Abstract

Social media has the power to enable healthcare professionals to share their research findings, develop their knowledge and skills, and network with colleagues in an inclusive environment. However, this comes with risks and limitations. For community nurses, where the boundaries between their personal and professional lives can be challenged, awareness of policy and regulation is even more imperative. The author explores the benefits of networking on social media platforms in conjunction with regulatory body guidance and cautions to be considered.
