This summary of the RCGP "Fresh Approach" virtual event, which ran 11-12 February, is based on a NodeXL extract obtained on 17/2/2021. Data for the period 10-13 February were analysed to include coverage of the day before and after the virtual event. Overall there were 155 tweeters over this 4 day period, posting 404 tweets which received 517 retweets by 17/2/2021. Overall 29 tweeters received 80% of all retweets, while 77 tweeters received no retweets. Data were extracted from 507 individual retweets, retweeted by 271 Twitter accounts. 
The top tweeters, retweeters and accounts mentioned in tweets are shown in the Venn diagram. Data are presented in this way is to highlight that there are ways to increase engagement at future events - e.g. people who "just tweeted" might be encouraged to retweet posts that they have found interesting; or individuals or organisations mentioned in tweets might decide to post their own content or retweet posts. 
The top 20 tweeters by number of retweets received are shown in the table, along with the number of followers (range 91-119,203; median 1,850) and number of tweets included in the summary below. This illustrates that number of followers is no object when sharing interesting information on Twitter. 
The top tweets, by number of retweets received, are listed chronologically. There are 68 tweets listed, 4 posted on 10/2/2021, 34 on 11/2/2021 and 30 on 12/2/2021. These tweets were posted by 37 Twitter users. Each of these tweets had received at least 3 retweets by the time of the extract on 17/2/2021. There were no tweets posted on 13/2/2021 that received 3 or more retweets.
