@OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Good morning from Australia! This is my first #OTalk.
#OTalk @OTalk_
@embracingOT @Helen_OTUK Welcome #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk.... sorry some lighting issues here....
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I try to reflect on my activities on a monthly basis. I find it easier to keep track and to record a more meaningful record. That’s why I like an online system as I can do it on the train, during a quiet moment or anywhere I like #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q1 #OTalk
Tara Watts @thelibrarianOT
Tuning in for my first #OTalk 😊
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
It generally works for me #OTalk otherwise I forget some of the important learning
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
I'm in the US. CPD is equiv to what we call CEU (continuing Ed credit). Although I'm a student, I will be checking them quarterly as I plan to apply for licensure in several states & will want to make sure that I'm meeting each states req for maintaining licensure. #OTALK
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q2. #OTalk Do you have a strategic overview of your CPD activities? https://t.co/4Bi6HxSH7w
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I like to consider my CPD activities within the 5 pillars of my role and within the types of learning as defined by the HCPC to ensure a range of learning activities and learning styles #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Yes that is important @Helen_OTUK and also it feels less demanding as some of my most significant learning occurs during unexpected exchanges and informal situations #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Absolutely @Helen_OTUK me too 😀 #OTalk
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
I will categorize mine based on broad themes: adults, peds, mental health, etc. #OTalk
Tara Watts @thelibrarianOT
@OTalk_ Last year I was registered as a non-practicing OT but this year I'm happy to be registered as a practicing OT. This means I am definitely in CPD planning mode. With a new job, reviewing my overall CPD goals is a necessity and I'm also enjoying the new direction. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q3 #OTalk How do you decide you have covered a topic or need to cover a topic? https://t.co/rFoykKOUxD
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I don’t know if I am that strategic!! Some of my topics are determined by my PDP and mandatory training. I tend to reflect on CPD experiences and see where they fit with my needs but you’ve got me thinking I might need a different approach #OTalk
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
By writing out specific objectives I liked to achieve. Then researching CPD/CEU events that would assist in meeting those objectives. #Otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
It’s a great tool @SimpsonResearch you will find it really helpful @Helen_OTUK @theRCOT @StephanieFraser #OTalk
Tara Watts @thelibrarianOT
@OTalk_ I'm in the process of working out a strategic plan so advice is welcome. At the moment, I have a notebook dedicated to just OT plans, thoughts, and blog ideas which helps. My blog will also help me keep an overview of my CPD goals and progress. #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Apologies @StephanieFraser and @SetG75 I got my Stephanie’s confused #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I agree to a point @ot_saz but clinical generates lots of amazing CPD opportunities also #OTalk.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Some of my best case studies have come from clinical discussions with some deeper reflections, and possibly some reading to substantiate my thinking. The reflection and reading can be done at any time #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Q4 What CPD activities did you completed in 2018 that you really enjoyed? – This may give others some ideas of things to do. https://t.co/N7Ka3uhDnK
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Excellent well done @ciderwithsophie @Helen_OTUK #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk, another excellent idea!
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
None that I can count at the moment. Still a student. Did attend my state's annual conference. #OTalk
Tara Watts @thelibrarianOT
@OTalk_ I am using my PPR and meetings with my supervisor as an initial guide then I consider my personal passion topics/areas. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Following up with Q5 quickly as related.... Do you have any topics that you feel you need to explore but don’t have a plan on how to do so yet? https://t.co/tF83zV0iv0

For me it was participating in @theRCOT debate at the annual conference. I learnt so much preparing my argument and had great fun delivering. I also learned how to debate apparently as we won @dianecox61. This could easily be translated into a topical debate at work #OTalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I’ve found it gets easier and quicker the more I do it. I also discovered it is about giving this equal priority as without evidence of ongoing development we are not fit to practice!!! #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Wouldn’t it just @Helen_OTUK 😂😂 #OTalk
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
My interest in infant- and maternal mental health has grown o e the course of OT student journey. Luckily, I've found great mentors who are guiding me through the learning process. #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Wowzer only 5 mins left of the first #OTalk of 2019... So has this evening chat highlighted some ResOTlutions? What are your take away thoughts?
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk 15th January 2019 – Applying your learning in Practice https://t.co/j3Uqv7Vxjc
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Thanks for a great start to the year @Helen_OTUK #OTalk definitely some food for thought and my resolution is to work even harder on my monthly reviews and updates. I might also steal your spreadsheet idea 😂

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I’ve been there with the HCPC audit, hence the reason for regularity and strategy 😂😂 #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Yeah me too, I used the graphs in my HCPC submission @Helen_OTUK #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Well we are officially overtime! Thanks for a great first chat of 2019! Keep your ResOTlutions coming.... Its not just for new year! #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Brilliant @Louisepenny87 it truly is a great way to toss around different perspectives. Usually there is no right or wrong answer but it doesn’t half make you think, and it is a safe way to challenge. Good luck and keep us posted @Helen_OTUK #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Thanks @Helen_OTUK you too 👍 #OTalk
