If I Googled you, what would I find? As we move around the online world we leave tracks and traces of our activity all the time: social media accounts, tagged images, professional presences, scraps of text, but also many artefacts we don't always realise we are leaving behind, or that others leave about us. In this course you will hear from a range of experts and you will have an opportunity to explore and reflect on your own online tracks and traces, to understand why your digital footprint is important. We will introduce you to some of the tools and approaches to effectively manage your online presence (or digital footprint). The course will focus on the different dimensions of a digital footprint, including developing an effective online presence, managing your privacy, creating opportunities for networking, balancing and managing professional and personal presences (eprofessionalism). By the end of this course (MOOC) you should be equipped to ensure that your digital footprint works for you, whether you want to be more private online, or are looking to create a more effective and impactful presence.

What does it mean to be an effective online professional?

This week, we examine the idea of a professional online presence and what this might mean for different people and professions. Understanding whether your personal and professional online presence should blur or be kept separate can be a challenge. We will hear from experts in Business, Nursing, Science, Education, and a Careers Consultant. They will provide useful advice on what you can do to make your online presence more professional and potentially help you with finding a job, standing out from the crowd, complying with professional bodies' guidelines, and much more. The activities, including the quizzes and peer assessment will help you to reflect on your own online presence. There will also be an opportunity to get advice from your peers and consider putting into action what you have learned during this course.

So there's obviously, a lot of benefits for nurses to be online and

have that presence online where there's engaging, as we said with studies.

Or Perhaps in relation to that, your profession, engaging with patients, etc.

But there's also some challenges.

What would you say was the biggest challenge to nurses

having an online presence?

>> If you look at the evidence, if you look at the literature,

there is clear benefits to having >> Good presence or

using technology in care.

Patient, themselves, nurses are advocates, patient's advocates.

And patient have gained a lot of benefits from social media, for example.

They are better informed.

They have opportunity to- >> As we say,

be part if this decision making process through understanding and

through access to relevant, timely, accurate information.

But some of the information is not necessarily accurate.

>> Right.

So, we need as healthcare professionals,

we need to be guarded around the kind of things that are out there.

And make sure that our patients understand the risks,

some of the risks that are out there in terms of misinformation,

the harm that some information may have.

And so,

I would suggest that as a professional you need to have the knowledge and

understanding and real appreciation of the benefits and some of the risks.

>> So I would assume some of the risks would also include things like

personal safety.

And where appropriate,

that there has to be that distance kept between the patient and the nurse.

Because of professionalism.

>> Yeah. >> To manage those boundaries and

that's some of the things that we've looked at on this course around

making sure that you're happy with your own boundaries.

And is that something as well that you would encourage nurses to do is make sure

they manage those boundaries not only for themselves but for their profession?

>> Again, it's an interesting question.

Nursing is a very intimate Profession.

>> Mm-hm.

>> You are asked to care for your patient doing some very intimate activities.

>> Mm-hm. >> So when we talk about boundaries,

when we talk about therapeutic interactions, we're really thinking about

the face-to-face interaction, where in the online environment it's very different.

So professional boundaries are important,you have to remember

the boundaries in terms of your own safety,the reputation

of the profession,some of the challenges that other nurses faced and

the consequences they had and.

But I guess the message for me is for nurses to be bold, for

nurses to push the boundaries, to see if you can have this innovative,

use innovative tools, try to push nursing into the 21st century,

but be mindful of the boundaries.

>> Do you think that that >> A some of

the professional bodies guidelines that nurses have to comply with.

I don't know if you'd perhaps say a little bit about professional bodies guidelines

in relation to nursing.

>> Okay so nursing is a profession and

we are governed by the nursing we do constantly here in the UK.

We also have a number of professional bodies such as the World College

of Nursing.

If you are a midwife you are bound by the Could be part of the [INAUDIBLE].

We have allied help profession community practitioner and professional body.

So you have a whole range of opportunity to get at

professional literature around your practice.
