Wednesday 18th December 7:00 PM GMT
Social media has revolutionised professional networking, patient education, and brand building in healthcare. Yet, for surgeons, navigating this digital frontier comes with unique challenges, from ethical boundaries to safeguarding patient privacy and maintaining professional integrity.
To address these complexities, the Surgeon & Social Media webinar, hosted by Professor Shafi Ahmed, promises to be an engaging and insightful event for healthcare professionals. Prof. Ahmed, a renowned chief surgeon, teacher, futurist, innovator, and entrepreneur, has been dubbed the world's most-watched surgeon. He brings a wealth of experience in leveraging technology and social media to revolutionise the surgical field.
"Social media is transforming the way we connect, educate, and share knowledge in the medical field. For surgeons, it offers incredible opportunities to build professional networks, engage with patients, and shape public understanding of healthcare. However, it also demands a deep sense of responsibility to maintain ethical standards and protect patient privacy. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to harness the power of social media effectively and responsibly."
