Social Media Prescription
Gayle Carney of Tech for Social Change Baltimorecreated a “prescription sheet” to welcome our patients as they came in.
The idea is that they write their ailment at the top of a prescription form and then you direct them to a doctor who could help. They or the doctor fill in the solution at the bottom.

Surveying Patients
It’s good to get a sense of the needs of your patients before they arrive.
One way is to create a survey as part of your RSVP process. Check out this example survey from Net2 Burlington.
- Patient survey email invitation
- Example survey form in Google Drive
HINT: you can make a copy of this Google Form to easily adapt it for your own purposes.
Tips
- Avoid being a Surgeon – the event will go more smoothly if you act as host and facilitator.
- Get a sense of your Patient’s needs ahead of time by using a survey and sharing this information with your Surgeons. You might have to tentatively assign surgeons, but be flexible.
- Tea and Crumpets are part of the magical formula (the Surgery was invented in the United Kingdom!)
- Surgeries can be offered individually or to groups.
