Good evening all and welcome to tonight's #OTalk Research. It's @hooper_ek on the @OTalk_ account this evening and we are delighted to welcome @DrGillianWard from @theRCOT who is leading tonight's chat. Who else is joining us / lurking? Do say Hi!
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Hello everyone, I’m looking forward to tonight’s discussion @hooper_ek @DrGillianWard @theRCOT #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@OTalk_ @hooper_ek @DrGillianWard @theRCOT I’m here lurking tonight #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
We are looking forward to this chat .... we'll kick off with the first question from @DrGillianWard in a couple of minutes when folks have settled in and said hi :-) #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Hi @Amie_OT Do feel free to post as well as lurk! #OTalk

Here we are with Q1 from @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I like the sound of this @DanWaldronOT @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good question @SLawsonOT - what do you think would be useful? #OTalk @DrGillianWard
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I think we need to identify a range of people in different roles within the profession to champion research. I guess one risk is that we continue to rely on those that are research 'active' to generate the evidence and translate the evidence into practice @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre
I would love to see a network for all levels - for me this is about building a community of practice which is open to all #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
So a community for all levels then #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
I second this, I would love to know more about research, I want to get more involved in research but have absolutely no idea where to start, a network that advised and helped others get more involved into research would be fantastic #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
We definitely seem to be heading towards a consensus that it should be accessible to all-comers #OTalk @DrGillianWard
#OTalk @OTalk_
Any thoughts on how we can make it accessible to all? #OTalk @DrGillianWard
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Perhaps we need to think of it less as 'doing' research and more about the 'being' aspects of research as we are all research consumers. The variation of course occurs in how we engage with research (evidence) @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@OTalk_ @DrGillianWard Totally, ideally it would also have opportunities for a ‘buddy system’ or advice service where someone like me with 101 questions could have a number of named people to talk to. I guess like a research interest directory #otalk

Q2 from @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I'm not sure that there is a simple answer here but as occupational therapists we manage to work across agencies and traditional boundaries in practice so perhaps we need to apply some of the learning to the OTRN @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre
People joining will be influenced by the quality of what the network provides and it's profile across the profession #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Hi @YvonnOT Glad you've joined us tonight. Don't forget to add #OTalk to your tweets so that everyone can see them 😀
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
You are already doing this @Amie_OT by participating in this discussion @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good ideas from @natlouj #OTalk @DrGillianWard
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DrGillianWard @YvonnOT @OTalk_ Promoting the network at universities would be a great opportunity but equally it would be great to get the newly qualified occupational therapists too, as research it’s not something I would have considered straight away in my first to role but now I’m settled in the role #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@preston_jenny @DrGillianWard True, and hopefully making a few more connections while I am here #OTalk

@natlouj @SetG75 @DrGillianWard @theRCOT Love it, visual profiles really help #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Music to my ears @DanWaldronOT as past chair of the RCOTSS-NP. Specialist Sections have a huge role to play @janechorne @RCOT_Louise @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is an important point - how would people know about it and how could we encourage participation? Any thoughts? #OTalk @DrGillianWard
Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre
Visual profiles yes but also think webinars, podcasts, social media all at a national level that could be accessed when and where is right for you #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
It all comes back to impact and how we demonstrate effectiveness, efficiency, client safety. We need to speak employers' language @DanWaldronOT @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Hi @HelenBrown09 Glad you could join us. We are considering what the advantages of an RCOT research network would be & how people could be encouraged to join #OTalk
Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7
@DrGillianWard @theRCOT #OTalk as well as involving those OTs already practicing it would be a great resource to introduce students to and to extend the critical thinking skills that they bring to practice
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @LynneGoodacre: Visual profiles yes but also think webinars, podcasts, social media all at a national level that could be accessed when and where is right for you #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Maybe this is where a link into specialist sections could be advantageous? Thoughts? @natlouj @DrGillianWard #OTalk

