The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) would like to remind all healthcare practitioners of the utmost importance of adhering to our Social Media Policy. As dedicated professionals in the field of healthcare, it is imperative that we maintain the highest standards of ethics and professionalism both within and outside the clinical setting.
Social media platforms offer a valuable means of communication and information-sharing, but they also present unique challenges. We urge all practitioners to exercise discretion when engaging in online activities, ensuring that patient confidentiality and privacy are rigorously protected. By strictly following our Social Media Policy, we can collectively uphold the integrity of the healthcare profession, preserve trust, and safeguard the well-being of our patients.
