WTF are you FBing?
July 29, 2011
THIS year’s upcoming Pharmacy
Australia Congress includes a
presentation from Senior Health
Services Research Fellow in
Medicine at Monash University,
Greg Duncan, on how to use social
networking sites, such as Twitter
and Facebook, well.
The presentation will also canvass
potential pitfalls to avoid.
“Numerous reports exist describing
job losses, student exclusion and
more in the pharmacy setting alone
because of what has been
accessible via a personal Facebook
or other site that either identifies
and/or criticises patients, gives
unprofessional (and often uncivil)
criticism of employers or teaching
staff, displays of ‘unprofessional’
behaviours in social settings and so
on,” said Duncan.
“It is neither practical nor
possible to prevent the use of such
digital resources so guidelines for
how to establish and manage a
digital presence and maintain a
professional public persona are
essential,” he added.
PAC11 is being held at in
Melbourne from 6-9 October 2011
