On today's podcast, we've invited four hospice and palliative care social media influencers (yes, that's a thing!), all of whom focus their efforts on educating the general public about living and dying with a serious illness. Their work is pretty impressive in both reach (some of their posts are seen by millions of viewers) and breadth of work.  We've invited:


We covered a lot of topics in the podcast from:: 

  • What motivated them to create public-facing social media channels?

  • Why focus on the public rather than other health care providers?

  • How do they deal with professional barriers and the barrage of comments?

  • Advice for others who might want to dabble in social media outreach

 

So, take a listen and check out their social media sites to get inspired. Just don't let Alex make me do another TikTok dance…
