Hi James,
I've come across almost all of these thanks to them following the NHS Choices accounts, which I run. I'm assume that a fake account wouldn't follow other NHS organisations.

I'll try DMing all of these listed and finding a contact. I don't know if you have access to NHS Comms Link which I mentioned to Huw above - it's aimed at NHS Trust comms staff and has a discussion forum. Some trusts have discussed Twitter but I think this is the only extensive list so far. I've mentioned it and if links to any more are posted, I'll put them up here. What I may do is edit the list above to indicate which accounts I've confirmed are run by the Trusts named.

I'm doing this in an entirely personal capacity, but I know at Choices we're trying to get much more involved in social media, maybe I'll raise the possibility of having an area on trust profile pages they can list their facebook and twitter profile... :)

Great thanks :-)

Great, I've added you (put you in 'related organisations' rather than 'mental health trusts' as you're not specifically an NHS trust, are you?)

Hi,
Been twittering for a while, @mhequalities the National Mental Health Equalities Programme, part of nimhe. New site just gone live, soon to be launched widely

How silly of me - I'm sure I'm following their account with the Choices ones and have even retweeted something by it! I'll add it now, along with another one which just came through.

I am surprised you didn't find NHS Plymouth!

Hi Caspar - this is really useful, and I guess was and will continue to be hard to keep track of - especially as you say because there is no means of authenticating a twitter identity.
Can you push this further? Who in a trust is twittering? Comms? PPI? And what are their aims? And is anyone listening?

Re: NHS organisations on Twitter

Huw Edwards — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 13:41:01 -0000

Yes I'm on Comms link so I'll check it out, thanks a lot.

Thanks Huw. It's worrying that there's no way to verify an account, I had one follow a Choices account called NHSLondon which has been banned so I guess it was reported as being a fake.

Are you on NHS Comms Link? There's a thread in the Digital media clinic forum about twitter, a few of the Trusts listed above have posted about how they're using the service to promote their work.

Hi there! The NHS Hounslow account is official. We would love to get some feedback on what people think of us using Twitter, and how they think we can make the most of it!
