Social media is evolving, and so is the way we engage with surgical professionals and the wider academic community. While X (formerly Twitter) remains a key player, platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn and Blue Sky are shaping new avenues for networking, education, and knowledge sharing. Let’s explore how these platforms function and why they matter for surgeons and researchers.
Instagram: The visual hub of surgery
Instagram is a highly visual platform that allows us to share images, videos, and stories, fostering an engaging way to showcase surgical advancements, conferences, and professional updates. At @bjsacademy and @bjsurgery, we bring you the latest in surgical education and research through dynamic content. Whether it’s behind-the-scenes insights, key takeaways from conferences, or highlights from the latest BJS articles, Instagram makes it accessible and engaging for our growing community.

LinkedIn: Professional networking and knowledge exchange

Designed for networking, career development, and knowledge sharing, LinkedIn fosters professional discussions and collaborations within the global surgical community.
