ABSTRACT
The use of technology is transforming society-underpinning communication, information gathering and collaboration. Indeed, 2013 may prove to be the tipping point for healthcare delivery. No longer are policies and guidance documents being produced solely on the basis of cautions and negatives. We are entering a new era. Documents are now being produced that are constructive, focusing equally on positives and collaboration. Digital engagement within nursing and healthcare communities can be a tremendously positive experience; with the help of online resources, we can be part of the tipping point. From micro blogging to content communities, from collaborative projects to social networking, Web2.0 technology is providing 21st-century practitioners with opportunities we have not yet fully realised the potential of-for ourselves, our patients or our institutions. In this article, I share my personal journey, aiming to show my fellow healthcare practitioners how these technologies might be used to inform and improve nursing practice, within urology and beyond.
