Recent studies have demonstrated that people near end of life are happy to participate in research and want their voice heard. One way of accessing and letting their voice be heard is through social media (SM). This paper provides a comprehensive summary, including it's theoretical underpinnings, and recent examples of successful uses of SM in healthcare research. Implications for palliative care clinicians, researchers and policy makers are also discussed.
