We’ve always done it this way- Is it time to explore new ways of sharing information?

2. How the EKHUFT CCOT developed new ways of sharing information

3. Traditional communication
Usually involves communicating with staff during ‘office hours’
Meetings
Newsletters
Traditional wys of communicating usually involve activities held during Monday- Friday 9-5
However, there are some problems with relying solely on this type of communication: not everyone who you want to communicate is available at these times
Working patterns have changed
More staff are working to cover 24hr 7 day service, that means that they don’t always access information – they do’t attend meetings, many ward staff can’t be spared to attend meetings or training sessions, not everyone opens s or reads them
The CCOT began to realise that we were not able to each all the staff we wanted to communicate with so, we sat down and had a think about how we could improve our communication

4. Our aims Raise awareness of what the team does
Recognise and reward good practice
Advertise when we hold training sessions
Raise awareness of campaigns sepsis
- deteriorating patient

5. Questions we asked Who are we communicating with
Is the medium we communicate with important
What mediums are there for communicating
what can we do that is free

6. Why we use social media People use social media It’s a powerful tool
Visual images sell
We can control our information
Build an image/ brand

7. So how successful is social media
996 regular followers on facebook
449 followers on twitter
We can communicate 24/7
We communicate beyond the Trust
We use the accounts for different purposes
