| #OTalk @OTalk_ @pd2ot Your very welcome Sarah #otalk |

| Keir Harding @Keirwales @pd2ot Hello. Loved your blog earlier. Please share it again ☺ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk https://t.co/issYkbt5vc |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome Jenny #otalk https://t.co/qEE6yQICYD |
| Clarissa #BlackLivesMatter @GeekyOT @Keirwales agree. @pd2ot's blog shaped much of my thinking and practice as a newly qualified OT #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ The topic is a contentious subject. Language is so important #otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @Kirstie_OT Here here! #Otalk |
 | Hayley Samantha AHP Lead @hsbannister Hello all #Otalk |

| Kirstie @Kirstie_OT RT @OTalk_: As always discussion/debate is good but please be mindful of professionalsim, politeness/respect & understanding we may all hav… |
 | Lauren @Lauren_OT @Keirwales I think there’s a lack of specialist services/ teams to support people with a diagnosis of personality disorder at all, which in turn potentially reduces opportunities for research to be done and for us to find the evidence #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget the hashtag @RRule3 #otalk https://t.co/FA27h4mp3M |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @Keirwales Encourage OTs working in this area to think about carrying out research, provide an environment that supports them carrying out research e.g. safeguarding time to carry out research, and if funding is needed, support them with finding funding... my guess #otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell Identify the research priorities for our profession but in collaboration with people with lived experience #otalk https://t.co/f3ZDYi6L8H |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales How do othwr disciplines build evidence? Is it purely through MDT interaction? #otalk https://t.co/E6adAFhJnl |
| Lindsay Rook @LindsayOTExe @Keirwales I think we need to identify research priorities in relation to Occupational Therapy and working with people who’re recovering from trauma. #OTalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @RebeccaCrouch @Keirwales Increasing the number who take formal research training, like at MRes #otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales Any thoughts? Looking at the SUs out there too. #otalk https://t.co/voIs3n75he |
| Dr Sarah Mercer @pd2ot @Keirwales #OTalk it definitely needs a bigger evidence-base. Very low on research priorities though so very hard to get funding, even for small scale. |
 | Deborah Harrison 💙💚 @DebbiiHarrison @OTalk_ @Keirwales My first tweet & I forgot the #OTalk! I’ll just sit here quietly on the naughty step & drink tea ☕️😉 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @MOHOspark @Keirwales Always welcome Sue #otalk |
| Becky the OT @BeckyFrench_OT #otalk for me networking and discussing shared practice with other colleagues. |
 | Lucy Howell @howell_lucy Hi, just joining #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @POPPED_Project Welcome Cat - #otalk |

 | Cat Taylor @CATdoingCAT @OTalk_ Alan Hiron's talk of 'Attachment informed OT' really resonated with me. Always seek to work relationally and to develop an understanding of how life experiences have impacted #Otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales Ah but even in those specialist services there's not a massive appetite for OTs. How can we change that? #Otalk https://t.co/xhicrkLAec |

 | Emma Hall @Emm_OT @OTalk_ #OTalk I agree with Emily K_OT.. Sharing good practice, beginning to look at what we do with evidence in mind. |
 | Louise Crisp 💫 @louisecrisp5 @OTalk_ 🙋🏼♀️hey #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @POPPED_Project You're at the forefront of this Caty. Any advice for people in how to pursue that? #Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @pd2ot @Keirwales Indeed - its not 'sexy' at the moment, or 'easy' to study #otalk |
 | Rachel OT @_rachelOT @Lauren_OT @Keirwales I agree! I’m still at uni and this was an area that I was interested in shadowing for my exploration into practice, however services were few & far between.. especially in the South West. Also found it v difficult to find correct support for an individual who I work with.. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @pd2ot: @Keirwales #OTalk it definitely needs a bigger evidence-base. Very low on research priorities though so very hard to get funding… |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @OTLiaisonPsych @Keirwales this is @Tilly_OT passion #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Ha ha - indeed #Otalk https://t.co/JevUcehlVQ |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @Keirwales Encourage specialists in this area to publish books/guidelines to share knowledge with others. I've seen great RCOT resources for physical health, not seen so many for mental health. When I had a placement in forensics, there was only 1 OT book available in our library #Otalk |
| Lindsay Rook @LindsayOTExe @Lauren_OT @Keirwales We have a specialist service in my area but it is accessed by few compared with general adult mental health services. I would argue that more could be done for people sooner, beginning in primary care. There are pros and cons of specialist services. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @becky_1983: #otalk for me networking and discussing shared practice with other colleagues. |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @EmilyK_OT @OTalk_ What should our outcome measures be in this area? What matters most? (Also what saves money) #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @howell_lucy Welcome Lucy here to help if you get lost - #otalk just remember the hashtag in all your tweets and you’ll be ok! |

