Hi I'm Jon Hoeksma

Jon Hoeksma 18 weeks ago

Hi I'm Jon Hoeksma, editor of EHI. I'm a big fan of social media and Health 2.0 and its application and future potential in healthcare. I was lucky enough to judge the Best use of Social Media in Healthcare category in the EHI Awards 2011 - which attracted a wide range of excellent entries.

A lot of the best examples I've come across in UK healthcare are about using mainstream platforms well -- like GP practices having a YouTube channel or GPs doing email consultations.

I'm particularly interested in tools that enable and encourage patients to take control of their health, and have a more immediate relationship with their healthcare professionals.
