| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Between yourself and fellow colleagues, as well as yourself with patients and other staff at your surroundings. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Welcome along Suzanne ๐๐ผ #OTalk |
 | Rachel Payne @RachieRuu First time tweeting during the #otalk Totally excited to see how this goes and get contributing! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk https://t.co/AqAI3gE7uT |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] And of course- boundaries are also involved between student and current OT course instructors. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @KathrynRamsden Good point Kathryn. Dont forget to include the #Otalk hashtag in all your tweets so everyone can your input ๐๐ผ |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk And that is definitely an important subject now given how easily accessible we are to each other as well as info about others. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @carspring27 [REDACTED USER] In terms of social media, mostly I have to be my own teacher... though I do receive feedback from time to time. #otalk |
| Ben Kirkwood ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ @OT_BenK Q1) professional boundaries for me are is showing respect, honesty and communicating appropriately to other professionals and service users. Yet keeping my personal life personal #otalk |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk I think this is even more important given once something is online it's hard to get rid of, even if it gets deleted. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ESpencerOT Dont forget to include the #OTalk hashtag in all your tweets Emily. We wouldnt want anyone to miss your input ๐๐ผ |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] The only thing standard I wear to work now is my lab coat. Though I do try to wear an OT shirt to go along with it to distinguish myself at work. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachieRuu: @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk I think this is even more important given once something is online it's hard to get rid oโฆ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk https://t.co/Cm0HmiSmvJ |
| @LynneGoodacre Thatโs an interesting point to explore, because my gut reaction to that was hmmm I not sure about this. Do professional boundaries extend into my personal life and if so how far #OTalk https://t.co/KCp1fOWiwA | |
 | Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden @OTalk_ #Otalk understanding professional identity and being sensitive around information sharing. I also think itโs important to understand what you feel confident and competent to manage. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Practice makes perfect... keep tweeting ๐ #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @carspring27 [REDACTED USER] And then as our roles evolve, the landscape also changes too. For example, now I got to be very careful about making comments regarding OT associations. #otalk |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT I Think It Is At The Juncture When Personal Thoughts & Feelings Branch Off From Standards Which Have To Be Adhered To By A Profession/Professional #OTalk https://t.co/VJ2rjiSVgC |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @robbrooks_uk @ot_benk I personally am open book in terms of social media. I probably am more open than a lot of people about having autism in OT. #otalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] #Otalk they say that therapeutic use of self can also be important but maybe to be aware of attachments. |
| @LynneGoodacre These are grey areas. not being part of chit chat over lunch can set you apart in a negative way. You can still be boundaried in informal situations #OTalk https://t.co/EntMxh5PUQ | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @RachieRuu @robbrooks_uk If you have a leadership position, you should add, โWill the people I serve want to read this message?โ #otalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT Very True...Good Point...Building Relationships Requires Sharing.. #OTalk https://t.co/7klPvj7h5F |
| @LynneGoodacre Maybe itโs honouring the values implicit in professionalism that permeates everything rather than the boundaries themselves? A little less frightening? #OTalk https://t.co/c6AkuT45ZY | |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] #Otalk itโs important to form relationships with colleagues differently to clients but in all cases over sharing can be viewed negatively on you as a person |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @EmilyDeadman [REDACTED USER] Good question- I personally like to keep distance if I work w/ them regularly on social media space. But in my setting... never say never when it comes to working w/ some1 again. I say that because I now work w/ a director of rehab regularly after not seeing her for 2 yrs. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @robbrooks_uk @ot_benk For me, that can be a blur because there are posts that represent both perspectives. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget to include the #OTalk hashtag in all your tweets so others can see your input. They also wont show up in the post chat transcript. https://t.co/hohX0iWnd7 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] @EmilyDeadman [REDACTED USER] Yeah- I definitely would not prescribe everyone to my Twitter approach... lol! ๐ #otalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I have had experience where I felt transference from a service user and then found it extremely emotionally draining to work with them. Obviously I sought support from my supervisors which I think is extremely important if ever worried about any interventions #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre And then the hard part is even harder is if you are someone like me and constantly have to switch work places! #otalk |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu @robbrooks_uk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I do think this is good to consider! I wonder if we become somewhat more relaxed when not in uniform, which could then negatively affect the professional boundaries #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ And for students more so than practitioners- it takes time to find the right balance in terms of boundaries. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LynneGoodacre: Maybe itโs honouring the values implicit in professionalism that permeates everything rather than the boundaries themselโฆ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ukotac [REDACTED USER] Hi guys! Welcome along. Feel free to jump in, reply, chat & get involved. Be sure to include the #OTalk hashtag in all your tweets so people can see your input & interact with you. Enjoy! |
