The @NHSHertsTwitter account is run by the communications team at NHS Hertfordshire.

Posts (Tweets)

We aim to post several Tweets each week day covering matters such as local and national health news, health messages with links to our website and retweeting interesting health-related information from other NHS and local partner organisations. Where a tweet includes a link we will use http://bit.ly to abbreviate it. 

Following

NHS Hertfordshire will follow users who are relevant to our organisation. These may include other  NHS Trusts, local authorities, voluntary organisations, public sector organisations and the local media. We do not automatically follow people if they follow us; our followers may not be relevant to us. Being followed does not mean we endorse our followers.

We do not offer a health advice service via Twitter. If you need advice about local health services or have concerns about a service you have received, our Patient Advice and Liaison Service can help.

Any false statements made about our organisation will be corrected.
