Physiotalk: connectedness and constructive change - a qualitative study

Abstract

Physiotalk was launched in December 2013. Its main purpose is to help physiotherapists learn, share, influence and ultimately improve services for patients and communities through fortnightly tweetchats and related blogs. In 2016 analysis of usage demonstrated the reach of the Physiotalk community both within the UK and globally [1]. There was, however, a need to explore further beyond these metrics to look at the impact of taking part in a Physiotalk tweetchat on participants with particular reference to their continuing professional development (CPD).
