 | Orla @orlatheot Hello! Welcome to this week's #OTalk discussing the value of volunteering. Please introduce yourself and answer Q.1: Have you ever volunteered, or do you currently volunteer with an organisation? Tell us about it. Or tell us what barriers stop you from volunteering? https://t.co/M4PD1SiRMW |
 | Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019 RT @OTalk_: Starting in 10 minutes! This is @colourful_ot on support for this evening's chat, with the usual reminders to use the #OTalk hashtag and keep the conversation professional & respectful :) https://t.co/LrU3E3HhNk |
| Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019 RT @orlatheot: Almost time for this week's #OTalk all about volunteering, join in at 8pm tonight https://t.co/tkSs28jGzL #occupationaltherapy #otalk #ot365 #stufdentot https://t.co/X57maxq6o1 |
 | deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk Q1 I'm Deb, 2nd yr student at Glyndwr. We have mandatory volunteering as part of our course. I currently do some work with sailability & used to volunteer at Headway day centre. |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk I'd love to do more and after seeing the results from Compassionate Communities I almost volunteered but I also have 2 small kids and a dad with dementia so really I ought to start with them! |
| Orla @orlatheot @dmay_ot Thanks Deb, what does that involve? #otalk |

 | Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Hello Kellie here, OT student. I volunteer with the University's volunteer hub on an ad hoc basis. Time can be a barrier, so it's helpful that the hub offers various opportunities, for different purposes and varying commitment levels #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @SarahSharland19 You are still welcome, no shame allowed here :) #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @k_tedjo Cool, what do you get up to there? #OTalk |

| Orla @orlatheot @DebbiiHarrison @UEA_Health @thebastionbaton @SurfAction Thanks Deborah #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Q2. Thanks to everyone joining the discussion tonight! What do you enjoy about volunteering? Does it benefit you? #OTalk https://t.co/DoGVBOBdky |
| Orla @orlatheot @markstudentOT Sounds very interesting #otalk looking forward to hearing more as the discussion continues |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello peeps! #otalk |
 | Stephanie Wetherbee @smw1009 I volunteered at New England @NEDisabledSport. I was a snowboard instructor for people with a variety of different disabilities. I was able to learn about monoskis, biskis, and tethering. Volunteering here was so valuable because I brought my passion into others' lives. #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @megrfowler Welcome to #otalk! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot I think I should consider my TEDx project as a community volunteer project. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_Francesca Wow, you've done so much #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot And for me as a curator of that TEDx event- I have to put in a good bit of time and effort to it because I know putting together an event is not easy. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: #otalk Q1 I'm Deb, 2nd yr student at Glyndwr. We have mandatory volunteering as part of our course. I currently do some work with sailability & used to volunteer at Headway day centre. |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_Ciara Amazing, honoured to be your first #OTalk Ciara :) |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot It's helped me relate to some of my placement settings. Volunteering has also enabled me to contribute and understand some of the issues faced in our local community #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk I really enjoy all the volunteering I've done (and over the years I've done loads). I like getting to spend time with people, making them laugh, engaging with them, and introducing them to new things - morris dancing, needle felting, kayaking, computers...) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot And of course- I do serve in a couple roles in AOTA. A big barrier for me as a clinician is that I don’t have freedom to visit clinics. I need to use my PTO to do conferences and school visits. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Plus being able to share meaningful experiences with people #Otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @EmilyJ_OT @CumbriaUni Love it, arts in health is a big passion of mine too #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot For the OT one, I feel it is great opportunity to understand how AOTA works. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @k_tedjo: @orlatheot It's helped me relate to some of my placement settings. Volunteering has also enabled me to contribute and understand some of the issues faced in our local community #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot For my TEDx one, I really want to give our community a consistent platform to share our voice. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RobTheOT: |
| Orla @orlatheot So true, the people you meet volunteering are the best #otalk https://t.co/9fGXZQJQpN |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Ciara: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Time has come up in several of the responses to Q1 as a significant barrier to volunteering (esp. for students) - having the option of more short-term commitments is one good way to address it #OTalk https://t.co/yImYLcEpYd |
| Orla @orlatheot Q3. Next question! What occupational therapy skills have you used in a volunteer role? Tell us about how you used them. What do occupational therapists bring that others do not? #OTalk https://t.co/xst3oJWcUX |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Ciara @orlatheot Speaking of which, China is a recent @thewfot member! #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @HandyOTJO @orlatheot @OTalk_ Juggling work and life, plus time for the greater good. Can imagine it must be tougher while working! #OTalk |

| Orla @orlatheot A very humble response :) spending time with people is important in a culture where loneliness is becoming a big issue #OTalk https://t.co/OmaUKokMRF |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @RobTheOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A beautifully succinct summary of why so many people volunteer! 😁 #OTalk https://t.co/teM7Qa4SZ0 |
| Orla @orlatheot @BillWongOT @OT_Ciara @thewfot Woooo! Great news #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RobTheOT: |

| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @OT_Francesca @orlatheot Amazing how just by being there, we can sometimes put a smile on someone's face! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @orlatheot: Q3. Next question! What occupational therapy skills have you used in a volunteer role? Tell us about how you used them. What do occupational therapists bring that others do not? #OTalk https://t.co/xst3oJWcUX |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot If it is AOTA, I think it will just be teamwork and leadership skills. I enjoy collaborating with fellow leaders. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot If it’s TEDx, essentially it feels like I am doing my clinical doctorate project again. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Our understanding of occupational injustices; using therapeutic communication skills - just by listening and even use of silence; engaging someone in a valued occupation #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @dmay_ot: #otalk I really enjoy all the volunteering I've done (and over the years I've done loads). I like getting to spend time with people, making them laugh, engaging with them, and introducing them to new things - morris dancing, needle felting, kayaking, computers...) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RobTheOT @OT_Ciara @orlatheot @thewfot I heard it from Dr. Adlen Chan, who plays a major part in @USCChanOSOT China initiative last week at #aota18 #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot 3. I think OTs are really good at encouraging people to go just sightly out of their comfort zone, to grow and develop. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @dmay_ot: 3. I think OTs are really good at encouraging people to go just sightly out of their comfort zone, to grow and develop. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @k_tedjo The use of silence, very interesting. what's that? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: 3. I think OTs are really good at encouraging people to go just sightly out of their comfort zone, to grow and develop. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_Ciara: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot I agree. The experience that is concurrent with my role in the Representative Assembly in AOTA was key to give me the courage to try. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @RobTheOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RobTheOT Good point! From my own experience I think we have a lot of free time as students but often less predictable schedules than someone working full-time (and it's harder to commit to anything long-term if you're going to be moving somewhere else for a placement!) #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Q4. Time for a controversial question I think. Do you think it is useful to volunteer abroad or is it better to volunteer locally where you are ‘culturally relevant’? #OTalk https://t.co/hU8WOzKS7G |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RobTheOT: |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @dmay_ot: 3. I think OTs are really good at encouraging people to go just sightly out of their comfort zone, to grow and develop. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot I facilitated for a week on @IamAnOT17. I consider that as an abroad project. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot While volunteering at a care home, I remembered having some communication difficulty with one of the residents who had a stroke. During the session we spoke very little, but enjoyed the company and working together on our arts and craft project #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: #otalk I'd love to do more and after seeing the results from Compassionate Communities I almost volunteered but I also have 2 small kids and a dad with dementia so really I ought to start with them! |

| Orla @orlatheot I know, hopefully we can make each other aware of the skills we are already developping :) #otalk https://t.co/KVqoWmNJ6L |

| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Other times, I remember chatting with service users, and let them share their narratives. It brings a sparkle in their eyes, when they can just share that experience w someone #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTStudentDianne @colourful_ot @orlatheot And sometimes new one emerge too! To run about 75-80% of the whole TEDx event is a challenge! #otalk |
 | Mission Motorsport @Missionmotorspt RT @HelenArnfieldOT: |
| Orla @orlatheot @MillennialOT @k_tedjo That's what people need in some cases #otalk someone to sit with them and be there |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @MillennialOT @orlatheot Yes that's right! Just being there in the present with the person #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @k_tedjo: @orlatheot While volunteering at a care home, I remembered having some communication difficulty with one of the residents who had a stroke. During the session we spoke very little, but enjoyed the company and working together on our arts and craft project #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @markstudentOT And sometimes is also motivation too. I know a good bit of LA based OT practitioners would volunteer to serve as clinical instructors at the Ghana externship @USCChanOSOT organizes every year. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot You're a natural OT so ;) #otalk https://t.co/OPvGJkdDJc |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @HelenArnfieldOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EmilyJ_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RobTheOT: |
| Orla @orlatheot @HelenArnfieldOT Yeah, it's not possible for everyone #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Yeah, both have their strengths #otalk https://t.co/ngFviIavxh |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot 4. I've never volunteered abroad. I imagine it would be hugely rewarding and enriching and I'd love to do it but I feel I can hit the ground running fasterwhere I'm more familiar and still learn a lot from the people I'm with. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @EmilyJ_OT What skills have you seen recently? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @dmay_ot: 4. I've never volunteered abroad. I imagine it would be hugely rewarding and enriching and I'd love to do it but I feel I can hit the ground running fasterwhere I'm more familiar and still learn a lot from the people I'm with. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @RobTheOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @dmay_ot And if I volunteer abroad, I think the OT world will think I disappear... lol! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @dmay_ot: 4. I've never volunteered abroad. I imagine it would be hugely rewarding and enriching and I'd love to do it but I feel I can hit the ground running fasterwhere I'm more familiar and still learn a lot from the people I'm with. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RobTheOT: |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_Francesca Yes, it's essential to ask questions of the project you are going to and getting an idea that they benefit the community and don't do more harm than good #Otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_Francesca: |
| Orla @orlatheot Q5. Do you record your volunteer experience as CPD evidence? If so, how? #OTalk https://t.co/9flsCFKciA |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot One thing I'm worried about while volunteering abroad is that it can be for a short period of time, what happens after the team has left? It's important to think about the sustainability and impact you've left in the community abroad #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Yes, and then in turn, inspires us to keep studying and working hard #otalk https://t.co/xN5Y0QMVEb |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @dmay_ot I've heard of people who are very passionate about volunteering in another country and every year they take time to get back, so they can "hit the ground running" quicker every time they are there #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DebbiiHarrison @dmay_ot I actually do... especially I recently reviewed abstracts for #caot2018. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RobTheOT @OT_Ciara @orlatheot @thewfot @USCChanOSOT He knows more than I do. So ask him. #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @BillWongOT @dmay_ot You will have to tweet us from whichever part of the world you are in and share your experiences w us there! #otalk #OT365 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot I put it on my CV. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_Ciara: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EmilyJ_OT: |
| Orla @orlatheot When I am volunteering for a short period, I look to support the long-term staff rather than start a new project only I could sustain. That way the staff are left encouraged #OTalk https://t.co/7Q63hkBpx3 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Especially important when working with certain vulnerable groups, e.g. children without parents or separated from parents who may already be dealing with stress of not having long-term stable relationships with adults #OTalk https://t.co/4yx7IeR2Kf |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_Ciara: |
| Orla @orlatheot @Symbolic_Life Great idea, thanks #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @EmilyJ_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ That is especially a good consideration when considering such placements in 3rd world countries. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot This is key #otalk https://t.co/9ZG2XzkYGm |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Francesca: |
 | Alondra Ammon @AlondraLaOT @MillennialOT @orlatheot I think as long as when volunteering abroad, we should be culturally sensitive to the available resources of that region/country. I think it can be easy for some to come into a situation and start applying approaches that work, but it may not be appropriate for that area. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Francesca @RobTheOT @orlatheot Or in some cases will be a short placement assignment. #otalk |

| Orla @orlatheot Q6. Can you identity new roles for occupational therapists in the organisations that you have or still volunteer with? #OTalk https://t.co/q6zTEtsesp |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AlondraLaOT @MillennialOT @orlatheot Made me think about my upcoming keynote address in India. Some of what I will share may not be applicable to that country. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot I think me being a TEDx talk curator is a revolutionary one. Now I am showing the OT world that this task can be done! #otalk |

| Orla @orlatheot SWOT analysis is a great shout #otalk https://t.co/scTqzAE28v |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EmilyJ_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmilyJ_OT @orlatheot And SWOT is a great tool when we consider volunteer opportunities within OT. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @EmilyJ_OT Is the SWOT about your personal development or your volunteer role or something else? #otalk |

 | Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @orlatheot @OTalk_ #otalk. I volunteer regularly at parkrun, it is not really an employment role, but in terms of health promotion, social prescribing, achievable goals, human interaction it is all good....incredibly diverse, volunteer enabled |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
 | Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot A2 I have volunteered abroad twice now and both times I have learn a lot about myself, occupational therapy and also about the cultures I am spending time in. Definitely a worthwhile experience (under the right circumstances) #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot It would be an OT's dream #otalk https://t.co/pNskx75Fvs |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Jacqusie @orlatheot Similar to those within OT too. We must wisely choose the opportunities we want to pursue. #otalk |

