nhssm stands for NHS social media.
It is a community-owned resource for NHS staff and anyone interested in healthcare and the web, who want to talk to each other.
It is not run by the NHS, sanctioned by the NHS or officially endorsed in any way.
It’s primary aim is to help NHS staff learn about social media, share ideas and experiences.
The community is facilitated by Alex Talbott, Tim Lloyd and Colin Wren. Each of us help to promote weekly chats on Twitter and offer advice from our relevant fields of knowledge.
The weekly chat on Twitter takes place every Wednesday evening at 8pm (GMT) using the #nhssm hashtag. If you have a subject you would like to see discussed in the chats then tweet us @nhssm or leave a comment on this site.

I have asked to formulate a policy for using social media for my unit but I have no idea what it should contain. I tried asking #nhssm on Twitter but got no response. Could anyone help?
