@DrAntheaRhodes speaking on some new-fangled thing called #socialmedia in healthcare #DFTB22

Myths and misinformation are spread person-to-person within their networks.

10% of Australian parents think vaccines can cause autism.

The crowd is out-creating the experts 24:1. #DFTB22

Booster seats.
Parents know the law. May not know best-practice.

Scientists and CHOs become the celebrities during pandemics. #DFTB22

Live-feed discussing issues. Lots of reach - seen by 1:2 Vic parents.

Not straight-forward. Trolls. Needed moderation. #DFTB22

#ReflectivePractice

Before you post:
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Is it helpful?
