#OTalk @OTalk_
Ok so happy to see diving in early, multitasking, sharing supper menus etc. Welcome to the monthly #OTalk research with [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] let’s start by checking in who’s joining us tonight
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hi everyone, I'm here too! Funnily enough with galaxy counters and diet coke by my side #Otalk
Vbgdgftg @Els_OT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hello, looking forward to discussing research #OTalk
Elle Russell, MS, OTR/L @elleOT2019
I'm here! #OTalk https://t.co/wraWhgOzdz
@LynneGoodacre
I've got buffering issues on the OTalk site for a moment so .. don't forget to follow rules of prof conduct, be nice to each other and most of all don't forget to include #otalk
Faye Dunford @FayeDunford
@preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hi everyone, I'm here too! Ready to talk research at #OTalk
Nellie Dadge @DadgeNellie
Nellie Dadge, virgin twitterer here and following chat #OTalk
@LynneGoodacre
So great to see you all do you want to make a start [REDACTED USER] #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello peeps! #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Welcome so glad you can join us. If you need some help shout out #Otalk research https://t.co/lldXtbFw5w
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@BillWongOT Hello Bill how are you tonight? #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Lead investigator, research team member #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
OK everyone so here is Q 1. #OTalk https://t.co/X2jXTVBH0H
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Definitely! #OTalk https://t.co/0Kpl8Hihbb
#OTalk @OTalk_
We’ve all done it! Only just stopped my twitter buffering #OTalk https://t.co/feXJ7fA2KP
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
It is possible but I had to develop the job description myself to make it happen #OTalk https://t.co/tXVtbsUPxN
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Very few exceptions... but there are some who are non-PhD who come to mind. In US, Tim Wolf is a leader in research who has an OTD (clinical doctorate). #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] And I think clinical aspect helps you keep in touch with what needs to be researched. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] For me will be an adjunct skill. Eventually I will want to play a prominent role in our autism research. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Also helps with knowledge transfer into clinical practice #Otalk https://t.co/T3jSAQFt3w
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
This time with #Otalk, oops!! https://t.co/fJOLjgxWgT
#OTalk @OTalk_
Oh.. after my PhD I applied to do a post doc as a 'pure researcher' rather than a clinical academic and totally enjoyed it but big drop in salary #OTalk https://t.co/Z9zgchFQsX
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny Yes- even with my autism research... real life experiences help me focus on what should be researched. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Here is Q2 everyone #OTalk https://t.co/9cHJK0PzXV
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In the US, this is a more and more popular move with some #otgeek’s. #otalk
Faye Dunford @FayeDunford
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] You also get the opportunity to work as a rater within NHS research delivery #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Can you describe a couple [REDACTED USER] #OTalk https://t.co/58qcz3z5nq
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
My post is a permanent contract and after 10 years still loving the mix of clinical and research #Otalk https://t.co/gC7u7RUBd6
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ In US, we face same dilemma with post doc’s. #otalk
David @daviddrraigmore
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk I found a post-doc full time research role quite isolating. The disappointments associated with research- funding/ grant applications/ papers rejected would have been easier with peer support.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Any ideas where that might have been found @daviddrplymouth #otalk post doc roles are tough with high expectations https://t.co/4miqn5B4sJ
#OTalk @OTalk_
Thanks for the share a great resource for anyone looking for a PhD #OTalk https://t.co/hNPTXFLUmk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Not at all and I can't believe how quickly the 10 years has gone. I was appointed as a Consultant OT on completion of my PhD. My roles both clinically and as a researcher have grown and developed over this time and help hold my interest #Otalk https://t.co/a23QTd69ph
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] True. I think Deborah Pitts (who was my MH instructor and eventually got her PhD) was a great example. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is an important factor for many considering full time research as a career #OTAlk esp for early career researchers https://t.co/IHaLSNIvnV
Faye Dunford @FayeDunford
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hi Alison, a large proportion of the rating work undertaken at DPT is within dementia research and some adult mental health studies #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
OK folks. Time is flying here's Q 3 #OTAlk https://t.co/3wvwFUlUEy
David @daviddrraigmore
@OTalk_ #otalk I was lucky to be attached to a unit with a supportive professor. She did not have an OT background so informal contacts with practitioners provided an OT sounding board
Faye Dunford @FayeDunford
[REDACTED USER] @CarolKellyEHU [REDACTED USER] @Kathryn42628571 Absolutely! Ditto #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
So developing your networks kept you connected #OTalk https://t.co/qrvq8gYxgM
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ @daviddrplymouth Or sometimes a phone call to somebody who will listen and mentor. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@HD55 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I have one (in the US). I think it really depends on how you use it. #otalk
David @daviddrraigmore
@OTalk_ #OTalk yes, maintaining existing networks and establishing new networks is pretty critical
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Or sometimes the concept itself. Look at sensory integration. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is why it’s important to think about where you might locate post doc research #OTalk I’m not sure how many people plan beyond their PhD. Tend to Complete it and then wonder what next.... https://t.co/y1g1v5uUQi
Faye Dunford @FayeDunford
