#solo10 Breakout 6 The health conversation on the social web: laboratory or echo chamber?

With Andrew Spong, Erik van der Zijden, Graham Steel & Justin Kerr-Stevens - recorded on 4th September 2010 at The British Library, London.

An intro to:-

A number of regular health conversations take place on Twitter under hashtags such as #hcsm #socpharm #RNchat and #hcsmeu which have been effective in connecting early adopters of social technologies who have an interest in the discussing health on the social web. However, is their utility plateauing? Are they managing to recruit sufficient members from all of the key stakeholder communities in the health conversation (patients, carers, healthcare professionals, providers, industry, policy makers) to merit the claim that they are truly inclusive? Are they talking to themselves, or making a substantive impact on the future of health communications? What else could they be doing"?
