@SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ I think each country has its own professional standards and code of ethics. No matter where we are, we need to follow them, not only for ourselves, but also ppl around us (our patients, their families, and our co-workers). #otalk

@OTalk_ #OTalk as a relatively newly qualified OT, I am familiar with them as a student, as a preceptor and as a new professional. They underpin my practice, and are also a resource to turn to for information, confirmation or reassurance.

Teresa Buchan @teresa_buchan
@OTalk_ We have the professional standards as part of preceptorship to help frame objectives for inidividuals. They also help support as practice or operational guidance, when putting a case forward. The code of ethics is often only referred to when having concerns about practice #OTalk

@SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ The standards are often built heavily into student reflection and placement learning. Then why do we fail to continue this as experienced clinicians. They are a go to for advice and guidance but we should use them to reflect and review our practice #OTalk

@MichelleClay_OT @SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ in terms of what I did last year, actually yes! Pulling off a TEDx event (as an item for my "contribution to the profession") is probably one of the most unique and toughest things that anybody from that uni has done from a faculty standpoint. #otalk
Abi @Abi21643842
@Laura_Does @OTalk_ @SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR It's great to hear so many students using the tool, I think we all need to promote it as many people I spoke to had yet to discover it #OTalk

Teresa Buchan @teresa_buchan
@ajciliaOT @SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ I found the tools to be useful. Being visual after and point of reference after reading through the levels. The amount of detail in the levels is a lot to get your head round. The redraft is easier #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@MichelleClay_OT @SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ actually it was the 1st time anyone in OT globally had attempted in curating one of these! It is maddeningly difficult. So, this year- I just use a different item... "event consultant for another local TEDx event". It fits because I volunteer to help the event in 1+ ways. #otalk
Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7
@SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ #OTalk I think it’s easy to ‘get stuck in the weeds’ of the detail and pace of work. Using the resources requires the time, space and motivation to step back and review, this then informs change. Could be revisited as part of appraisal/ self assessment as good practice.

@SetG75 @RCOT_JuliaR @OTalk_ Resources have to be accessible and easy to apply to self and work setting. The career framework has some useful tools. But wouldn't it be great to have some interactive online tools? #OTalk For our support staff, I'm not convinced they know they are for them too
