This paper summarizes the British Journal of Urology International guidelines for physicians to engage responsibly with social media. They emphasize the importance of considering that online content may exist forever and be available to everyone, that doctors should identify themselves and that the views they express are their own. Digital behavior should align with professional standards, avoiding any impropriety or breach of patient privacy.
