to guide management.
