Following the recent NHS Faculty of Health Informatics meeting on Social Networking in the NHS, a wiki has been set up to ensure that everyone can contribute to a discussion paper on “The powers and the perils of using Social Networking tools in the NHS”.

The NHS Faculty of Health Informatics masterclass entitled: “The powers and the perils of using Social Networking tools in the NHS” was held on 15th May 2008 at the British Library in London.

The wiki can be accessed at http://nhssocialnetworking.wetpaint.com and is open to anyone who has something to contribute about this interesting area.

Having co-facilitated the original masterclass, Rowan Purdy, senior consultant at Surepoint, has been commissioned to edit the final discussion paper. We will publish it here soon.
