Abstract:
Although an increasingly popular form of online communication and social interaction, social network sites have to be used with caution by district nurses. In common with all health professionals, the scope of a district nurse's accountability extends to their online presence, and inappropriate remarks or pictures posted online can call into question the fitness to practise of the individual. In this article, Richard Griffith and Cassam Tengnah review your accountability, as it applies to your online presence, and discuss the Nursing and Midwifery Council's new advice to nurses and midwives on acceptable use of social networks.