 | mai hussain @mai8793 [REDACTED USER] I try not to over share with colleagues and patients. I feel sometimes if you share something that your not to comfortable with, with others then it's hard to keep control of it #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @ot_benk Well- in my case, since I did my TEDx talk... I know I thought about it long and hard about disclosing myself in a public stage like that! After all, service users can easily look me up if they are YouTube savvy. #otalk |
| @LynneGoodacre @RachieRuu @robbrooks_uk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Donโt forget many many OTs do not wear uniforms in their practice. #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk @ot_benk Well- now my autism becomes public knowledge because of my TEDx talk. So at work, people who work with me at least regularly to some basis will know. I canโt do anything to change that. ๐ #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @mai8793: [REDACTED USER] I try not to over share with colleagues and patients. I feel sometimes if you share something that your not toโฆ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk https://t.co/k0veKd3szc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] In my case, since I am on YouTube... so the only decision I have is to not tell them directly about such. I would play it cool if they discover the fact. #otalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] #Otalk professional burn out is definitely a hot topic at the moment with stretched services |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Well- work related stuff... Venmo is common in my setting. So that is fine because we will have to borrow each other money back and forth anyway. Otherwise, I exercise with caution with work peers. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Half way through tonights #OTalk chat... some great discussion taking place, and its interesting to everyones stance. Professional boundaries are def a hot topic! https://t.co/vk5LQe5VNV |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden @OTalk_ #Otalk professional boundaries could also be based on your appearance depending on whether you wear a uniform or not |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] If you got invited to do a TEDx talk like me, itโs a great honor... but at the same time... it can be a trap if you are not careful thinking what you are saying on stage. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget those hashtags folks #OTalk https://t.co/13W67tTWbx |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I am the only person on any rehab team ever to wear a TEDx speaker name tag. I often joke to my fellow co-workers, โI am such a rebel not wearing name tag provided by the company.โ #otalk |
 | Venthan Mailoo @VenthanMailoo [REDACTED USER] @EmilyDeadman [REDACTED USER] When I worked for [REDACTED USER] my patients were my best friends, providers and bodyguards. The rest of the world seems to have artificial boundaries between humans. I preferred the former. @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk https://t.co/pBw5Lbv01r https://t.co/bXUr9e9nRr |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @KimBellOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk @ot_benk I chose not to wear scrubs. I instead wear a lab coat daily because I feel more comfortable wearing a lab coat with casual clothes. #otalk |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I believe this is really important, and even with the highest privacy settings it can be possible to be searchable. That's why I still feel a need to be professional due to even private posts being visible to some extent #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] In my setting... we have very loose definition of being punctual. Instead, the only rule we have regarding time is that there is an earliest log in time and latest log out time. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] And yet... some people are HORRIBLE rule breakers about when they should come in and when they should leave! #otalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden @robbrooks_uk #Otalk professional boundaries also apply when someone is asking for advice and not directly a service user for example family or friends |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Self care- this week I am such a BAD example. Have a 50+ hour work week this week. My mind feel like I am on Wednesday already! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/ejVu50E7yc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachieRuu: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I believe this is really important, and even with the highest privacy settings it can be possโฆ |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT That Is A Bit Odd... Also You Can Tell The Staff Who The Patients Are More Drawn To. #OTalk https://t.co/Mi8ozIUVFU |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] That is what I like to do on my social media space. I do put emojis if I put a golf related tweet. Of course often would be ๐คฏ๐ก๐ข๐คฌ category since I am rubbish at it. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] In my case, letting patients know where my home country is is a good thing. I think sometimes they want to know differences between US and HK. #otalk |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu [REDACTED USER] In hospital settings I think it is the infection control policies that dictate the need for uniform, which then makes it more formal. It's then down to our communication and interpersonal skills to make this more relaxed I guess? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk https://t.co/KOaWKNtaUD |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] When I use to use services at USC OT Faculty practice, the OT and I donโt engage on social media in general... even if we are connected in some way. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @RachieRuu [REDACTED USER] And a good thing to think about if you are invited on TEDx talk! How searchable you want to be by general public? #otalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] @EmilyDeadman [REDACTED USER] #Otalk you rely on your colleagues sharing some information can be important so they know where you are at in a frame of mind |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk I would say it depends on how you are identifying yourself, and what also the situation. If someone knows you are an OT then even without self identifiying, the profession can still be seen, and potenitally discreditied. #Otalk |
 | Orla @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] As student, I would bring any concerns up in supervision with my educator or ask for advice straight away #OTalk |
