ATTRACT NEW AND RETAIN EXISTING CUSTOMERS
According to a PwC Health Research Institute study, 41% of people said social media would affect their choice of a specific doctor.

RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS
Social media is a great way to raise public awareness about new and emerging health concerns or educate the public about wide-spread diseases and their prevention. It gives you the possibility to communicate fast and directly with the public. Create a social wall dedicated to the campaign and display relevant posts on it to create visibility and awareness.
PUBLICISE YOUR RESEARCH AND STAY UP-TO-DATE
Scientific findings are shared on social media and discussed by the medical community. Collect and display social media posts that are most relevant to your research. Make the social wall available to your research team to support them with always up-to-date information on the newest findings. Equally, share your own cutting-edge research to make it available to other researchers.
ENABLE AND SUPPORT SELF-CARE FOR PATIENTS
40% of those polled in the PwC Health Research Institute study said information found on social media would affect the way they coped with a chronic condition, their approach to diet and exercise. Use social media to inform and provide a community for patients with chronic diseases. Encourage them, show them exercises for everyday life and let them exchange experiences with other patients. Collect all posts on a real-time social feed on a dedicated page or microsite.
