Overview

In a recent study conducted by a leading healthcare organisation in the UK, it was found that hospitals and health authorities that effectively utilise social media platforms experience higher patient satisfaction rates and improved health outcomes. The study revealed that active engagement on social media channels, such as sharing informative content, responding to patient queries, and promoting health campaigns, resulted in increased patient trust, enhanced communication, and a sense of community within the healthcare ecosystem. These findings highlight the growing importance of social media strategies in the healthcare industry and the need for professionals equipped with the knowledge and skills to harness its potential.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