| @LynneGoodacre Thanks for checking this out [REDACTED USER] and sharing [REDACTED USER] #OTalk https://t.co/O9ObQAHNGj | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @ESpencerOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Haha- that is why I save all that on the weekends at the golf course. No judgment there to vent out everything even though my playing partners would hear them! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] As a student, I would bring up any concerns in supervision with my educator or ask for advice straight away #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/mkOOQkW76b |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Or here is another one- if you are a smoker at a healthcare setting! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/GX3WKd9lAm |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And were onto our last 10 minutes... #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Hard to do when every day matters in my setting. Have on let patients know that my work setting is a business! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @ESpencerOT [REDACTED USER] Yes- that is why I always tell my OT friends that I can be a completely different person at the golf course! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] Would you ever have some sort of written contract/list of rules with a service user that you could revisit and review if you felt boundaries were being pushed? #OTalk |
 | Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT Q4 kook at you code of ethics and HCPC guidelines and I would possible reflect on the situation that way I can look at what I did and how I would need to improve #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @RachieRuu [REDACTED USER] That is why I often tell my friends who want to go on TEDx talks- you know there are consequences behind the glory. So you got to think hard if you want to achieve the dream. #otalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT Steps Have To Be Taken To Reaffirm And Assert The Boundaries Again...Make It Clear That You Are Not Comfortable Sharing Anymore Info...Or Perhaps Pass The Patient On To Another Colleague. #OTalk https://t.co/7Zlpxwgkr6 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Debraj_OT: Q4 kook at you code of ethics and HCPC guidelines and I would possible reflect on the situation that way I can look at whatโฆ |

| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] #otalk depending on the context using paraphrasing can help a Service user understand that they have said something that may be inappropriate. If they donโt realise they will most likely just affirm what they said and you have to manage that situation as well as you can. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/aRJOWvtX5H |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] I wonder if this could potenitally make the session feel more like a school lesson, which could bring about its own negativity. A discussion of boundaries could be useful though #OTalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] #Otalk taking a second person on visits where you may be vulnerable is a good consideration |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] And I know there was a recent debate in US regarding our point of entry requirements for OT practitioners. It was where I learned the hard way that I must tread lightly now on issues like this... even though I love to express my personal opinion. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last one. Question 5 #OTalk https://t.co/9RPT6LN6aO |
| Orla @orlatheot @RachieRuu [REDACTED USER] True, maybe if it was something devised together at the start of the relationship. But yeah, it does remind me of when you had a new teacher #OTalk |
| @LynneGoodacre This is my reaction to the word boundary too. Iโm not sure they can be static as social norms change, cultures impact etc etc #OTalk. So they need to be questioned from time to time https://t.co/Fxza5ZHNYE | |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT Ahh My Supervisor Introduced Me To This Model At Work...It Is Very Interesting! #OTalk https://t.co/zYziIbpVuN |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In my setting, that can actually be loosened. If we know for reals that it is unlikely that the patient will come back... we are OK with such! Meanwhile, sometimes we are scavengers of patientโs goodies that they intend to give us. ๐ #otalk |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] #Otalk if clients are sharing an opinion that I do not agree with I listen and reply identifying that individuals have many different outlooks on the topic |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Well thats our official hour up. Please feel free to keep chatting & catch up. We will grab the transcript in a few days #OTalk https://t.co/UkQl0kiHBU |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget participating in an #OTalk can contribute towards your CPD. Head over to our website to download & complete the reflective log to get your certificate https://t.co/Dnl21vqZqu |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I can relate to that! #otalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT I Think This Would Really Be Dependent On The Setting One Is In...I Personally Wouldnโt Feel Comfortable Doing That Because Then At Times, We As Professionals Have To Ask Very Intrusive Questions Too. #OTalk https://t.co/ZZqF9tHRsT |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks to everyone for sharing all your thoughts & ideas. Its been a busy chat! Well done to our fab hosts/support [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] & [REDACTED USER], you did a great job #OTalk https://t.co/0GEBzXM1lR |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We shall be back again next week for our first #OTalk research chat of the year! Blog to follow shortly. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks again folks, this is [REDACTED USER] signing off. Tweet with you all soon. #OTalk https://t.co/rViwwEAL7y |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @robbrooks_uk [REDACTED USER] #Otalk honesty and openness is another hot topic |
| Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT @OTalk_ I think professional boundaries start with my core values as a therapist. Respecting colleagues, good communication to everyone. How I present myself as a professional and how I approach things as a professional.#OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Were looking forward to it as well Lucy! #OTalk https://t.co/fku7Q9hW6R |
| Rachel Payne @RachieRuu Really enjoyed my first time tweeting in #otalk What a great experience! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] And if you are a student... you should welcome any feedback from experienced qualified OT practitioners. Donโt have to take everything as truths, but understanding their advices is important. #otalk |
| Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT Sorry I was late..... Just working way through questions #OTalk Great questions xxx thank you |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] #otalk I definitely do not share my opinions on daily news topics but have identified with clients how it affects them |
| Kathryn Ramsden @KathrynRamsden [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @ljx_01 [REDACTED USER] #Otalk focusing on clients needs, views, or important occupations is part of the role but I try not to impart my opinions as my views and beliefs may be different |
