In this Healthed lecture, David Gardner outlines the major risks for healthcare practitioners who engage with social media, even in a non-professional capacity. Apparently, the reality is, anything posted online should be considered permanent and public and needs to uphold a standard of conduct that is consistent with professional standards - even if it is discussing de-identified patients or personal opinions.
