Explaining GoShare to patients#
This video provides some tips and language to use when describing the GoShare digital patient education platform to patients. This can help to increase trust from the patient’s perspective and open rates as a result.
Patient Engagement Tips#
Prior to sending a bundle to a patient, check if the patient:
- consents to receive digital education sent to their device/email – they can opt out anytime by replying STOP to the SMS,
- has access to a device to receive information electronically,
- has adequate data or wifi to receive information digitally.
When you ask permission to send the information to your patient, explain what they will receive, and suggest they keep an eye out for it.
Eg. ‘You will receive an email (or SMS) from GoShare Healthcare with information about [topic]. You have an opportunity to let us know how helpful it was at the bottom of the content page.‘
Click here to download the GoShare Healthcare Patient Brochure which you may print and provide to your patient, or make available in the waiting room.
Other tips include:
- Ask the patient for feedback about the information sent to them at the next appointment (refer to it, ask them if they understood the information, ask if they have any questions).
- If sending by SMS, reassure the patient that when they receive an SMS from the service/department that it is not spam – they can safely open the link. The name of the service/department (and the patient’s first name) will be in the SMS message.
- If sending by SMS include the service/department contact phone number to increase credibility, if appropriate.
- If possible, clinicians should familiarise themselves with the patient experience of GoShare so that they can describe it to patients if asked:
- You will receive an email or SMS from us
- Click/tap the link in the message
- This will take you to a content page with helpful information
- You are able to give us some feedback
- Teams could send bundles to each other before starting to send to patients.
- Do not include too many content items in a content bundle. Aim for 2-4 content items where possible.
If the patient has limited data or wifi, you may choose to limit the amount of video’s sent to the patient. Please see below some context regarding the data required to view GoShare content:
- the video content on GoShare (the ‘stories’) are typically 30-40MB in size. A couple of the longer videos may be around 70MB,
- The animations are usually around 50-60MB,
- The PDF resources (most of which are found in the ‘info sheets’ section) are usually 2-3MB in size.
To put that in perspective:
- a standard $15p/m phone plan includes 5GB of data ( approx 5,000MB).
- This plan could watch one of the larger videos (60MB) on GoShare about 80 times.

Send to list
This GoShare training video explains how to import a list of recipients to GoShare in the format of a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. These files are commonly produced when exporting demographic information from another software program such as a hospital EMR (Electronic Medical Record) or clinic PMS (Practice Management Software). The Send to List feature is a particularly efficient way to send one bundle to multiple recipients in one activity.
This is helpful if you are trying to communicate with a large group and don’t want to manually enter recipients into GoShare, one by one. Detailed instructions about how to prepare the list are on GoShare. You are also able to download a template .csv which you can use to build your list of recipients.
To access the ‘Send to list’, select your chosen bundle and click
Send another bundle to list
Access to this functionally is limited. Contact the support team on support@goshare.com.au for access to this function
This video covers the process of selecting a group of recipients who have already been sent a bundle using the ‘send bundle to list’ function and configuring another sent activity to that same group of recipients. This includes the ability to configure a ‘nudge’ or ‘follow up’ SMS to be sent only to recipients who have not opened the bundle from the original activity.
This functionality is commonly used to setup ongoing large group education programs where recipients have agreed to be sent ongoing health education over a specified time period. nb: Recipients can still reply STOP at anytime to be unsubscribed from the activity.

Create a program and schedule bundles#
This GoShare training video explains how to create an automated digital program or ‘schedule’ of bundles to be automatically sent to patients over a specified time period. This is particularly useful is the clinical areas of pre/post surgery, rehabilitation programs and maternity.
You can create and schedule a digital program by combining saved bundles which can be delivered to recipients over time at defined intervals.

To name your Program, click on the icon, select Update Title, type in new name and click to save. Your saved Program will appear in the left-hand column.
To get started, decide on the number of content bundles in your program and how these might be sequenced. Create the bundles as per the above steps. When creating a bundle for a program, each bundle should be given a topic name and number to ensure it is easy to sequence them.
Bundle 1
Click “Add Bundle”. Click “Select” under Bundle 1 and choose from your saved bundles.
You can customise the text message for email and SMS for this bundle. You can choose to send either an email, an SMS or both by ticking the boxes. The [recipient] field will automatically pick up the recipient’s name when it is sent.
You can save progressively after each bundle is added or continue to the completion.

Uploading new content to GoShare#
We are constantly adding new content to our already substantial online patient education library, this is an ongoing task and we encourage new content requests from customers.
Ensuring that every hospital, health service and medical practice has access to the most relevant digital patient educational material to their needs is one of the highest priorities of the support team.
To request new content to be added, please download and complete the below form then email to support@goshare.com.au.
Prior to submitting a content upload request, please ensure that you have addressed your own organisations internal governance processes to ensure the resources are appropriate for use within your organisation.
Please click here to download a copy of the Content request upload form.
Healthily will then seek approval from the content owners before making resources available on GoShare. This approval process is often fast tracked due to relationships already in place between Healthily and peak health bodies around Australia.
As a general rule, GoShare provides users with access to resources developed by credible Australian health organisations only. Organisations using GoShare may also choose to deactivate any topics or have content removed from their custom version of GoShare.
