Surgery Managers

This website is a place created by Podnosh for people to publicise, manage and monitor their own social media surgeries.

Your surgery manager is a good person and we don't expect them to do anything besides very social things. If you have a question about a surgery your first port of call is your surgery manager – after all it's their surgery, not ours.

If you have a problem with your surgery manager please contact us.

This website

This website is made by the people at Podnosh in Birmingham, UK.

We care about the "Social Media Surgery Plus" name and logo, the website's look and feel, our software code and scripts, and our social computing techniques and how we apply them to monitoring help given at social media surgeries. All these things are unique to Podnosh and are our property. You can use them only as follows:

You can use this site for free to publicise and manage one social media surgery to support local community groups, voluntary organisations, active citizens or charities.

If you want to use this site to run several surgeries – and monitor the help given and online activity as a result of sites created or assisted with at your surgeries – contact us.

Looking for ways to share your passion for your local community or your interests?

Wondering how a group or organisation that you belong to could get their message across to a wider audience?

Have a website for your organisation that is difficult or expensive to update?

Then why not come along to a social media surgery and find out how blogs, video clips, photo sharing sites, Facebook, Twitter and other free web tools could help you or your group?

Hosted in an informal setting at the Light House Media Centre, the surgery is particularly aimed at those from community and voluntary groups wanting to learn how to use the social web. Free web tools can help you to organise activities, promote events, raise funds, collect feedback from your participants and keep a record of everything you do.

No boring speeches, no jargon and free!

All of our helpers are volunteers or staff from local organisations who know enough about using social media tools to help someone else. You don’t need any previous knowledge to take part, and there won’t be any lectures. We’ll talk to you one-to-one, listen to what you need and explain things clearly.

Light House Media Centre has welcomed us freely, so please take the opportunity to buy their fantastic coffee and food to say thank you!

Light House Media Centre is located in The Chubb Buildings in Wolverhampton city centre just 2 minutes walk from the rail station and 5 minutes walk from the Metro station and city centre bus stops. Cycle parking is located inside the covered courtyard and free car parking is available adjacent to the building after 5pm.
