The Healthcare Social Media Influencer Program which took place at the Public Health Association enlightened me about what good digital citizenship is and how to use it to advance healthcare. The program gave me an opportunity to make a difference by leveraging tools like the web to help promote an inspiring global vision for Universal Health Coverage. It also inspired me to start #LadiesGoals, a community focused on Women Empowerment and Gender Equality.

I have been on Twitter since 2009 but never before have I got to fully understand the impact of hashtags and the importance of thinking about what hashtags to put in a post and how that can potentially affect how the tweet message is perceived by my audience, or whether the message I want to put across, does actually get across. The Healthcare Social Media training was an eye opener and gave me the skills I needed to effectively use Social Media for sharing useful healthcare information. I would recommend this for everyone.
