Social media at RCPsych
The College uses a variety of social media platforms to share news and updates.
In addition to College-wide accounts for X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube and SoundCloud there are many X accounts managed by individual teams across the college.
These are used to represent the specific interests of different Devolved Nations, English Divisions, faculties, special interest groups, and committees.
Additionally, many of our members have their own X accounts which they use to discuss issues relating to psychiatry and mental health.
Social media policy
We have a dedicated social media policy for employees, members and patient and carer representatives, as well as a companion guide with advice and guidance on online safety and reducing risks for all College members, including pre-membership psychiatry trainees and retired members.
