The use of social media has greatly expanded in the last decade, with widespread use of smartphones, the internet, and other multimedia to enhance learning. There is evidence to suggest that social media has a place in healthcare education, but there is limited research to suggest the effectiveness or use of it in dental foundation training. This paper discusses the risks and benefits of social media and suggests that a better understanding of social media and its role in the development and practice of newly qualified dental professionals could benefit both trainees and trainers.

“…13 14 In fact, there is an ongoing debate within the BDJ on the impact and significance of social media on dentistry and dental professionalism.

Its aim was to determine whether students were aware of the standards set by the GDC regarding social media and whether they believed they were being professional in their online activities.…”

Introduction: The social media activity of some healthcare students has created doubt about their ability to uphold and defend the ethical principles of healthcare in their online behaviours. A lot of research has been conducted on the online behaviours of medical and allied health professional students, however, less has been undertaken on dental students. Aims: Its aim was to determine whether students were aware of the guidelines set by the General Dental Council (GDC) regarding social media and whether they believed they were being professional in their online activities. Methods and materials: Eighty-eight dental students (46 from year 2; 42 from year 4) at one UK dental school completed a questionnaire study examining their attitude towards and perceptions of e-professionalism. Results: The results show that most students were heavy users of social media with an awareness of social media guidelines set out by the GDC. However, student responses to various e-professionalism scenarios reveals disagreement on whether posts referring to alcohol and work colleagues were deemed unprofessional. Conclusion: Student perceptions of and attitudes towards e-professionalism is complicated and contradictory. More research will need to be undertaken to explore how we can inculcate eprofessional values and behaviours in dental professionalism teaching. 3 in-brief points • The ubiquity of social media means that it is an inescapable aspect of everyday life and has a direct bearing on professional practice and reputation. • All students underestimated how accessible they are to the public because of what they post online. • Though students have an awareness of GDC social media guidelines, their interpretation of whether it is professional to be implicated in online posts and photos that involve alcohol and workrelated updates was ambivalent.

Conflicting demands that dental professionals experience when using social media

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction There are many conflicting demands for dentists and dental care professionals (DCPs) when using social media, for example between using social media for marketing and as professional provider of information. To gain a fuller understanding of how dentists/ DCPs should optimally use social media, these conflicting demands need to be explored. The aim of this scoping review was to map out the current state of the literature describing the conflicting demands encountered by dentists and DCPs when using social media and the approaches used to manage these conflicting demands. Methods A scoping review was carried out. PubMed and Web of Science Core Collection were searched using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data was extracted from the identified articles and analysed. Results The review identified 39 articles for inclusion. Conflicting demands were related to marketing and education with little information
