This is Natalie's presentation that launches her report on Web 2.0 and Social Media in Education and Research that she has produced on behalf of the NHS-HE Connectivity Best Practice Working Group. It aims to highlight the benefits and utility of these tools as well the risks and makes recommendations on how they should be handled in the NHS, as connectivity to such tools is often currently blocked in the NHS.

Natalie has been tracking the use of  Web 2.0 and Social Media tools for clinical education, and barriers to this, for the NHS-HE Connectivity Best Practice Working Group. This is an update following the increasing publication of guidelines by professional groups and usage policies by NHS Trusts and Health Boards.
