The EHS actively present on Twitter since 2016. We’d like to introduce you to what we have been doing by utilizing HashTags (#) on Twitter.
One capability of Twitter is unique compared to the rest: HashTags enable users to filter and access previously stacked information easily. They connect posts of a specific topic under an ’umbrella’ designated by a name such as #HerniaSurgery. They are somewhat the equivalent of keywords in scientific articles.
By utilising existing HashTags and creating new ones as needed, we have established a ‘HashTag Library on Hernia’ which enables our followers to easily reach and share any specific information they may be looking for. We call it ‘Herniapedia’.

@bait_alex @eurohernias The patient must not be allowed to feel alone in this treatment option. Regular monitoring of hernia, advice on living with hernia, support from family and fellow patients is important.
@eurohernias At first glance #HerniaGPT reassures the patient about non operative management. From a surgeons side, this looks sufficient. But how does it look from the patient side?