| Keir Harding @Keirwales @Emm_OT @OTalk_ Any tips on how best to share good practice? #Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @EmilyK_OT @OTalk_ I identified some problems with commonly used OMs in my research/practice too. Need to understand better what the outcome we're aiming for is, and what the factors relevant to an occupational therapist are that influence that outcome #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Cat_Ripley: @OTalk_ Alan Hiron's talk of 'Attachment informed OT' really resonated with me. Always seek to work relationally and to d… |
| Hayley Samantha AHP Lead @hsbannister #otalk I think we need to prioritise what is needed and really think about how our practice is different - what are we trying to achieve? What is the desired outcome? What is different about the delivery of OT - Is it different? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Keirwales: Ah but even in those specialist services there's not a massive appetite for OTs. How can we change that? #Otalk https://t.… |
| Dr Sarah Mercer @pd2ot @POPPED_Project @Keirwales So true. I was lucky at undergrad to get ethics approval for a small study. Now that I've moved uni I realise just how lucky. A lot of panels struggle to give approval for the needed studies. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @LouiseCrisp5 Hi Louise #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @organiclemon @Keirwales Your most welcome #Otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @EmilyK_OT I suppose I'm thinking that Nice guidelines don't mention us. What would we need to do to change that? #Otalk |
 | Tilly Greenwell @Tilly_OT Couldn't agree more! #OTalk https://t.co/1pj0dOwU9K |
| Emma Hall @Emm_OT @OTalk_ #OTalk are we replying on this thread or @Keirwales ? |

| Dr Sarah Mercer @pd2ot #OTalk this is the post I mentioned this morning as it came up yesterday: https://t.co/tF6ORpmgY9 Lots of other (ancient) musings on pd and Occupational therapy in general on https://t.co/LX8iyWO1Vf |
| Lauren @Lauren_OT @RRule3 @Keirwales I’ve also found it very difficult to refer on and get one of my patients the support that is quite clearly needed. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Just make sure you use the # @Emm_OT and people will see what your saying #Otalk https://t.co/ZeYypxX0Pu |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @Keirwales Organisations like the @LindAlliance identify research priorities in collaboration with people with lived experience - maybe they would think about this as a future project? #otalk |
| Becky the OT @BeckyFrench_OT #otalk promoting practice. Setting up discussion with funders, CCG's. Many funders have been impressed and want to know if you talk them through what you do. |
| Emma Hall @Emm_OT @Keirwales @OTalk_ #OTalk consider networking with others,peer support, focus groups? |

| Keir Harding @Keirwales @OTLiaisonPsych @Lauren_OT And yet that's what NICE tells us to do. My experience is that in generic services there isn't a specialist service because the difficulties of this group don't get thought about #otalk |

| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @Keirwales It can be done at lots of levels, from informing an individual project by liaising with people you work with, up to a whole research project in itself #otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales RT @Tilly_OT: Couldn't agree more! #OTalk https://t.co/1pj0dOwU9K |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RRule3 Your not the frist to forget and you will not be the last #Otalk |
 | Sadie Blue @SadieBlueOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ I would like to see more evidence or interventions happening with the young adults 15-25. Since a diagnosis is unlikely under the age of 25 (in my area at least) I wanna know what we can be doing early intervention wise. #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @Emm_OT @OTalk_ Use the hashtag and ill see it. Use it even if replying to me then everyone gets to see #Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @Keirwales .@theRCOT are refreshing their research strategy, led by @JoWatson22 - If it includes reviewing priorities, occupational therapists could indicate where they think the gaps are in this area. #otalk |
 | Ed Sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @RRule3 @Keirwales @Lauren_OT #otalk I work in neuro out-patients - several patients with a diagnosis of personality disorder when I look through the records but not on referral. I'm sure I have worked with many more patients and colleagues than I ever realised |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell #otalk |

