HOW TO TAKE THE FAMILY MEDICINE TO SOCIAL NETWORKS

The project focus on sharing experiences and good practices in the family medicine in rural areas, through social medias. It aims to disseminate information, successful cases, innovations in management and greater interaction with the community. I created a Facebook page titled “Diário de um posto de saúde” (Diary of a health care center) in which are shared experiences and reports of my routine in different health facilities where I’ve worked (currently located in rural areas). Through this page I could have access to the experiences of other colleagues, members of Family Medicine Strategy Teams, in different regions of Brazil. The interaction with the page readers is mainly through videos, made by me or colleagues, pictures and news regarding the world of Public Health Care. The page currently has more than 8,000 followers with a range of more than 190,000 people. This range provides a greater way of sharing and improvement of new ideas throughout the country and other countries, as well as interaction through comments which adds new views and allows the rise of new guidelines to be shared. For me this experience makes clear that social medias are an extremely important tool in raising awareness and spreading good ideas. Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/DiarioDeUmPostoDeSaude/
