To help DDU members navigate the ethical and legal maze of social media, we have developed a comprehensive online e-learning module that will guide you through the principles of using it responsibly and professionally.

From interacting with patients or colleagues to marketing yourself and your practice to a wider audience, the different sections will equip you with the knowledge you need to make social media an integral part of your professional life.

Choose your route through the course, making your way through nine different interactive scenarios:

Dealing with online criticism
Patient or friend?
Respecting confidentiality
Sharing experiences on private forums
Dealing with professional criticism
Using messaging apps
Posting images and case studies
Your professional reputation
Advertising rules

You'll be asked how you would respond in a certain situation and given feedback on your choices. You'll also be quizzed on your learning as you go, and a final assessment at the end of the module will test your knowledge and give you the chance to earn CPD to add to your portfolio.