| Orla @orlatheot @SetG75 Wow, how did you record it? In the training you received? #otalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Definitely! As OTs our understanding of how areas relating to the individual, context, and purposeful occupations can make a powerful impact. I'm happy to see the Uni developing the role of OTs in role emerging placements within charities #OTalk #ValueOfOT |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot I think you can contribute a lot to another culture simply in terms of introducing them to our ways of thinking and working, similiarly, we get the same benefits and can find new ways to improve our own practice #OTalk |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @dmay_ot you would be surprised at how easily you can 'hit the ground running' even when there are barriers such as language and culture to overcome, its definitely a challenge but it's doable #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @SetG75: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @carrie_sant @orlatheot If I were to volunteer in Hong Kong today... it will be more of rethinking how much what I learned in school will truly apply to that country. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Q7. Finally, sharing is caring! Please share any opportunities where organisations are looking for volunteers. Do you know any organisations that provide funding for volunteer projects? Or even any useful literature on the topic of volunteering? #OTalk https://t.co/c9y0spYMV3 |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @AlondraLaOT @MillennialOT @orlatheot Agreed! When I was suggesting interventions that might be effective I was sure to do this in line with the skills of the staff and the resources available #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @dmay_ot @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ I must read the article #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Very close to the end of tonight's #OTalk - the hour has flown by as usual! Wonderful to see the variety of volunteer roles that occupational therapists and students are involved in. 😀 |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot When taking over as a volunteer group leader, before I even started I asked the group what activities they would like to do. They loved it and gave me a long list! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And of course... how can we forget that being a facilitator for #otalk or being a 4OT group admin can also be a global volunteer project for us? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RobTheOT: |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot I was also able to take activities that the group didn't think they would be able to do or participate in and adapt them to their needs #OTalk |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @BillWongOT @orlatheot Important for these OT practitioners in charities to share their experiences with undergrads, on potential career pathway and role of OTs in this sector #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT A good recent conversation amongst the 4OT groups recently was about AOTA elections. It was interesting to see US based non US based OT discuss this topic. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @k_tedjo: @BillWongOT @orlatheot Important for these OT practitioners in charities to share their experiences with undergrads, on potential career pathway and role of OTs in this sector #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @carrie_sant: @orlatheot I was also able to take activities that the group didn't think they would be able to do or participate in and adapt them to their needs #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @k_tedjo @orlatheot Yes- it is almost like for these OT practitioners, their advocacy skills have to be extra strong. #otalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot https://t.co/8TA6NBIXuu has thousands of opportunities. I often look at it trying to figure out how to get 36 hours in a day or wondering if I REALLY need a job when I qualify... #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Loved hearing everyone's thoughts. Looking forward to sharing my own experience of volunteering abroad at #RCOT2018. I'll be presenting on the 11th June in the Student Papers, Session 12, at 15:50. Come and say hi! #OTalk #studentot #occupationaltherapy https://t.co/P94unuWRxu |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_Francesca: |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Forgot to add that another area i volunteered with was in brain injury, with my local Headway. Many fun and different activities service users were introduced to, and they need volunteers just to join them! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Next week is #OTalk Research with Dr Suzanne Martin @drsuzanneMartin chatting about Researching with industry partners. Blog to follow tomorrow. |

| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot Within the field of sight loss there is so much scope for occupational therapy I wouldnt even know where to begin #OTalk |

| Orla @orlatheot That's it! Wow, that hour went quick! Thank you to everyone who took part and showing your support. I'd recommend hosting an #OTalk to all the students out there. Apply here: https://t.co/z8StRH67Ud #studentOT https://t.co/OBpAN4Y2zC |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @k_tedjo @orlatheot Many organisations are now accused of 'voluntourism' and the damaging effects this have on the communities who see a constant carousel of volunteers coming through #OTalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot I wrote a report on my longer volunteering experience, including the application process, experiences and reflections on learning. It was rather long by the end but a brilliant way to document and analyse my learning #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @RobTheOT Thanks Rob! #otalk |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot Good luck! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Signing out #OTalk! Until the 22nd of May when we will be discussing my dissertation topic 'the role of occupational therapy in compulsive hoarding.' #studentot #hoardingdisorder #compulsivehoarding #occupationaltherapy https://t.co/Pr2mQpDUHh |
| Orla @orlatheot Thanks Simon #otalk https://t.co/qQY1XEZQef |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks @orlatheot for your insightful questions, and thanks everyone for answering! Next week's #OTalk is on research - keep an eye out tomorrow for our link to the blog post to find out more. :) |
| Orla @orlatheot Thanks Kellie, yes, let's meet up and discuss more #otalk https://t.co/B3tt8Yo6DE |
| Orla @orlatheot Thanks to @colourful_ot for supporting the discussion :) #otalk https://t.co/r0mdcRaIIS |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ If you've got any ideas in mind for an #OTalk - an occupational therapy or OT-adjacent subject that you enjoy talking about or that you'd love to hear people's views on - please get in touch! https://t.co/Kf8nFtq4Zi |
| Kellie Tedjo @k_tedjo @orlatheot Looking forward to! Thank you for the the #OTalk tonight, very insightful and inspiring for us #studentot ! |
| Orla @orlatheot Thanks SPOT, I'd recommend it to all students. Pick a topic you are passionate about and go for it! #otalk https://t.co/OKKkTzBHGx |
| Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant @orlatheot @OTalk_ I think befriending is an undervalued volunteer role. I come across so many people who are isolated due to their disabilities and would benefit from hugely from someone who can offer them companionship (and a little bit of OT thrown in for free!) #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Yes, those were a lovely touch! Really made the questions stand out when scrolling through all the Tweets in the tag. ☺️ #OTalk https://t.co/9s5WeOpgUS |
