@OTalk_ for me its about highlighting what is unique about the profession of OT #Otalk
Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT
@FionaPageOT My green trousers....!! Not that people who don't wear green trousers don't have professional identity!! I worked hard for the privilege and am so proud to wear them...#OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@FionaPageOT good question- I think it is what sets us apart from other professional disciplines that we work with. After all, not only we need to explain such to the other multidisciplinary members we work with, we also have to do so publicly, too. #otalk

Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT
@FionaPageOT In all seriousness...for me, its about holistic assessment, client-centeredness and working towards individualised goals of the patient...I don't think there's many professionals who say they work that way #OTalk

@FionaPageOT Putting on the OT lens and making my practice patient centred. Sometimes I can't turn off that OT lens even at home 😛 #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT Green trousers don't exist in the USA. So, it has to show up in other ways in our work attire- badges, lab coats, T-shirts, etc. #otalk
sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott
@KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT Ive never worn them but I still oddly love them. #Otalk

@mrsmcinburtott @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ that's why I decide to unleash a dream final in a leadership class I am hopefully teaching- my students will do a mock TEDx open mic audition to a curator. I need to grill them to do this in high stakes situations. Things will only get easier from there. :) #otalk

@laughingmind @dmay_ot that must be really tricky - we have been watching it on the news here in the UK. the acute displacement of people has such a negative impact on every day tasks. are OTs involved in the supporting services ? #OTalk

@dmay_ot @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT do you think a uniform or some sort of identifier is useful to highlight our professional identifier to others? I think it many settings it does #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
My external factor- It's always a delicate balance because I am also an online influencer and I also need to do some autism self advocacy work from time to time. So, I am hoping to use my proud accomplishments from what I have overcome to share OT's distinct value. #otalk
Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT
@AideenKa @FionaPageOT A short-term community rehabilitation service...I love the fact, I work with patients in their own homes. Working in an acute system is a different set of skills but I think we're still able to provide an element of the above which is unique #OTalk

@FionaPageOT @Maddy_OT I agree with this. I also got the benefit of being on TEDx stage twice as a speaker. Those experiences also toughened me up because I didn't want to look like an idiot on it. #otalk
sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott
@colourful_ot @FionaPageOT #OTalk i agree - with experience comes confidence
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EmRodriguesOTS absolutely. I think social media has really changed the landscape of OT. It has helped us to find like minded peers as friends and colleagues for decades to come! #otalk
sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott
@AideenKa @FionaPageOT #OTalk thats so interesting isnt it. does that dilute our professional identity do you think or enhance it ( or maybe both!)

Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT
@emmaspellmanOT @Ruth_Hawley @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT I truly believe that because we are such a small profession (in comparison to other professions), there is this unwritten rule re: the community feel of OT's when they work together/ support each other & helps to maintain professional identity #OTalk
Carolinewoodger @carolinewoodger
@FionaPageOT #otalk after 15 years I'm finally back in a specific OT role rather than a practitioner role. Feels really good to have the professional boundaries

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@FionaPageOT definitely. TEDx event curating is a pretty new frontier for OT's to explore. We as a profession are quite new to it even though many of us are fans of these videos and some of us have given talks on that stage. There is a lot of potential, but there's also a lot of risk. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@natlouj @FionaPageOT Yes- that's why if I do get to implement my dream final exam... although I know the students will wonder WTH was I thinking, they may look back later and think, "Now I know why Bill used his creativity and experience to train us to think about our professional identities." #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @Ruth_Hawley:
Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT
@KtBergson @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT I believe generic working is about upskilling and acquiring skills which aren't necessarily traditional to an OT role. I think this is great but its easy to lose OT specific skills. Thoughts? #OTalk

@Ruth_Hawley @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT Totally agree with this. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@francesca0587 @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT For me, it is a lot of self motivation for career development. Academia is my ultimate goal and I know I need to do what I can to get myself there. Of course, giving back to the profession also brings a lot of satisfaction, too! #otalk

Hi @ejsprey just one t in #OTalk
sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott
@natlouj @FionaPageOT #OTalk i think having a strong sense of self is so important to new graduates and that they feel part of a community. I wonder how we can ensure this happens with our graduate programme ( I hope it does already) but keen to know more thoughts
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just the one t in #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@FionaPageOT I will use back the TEDx curating example I gave. Opportunity- technically they are open opportunities to help get the latest and most relevant messages we want the public to hear out there. Challenge- TEDx curation is still a relative unknown to us as a profession. #otalk

Question 3 #otalk

sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott
@OTalk_ #OTalk i think one challenge will be to ensure that globally we can continue to strengthen our professional identity and dont fragment as we work within different services

@KtBergson So are we saying there are two components - inner belief, self-perception, identity etc and external perception? #Otalk

@FionaPageOT In terms of development, I believe we will need to continue to keep people at home and almost have extensions of acute hospitals in the community to prevent hospital admissions (both in physical & mental health). I believe OT's have a key role to play in this aspect #OTalk (1/2)
sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott
