Course 6 - Being Active in the Digital Health Environment (Course6-EN)

Material

Action 6.2.1 Digital communication on health information (e-mail)

To focus on the communication about health-related topics in the digital environment, two ways are discussed doing the session:

• Writing an e-mail
• Joining in a forum

The learnings should cover the following:

1. How to join a forum? What information can I include by writing a post for a forum?

• • The results of the previous day are to be repeated.

2. How to write an email to a health-care professional? What questions are suitable for an email? Which information need to be included in an email, which ones are not necessary or too detailed?

• • The trainer shows some good-practice examples for an email.
  • In the next step, they collect in the plenum what has to be included in an email on a blackboard/whiteboard/PowerPoint. After that, a checklist, quite similar to the one for a post in a forum, is to be created by each participant. Each participant should compare the checklist with a partner.