Q3 here from @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DrGillianWard @theRCOT Having opportunities to share research and ideas, collaborative working, time to talk and share with each other both by experience and subject of interest #otalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DanWaldronOT @OTalk_ @DrGillianWard It would really help those of us wanting to get more stuck in find the right people to talk to or ask questions without feeling like a lost little fish in a big pond #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Hi @OTMcCracken Glad you could join us. We're just onto Q3 now: Many people join networks, but how can we encourage active contribution and participation? #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@HelenBrown09 @DrGillianWard @theRCOT I’ve presented to colleagues and service users and now making the next step to present to employers and it’s hard to put myself across effectively #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Maybe it could also be a place to 'incubate' research questions? @DanWaldronOT @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Perhaps there are aspects of building research capacity, along with potential sites for research recruitment might be of interest 🤔 @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @natlouj:
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@OTalk_ @DanWaldronOT @DrGillianWard Having a list of gaps in current research and research priorities within the profession would be useful #otalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DrGillianWard @OTalk_ @DanWaldronOT Yes!!!!!! #OTalk
Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7
@OTalk_ @OTMcCracken #OTalk raise profile by using new and traditional media, lots of people don’t tweet, so it’s about introducing the concept of twitter as a learning, sharing, +be space.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Good point @HelenBrown09 - any ideas on how to encourage participation from a range of OTs? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sounds like you've got some creative engagement ideas brewing @natlouj 👍#OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DrGillianWard @OTalk_ @DanWaldronOT @theRCOT Thank you, I’ll take a look now #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Very true @DanWaldronOT and I'm amused by your concept of Celebrity OTs😂😂. I wonder if the "OT Celebrities" just like all celebrities are good at maximising networks and opportunities and these are skills that could be shared across the network @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @DrGillianWard:
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DrGillianWard @theRCOT Accessibility, is it easy to navigate and use, is it behind a user wall, is it easy to find, how is it structured / signposting on the website #otalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
Any other thoughts on what should we consider when designing the RCOT research network? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I'm loving the energy and sense of fun that we're having during this evening's chat. Just 10 minutes to go, so post any other thoughts / suggestions / ideas to @DrGillianWard about the RCOT research network now :-) #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Any thoughts on how this network might work best? What has worked for you in the past? What has helped you to develop connections? #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Perhaps this is something that @theRCOT could review as part of the OTRN and how members access relevant literature @DrGillianWard #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@DrGillianWard @YvonnOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT Face to face is great too :) #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sometimes putting a face to a name and connecting in person is worth its weight in gold. #OTalk Have you found any useful ways of doing this virtually @YvonnOT?
#OTalk @OTalk_
A tangible and practical suggestion from @preston_jenny here #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Income generation, status, research credibility, in my own experience as a clinical academic @DrGillianWard #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Last chance to have your say during this evening's chat #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@HelenBrown09 @caralawrence @SLawsonOT @OTMcCracken @natlouj @OTalk_ @DrGillianWard I’ve always checked on journals available through the rcot membership, technically the hospital I work in has a library but being off site I’ve not even seen it in the 9 months I’ve been there #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
If people have ideas following this evening's chat how could they get them to you @DrGillianWard ? #OTalk
Lizzie Rowen @LizzieR_OT
@OTalk_ @DrGillianWard New to research via clinical academic route let’s it feel relevant supported by @NIHRcommunity links to bigger picture #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Thank you for clarifying @DrGillianWard I thought that was the case but didn't want to embarrass myself 😡 #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@LizzieR_OT @OTalk_ @DrGillianWard @NIHRcommunity I’ve been looking at a clinical academic career, they look like a good route into research #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thanks @DrGillianWard ... do keep the suggestions coming into Gill and @theRCOT as they progress this idea. From the energy and suggestions this evening it sounds like people would welcome the development of an RCOT research network 👍#OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Another speedy #OTalk. Plenty to digest and take forwards. Thank you all for your contributions and to @DrGillianWard for leading this evening's chat.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
They are @Amie_OT I love my clinical academic career, it gives me the best of all opportunities for my interests @DrGillianWard #OTalk
