#myHCPCstandards: ‘Send to all!’ Challenges and opportunities of social media

#myHCPCstandards is a programme of online and in-person learning sessions that support HCPC-registered professionals with meeting the standards.

In this 45-minute webinar, we'll explore the revisions that have been made to the social media guidance that accompanies the standards of conduct, performance and ethics. We'll look at the boundary between freedom of expression and professional responsibility, when it comes to sharing your values, beliefs, professional opinions and views.

By the end of the session we aim to have improved your understanding of where that boundary lies, the challenges and opportunities of social media use in a professional or personal capacity and how to benefit from those opportunities - whilst mitigating against the risks.

This is one of two webinars on the same topic, covering the same information at different times.

You can read the revised standards and revised social media guidance now. The revisions come into effect on 1 September 2024.

You will be able to submit questions ahead of the webinar in the sign up form.
