The benefits of GP practices using social media

Colne Family Practice in East Lancashire has been successfully using social media to benefit their patients for a while.

And recently, GP Dr Rahul Thakur and nurse Cheryl Golding were shortlisted for a prestigious national award for their work for diabetes patients.

In our new interview, Dr Thakur talks about his and the practice’s use of social media to benefit patients, how social media has helped improve his practice and why he thinks other GP practices should consider using it.