| Lauren @Lauren_OT @OTLiaisonPsych @Keirwales I do agree, I think that generally services need to be improved massively across the board to be able to support the needs of people with this diagnosis. In my experience it always seems to be the patients with a primary diagnosis of PD who seem to slip through the net #OTalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales RT @POPPED_Project: @Keirwales It can be done at lots of levels, from informing an individual project by liaising with people you work with… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Yes don’t forget the hashtag - otherwise you end up on the naughty step! #otalk. https://t.co/3mYE7RqV16 |
 | Katie Crowfoot @katie_crowfoot @POPPED_Project @OTalk_ @RebeccaCrouch @Keirwales #Otalk maybe an idea is trying to breakdown some of 'fear barriers' of research maybe a day/conference/workshop to demonstrate the steps practice etc could be specific to diagnosis to encourage more OTs to take the step into research |
| Lindsay Rook @LindsayOTExe @POPPED_Project @RebeccaCrouch @Keirwales Great opportunities but the application process is a little intimidating. Our trust has created the chance for interested clinicians to learn more about research and to promote opportunities to get involved in research. I’m going to give that a go! #OTalk |

| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @OTLiaisonPsych @RebeccaCrouch @Keirwales It's hard work, but it pays off to put in the preparation when it comes to the doing bit #otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales Cardiff uni was very supportive of my attempts at research. @kerryhood led a team which aimed to support clinicians to build evidence. #otalk sure there's something similar in England. https://t.co/HtSsPRRUMY |
 | Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @SadieBlueOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ If it's likely to be undiagnosed at this time how can early interventions work? What service would the individual fall into? Agree early intervention is key but until there's a diagnosis it's difficult to know how to do this #OTalk |

| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @OTLiaisonPsych @POPPED_Project @Keirwales Good luck Lindsay! I wish you every success. (Post application, could you maybe provide some feedback about the intimidating process, if you find it intimidating, chances are others do too) #OTalk |
| Sadie Blue @SadieBlueOT @Keirwales Perhaps! But as a lone OT working in a charity service, with young people who have no diagnosis and are rarely picked up unless in crisis.. I wouldn't know where to start! #help #otalk |
| Rachel OT @_rachelOT @Keirwales Perhaps introducing more discussion about this area at uni would be a good place to start. We are advocates and SU’s with this diagnosis are often the most stigmatised in society, yet still SO little is known. Could awareness = drive to create change (through research?) #otalk |
 | Louise Clark @louiseclark15 @NeurorehabSGUL @AvrilDrummond1 Would be really interesting to explore this. Maybe an #OTalk?? How and who decides? Using what rationale, evidence and experience? How much does how it’s communicated affect perception? and how does the perception of this differ between the pt and therapist? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk https://t.co/ublqMx8Lh7 |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @PeterMartin55 Great point - there are problems with some of our models because of their focus on explaining socially valued participation. But essential we have a number of well evidenced tools in our tool-box #otalk |

| Lauren @Lauren_OT @OccupationalFox @SadieBlueOT @Keirwales @OTalk_ I agree. Unsure how, and no experience within adolscent MH but feel that earlier intervention and maybe CAMHS should/ could be involved somehow in improving outcomes for patients, if this happened people might not even get a diagnosis... #OTalk |

| Lindsay Rook @LindsayOTExe @Lauren_OT @Keirwales The key is ensuring that there is an easy transition and good communication between services (primary care, CMHT, specialist services, acute hospitals etc). Unfortunately need can be identified and the appropriate service may be available but with long waiting lists #OTalk. |
| Kirstie @Kirstie_OT @emerging56 Dont forget to pop the #OTalk hashtag on your tweets so everyone can see & share in your contributions 👍🏼 |
| Peter Martin @PeterMartin55 @POPPED_Project #OTalk That’s great. Just need to make sure that audits audit the outcomes not the tools themselves. You can have the best hammer and screwdriver on the market but still end up with a wonky shelf! |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ I wasn't at the conference yesterday, were these the more traditional models we are taught at uni (Kawa, MOHO, CMOP) or were those discussed PD specific OT models? #otalk |
| Keir Harding @Keirwales @POPPED_Project @PeterMartin55 So are our models good enough? Some better than others? Do we need to integrate with those of other professions/therapies? #Otalk |
| Tilly Greenwell @Tilly_OT @organiclemon I'm currently covering 2 inpatient acute AMH wards, developing an audit and trying to write doctorate applications in my spare time! Think I'll have to pass on that! #OTalk |

