CONSIDERATIONS

• Professionalism: standards and principles of the profession apply in all forms of communication.

UPHOLD PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

• Privacy and Confidentiality: ensure social media postings do not reveal personal health information, including via image metadata &/or anecdote.

PROTECT THE CLIENT

• Risk Management: level of risk should be re-assessed on a regular basis; monitor sites regularly and recognize potential for all communication on social media sites to be public and permanent (including ‘Closed’ Groups).

MONITOR YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES
