Those of you who have found and read our blog likely also know that Injury Prevention has a twitter feed. We use twitter to call attention to papers in the journal, to news from the BMJ Group of general interest to authors in biomedical fields and to interesting observations, events and data from the broader community. If you haven’t already done so, please follow\u00a0@IPJournal_BMJ<\/a><\/p>\n

If you haven’t ventured into twitter you’re missing out on a convenient and efficient way to micro blog about your papers, conferences, ideas and interests whilst simultaneously following others. As is often the case, those of us in healthcare and public health are well behind our colleagues in industry in learning about the strategic use of twitter to shape opinion, promote content and keep our audience engaged. But there are plenty of creative minds working to change that. For example, enterprising junior doctors in the UK have used the medium to conduct a fortnightly “twitter journal club” with remarkable success: \u00a0http:\/\/www.twitjc.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