| Sue Parkinson @MOHOspark @POPPED_Project Gotta reply! #OTalk MOHO is constantly evolving - it's about human occupation and not diagnosis-specific, but why wouldn't we want to talk with people about their values & goals, their roles & habits, their skills and the impact of the environment on everything? |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ No models have been specifically developed to explain occupational participation for ppl with a personality dis diagnosis.

| Sadie Blue @SadieBlueOT @OccupationalFox @Keirwales @OTalk_ More needs to be done. I agree a diagnosis is not always helpful, but waiting until these YP reach the age of 25 then giving a diagnosis (which allows them to access specialist services) seems a big flaw in the system when they've then spent years building unhealthy coping #otalk |

| Clarissa #BlackLivesMatter @GeekyOT @Keirwales @POPPED_Project I see where you're coming from but for me it's more like a map on an old PC game - map is darkened until you get closer, and more is revealed #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Ok that it that’s the hour over, what a thought-provoking and busy chat. Or insure the transcript gets added to the blog in the next couple of days. Can we please thank @Keirwales for hosting tonight #Otalk 👏🏽👏🏽 |

| Keir Harding @Keirwales #otalk The personality disorder consensus statement was published recently. Service users were clear they are not PDs or people with disordered personalities. Let's try to use 'people with a diagnosis of' or 'those who have lived through trauma' #otalk |
 | Katie Ann Siobhan @KatieAnnSiobhan @Keirwales #otalk talk to us how you would you want yourselve or a loved of yours be spoken to been compassionate and empathetic shouldn't be hard |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @LouiseJeffries4 @OT_april @Keirwales Definitely, MoCA needs to move to validating its constructs in 'modern' times - and send for peer review. Is anyone working on it do you know? #otalk |

| Sadie Blue @SadieBlueOT @Keirwales Avoiding accusations or why did you do this? I also hate the lazy "well that's your choice" answer. If I don't know what to say that would be helpful, acknowledging the hurt and pain/validation is the best place to start I feel #otalk |

| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @AbiEdwards7 Yes, I think @BeaconHouseTeam have fantastic resources - trauma/attachment is something I've read a fair bit about in my own time but I still feel it's a shame it's not featured more heavily in our curriculum #OTalk |
| Becky the OT @BeckyFrench_OT #OTalk thanks @Keirwales and @OTalk_ |
| Deborah Harrison 💙💚 @DebbiiHarrison Thank you @Keirwales & @OTalk_ for another brilliant #OTalk. I’m inspired to do more reading & reflections 💚 https://t.co/FpRV1bS34Q |

| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @pd2ot Is any occupation all bad or all good? Sometimes accepting the grey can be challenging for us and our service users #otalk |

| Becky the OT @BeckyFrench_OT #OTalk i hope there are more avenues like the conference yesterday to showcase the work people are doing! Definately something to explore even in the private sector! |

| Lindsay Rook @LindsayOTExe @Keirwales I don’t see it as my role to enforce change, but to support the people I work with to consider the possibility that things could be different. To be alongside them. To be hopeful when they’ve lost sight of hope. #OTalk |

| Dr Sarah Mercer @pd2ot @OccupationalFox @Keirwales @RebeccaCrouch I'd say it's quite individual - in general I'd say be open to discussing all elements of thoughts/feelings/behaviour/occupation but with clinical judgment about support for the person, and you (and assessment of your skill), which will depend on the setting. #OTalk |

| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @becky_1983 I agree, there are areas that i am exploring further based on my research findings and other theories can be helpful. Just knowing whether this eclectically informed approach is more or less effective. #otalk |
| Dr Sarah Mercer @pd2ot @OccupationalFox @Keirwales @RebeccaCrouch #Otalk the promotion of alternatives - again clinical judgment - is the person wanting that/ready for that etc. I think it's great you're thinking that way, and all will probably become clear at the time! |