@OTalk_ I did when leading the delivery of the Valuing Active Life in Dementia project at Devon Partnership Trust for Jennifer Wenborn at UCL. Fabulous research experience!... or develop your own research #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@clairelou101 @dianecox61 [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre @OTalk_ I anticipated that when I was in OT school. But I am not cut out for it because I don’t feel I can handle the demands of a PhD (though I do have a clinical doctorate in US). #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @daviddrplymouth: @OTalk_ #OTalk yes, maintaining existing networks and establishing new networks is pretty critical
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@daviddrplymouth @OTalk_ And I know some researchers have strong connections with service users of the populations they research with. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
OK everyone here’s the next question #OTalk https://t.co/ZXm8M6SwEB
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] If I were more proactive about this, I would say from my own research faculty in OT school. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I find that being established within a research group or network is invaluable in providing peer support and ongoing mentoring as there is always more to learn #OTalk https://t.co/sFPbr8c9Y5
#OTalk @OTalk_
Was it a hard decision to go straight to PhD rather than clinical? This is a real option for others I think #OTalk https://t.co/oELAZSp7vG

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny I know that the US OT autism research group is pretty tight knit. It is pretty cool that I got involved in that circle. #otalk
@JackiePottleOT
@preston_jenny #Otalk copy of job description would be great if possible as my dream job would involve privilege of expectation of research instead of doing as an extra ( and mostly in my own time ) thanks for sharing
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @elle9891 And also capabilities. #otalk
Vbgdgftg @Els_OT
[REDACTED USER] @NIHR @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] The @NIHR funding opportunities are incredible, it’s also important to seek out a supportive and enthusiastic supervisor to enable you apply for funding #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
There is an important thing here about it being a career as a researcher or as a research occupational therapist which maybe needs teasing out a bit more how wedded are we to our prof. Identity #OTAlk https://t.co/nNI3FZO14X
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I think post docs in the US feel the same way. Yes... the very best ones get funding, but not terribly lot (though it depends on where you are geographically). #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Not a problem, pm me with your email address and I will send it across #OTalk https://t.co/puPfIlu8f5
Faye Dunford @FayeDunford
[REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] We absolutely need to lead! We need to seize opportunities, be creative and proactive in order to build research capacity for occupational therapy #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
If you’re at RCOT2018 come and hear Andy do it in just 3 mins atour fringe event So Tell me about your research on Monday #Otalk will be a great event https://t.co/zfWRWi4X91
Susan Corr💙 @SusanCorr1
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #OTalk we also have a long way to go to have clinical academic posts (joint uni & NHS) as routine career options. Hopefully over time we can create more of these
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Part of my role involves research leadership for all allied health professions, not just occupational therapy, so I guess it could work both ways #OTalk https://t.co/7CgSlPhzUR
#OTalk @OTalk_

#OTalk @OTalk_
Last 8 mins folks to add your thoughts #OTalk https://t.co/WtDtUZylMS
#OTalk @OTalk_
So great to share thanks as I think others have a similar concern and don’t do it #OTalk https://t.co/d9zcPk7qhd
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@JenniferMcAnuff [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Added benefit of that is- sometimes you can also get bonus publication opportunities. I got to do a few forewords for the big AOTA autism book that will be out soon. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @SusanCorr1 [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Having placement students sometimes are good reminders of why we need to keep pushing research too. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Funding is important but much of it has been about developing an infrastructure to create a research culture, support research, develop academic partnerships and provide support and mentoring. Also critical to be able to define relevant research questions #Otalk https://t.co/3zNCjhObL2
#OTalk @OTalk_
Where is the time going..... 2 mins for any final thoughts #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Lots two catch up on when the blog is posted #OTalk https://t.co/bkGffutR8r
#OTalk @OTalk_
Ok everyone thanks for such a fab #OTalk research [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] back to your curry now it’s been great
Susan Corr💙 @SusanCorr1
#OTalk connect with your local NHS R&D depts. they are always happy to help staff interested in doing research and can help overcome some barriers https://t.co/tkaPy02ZYw
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@andy83g @DrMiriamOT I agree! I can’t wait for me to see my name on the big AOTA autism book! #otalk
@JackiePottleOT
@daviddrplymouth [REDACTED USER] @LynneGoodacre [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #Otalk think you need to do research within a team in order to balance isolation of thinking with stimulation and discussion of ideas -have loved my research colleagues as much as my clinical colleagues
#OTalk @OTalk_
Don’t forget if you’d like to lead an #OTalk research let’s us know we have some slots later in the year.
#OTalk @OTalk_
Connect with @DrMiriamOT she did it #OTAlk https://t.co/VU8RcdMusf
#OTalk @OTalk_
Also the OT doctoral network are hosting a 3 minute challenge at RCOT2018 supported by [REDACTED USER] #OTalk 5 peeps will describe their research in 3 mins. No slides. Come and join us and do some networking as well on the Monday evening
@OccScienceBae
Currently listening to a webinar on trauma-informed behavioral planning for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. #AAIDD #OTalk2US #OT365
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I'm only going to RCOT conference for one day for the debate session. Hopefully I'll be able to be there for a bit longer next year and we can catch up in person #Otalk https://t.co/pVggL7ufzx
