Guest hosting a #We... chat is a great way for individuals* to share the specialist knowledge and expertise that you have with the online community. You don't have to be a director of nursing or a consultant or manager to guest host as everyone adds value! So if you have a particular field of interest or expertise or you have had a recent experience or read an article that has made you it would be valuable, or have submitted some research to the #We... chatting community then apply to be a guest host.
Guest hosting does take a little bit of time and commitment though – so here's a run-down on what a guest host would face:
Write some pre chat information (about 200 – 300 words) with some links to relevant reading, posing questions and get people thinking prior to the chat (you've seen the way we do this lots in the chat calendar).
Lead the chat – ask questions, tweet thoughts, ask others opinions and answer any questions they may have. Your chat facilitator @We... will be there to back you up, round up any non hashtaggers and RT important points.
Write a post chat blog that summarises the chat (about 500 words) This needs to summarise the general themes of the chat and you thoughts and feelings about the chat. Please bear in mind that we would need within 24 hours post chat.
We've complied a form to fill in to apply to be a guest host that you can download from (word document) below, of course this applies to all the #We... chats including @WeNurses @WeParamedics @WePharmacists @WeLDnurses @WeMidwives @WeSchoolNurses @WeCommissioners @WeMHNurses
