What is WeLearn - #AllOurHealth?
'WeLearn - #AllOurHealth' is a WeCommunities and Public Health England social learning collaboration that will be running throughout January. The key aspects of 'WeLearn - #AllOurHealth' are:
- Learning OUT LOUD in a entirely virtual social media space,
- Short bursts of learning (10-15 minutes a day)
- 4 hour long Tweetchats peppered throughout the month,
- All underpinned by a Twitter hashtag “#AllOurHealth”. Encouraging discussion, sharing and peer to peer support
- Inter-professional learning – because All Our Health is for all of us and we can all learn from each other
Whilst 'WeLearn- #AllOurHealth' will be run from the WeLearn platform it will embrace many types of social media: Twitter, YouTube, Podcasts, Twitter Storms, Steller Stories, Slide Shares, Blogs, Tweetchats and Infographics all of which will help to bring the All Our Health framework to life and into your practice.
Signing up
WeLearn – All Our Health will start in January in two waves.
Wave 1: WeLearn - Social Media
The first wave is for people who have never used social media in a professional capacity before or for people who are unsure about their social media skills. This will start on January 3rd and finish on January 12th and will take people through using Twitter for continuing professional development and will give people the skills they need to continue onto Wave 2
Wave 2: WeLearn - #AllOurHealth
People who feel confident with their social media skills and have a firm grasp of Twitter can hop straight onto Wave 2. Everyone will do Wave 2 and this will be the All Our Health element of the learning. Wave 2 will start on January 15th and finish on February 15th.
'WeLearn - #AllOurHealth' can count towards your professional development and help you to use the evidence, resources and learning that is All Our Health to improve the lives of the people we care for.
To sign up please visit the WeLearn – #AllOurHealth registration page HERE.

Hi Viv,
I have just been made aware this and have missed 'Wave 1' which would have been so valuable. Will you be running this programme again?
Many thanks

Dear Sion
Thank you for your enquiry.
No decision has yet been made on whether to run the programme again. Once completed we need to measure the success of the initial run. Of course, if participants find it of value that will be a factor in any decision.
Best wishes
Viv
