Following on from the theme of the digital age, I was enthused and inspired by a blog I read by Annie Coops.
Recently acknowledged by the HSJ and NT as a Social Pioneer, Annie talks about the untapped potential she believes that social media offers nurses. I particularly liked her view that Social Media can break down boundaries and flatten hierarchies, but also that it has the potential to change the nature of the power based relationship between systems and people. This was particularly resonant for me and in a way identifies part of the issues and challenges nurse specialists face in making their voice heard.
So….The weekend’s coming up and I would recommend a quiet 10 minutes with a glass of something reflecting on the potential of Social Media for specialist nurses and Annie Coops pioneering perspective.
