![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Hi everyone, delighted to be joining tonight @Helen_OTUK #OTalk |

![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello folks! Today I am on the right side of the pond and participating. #OTalk |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Hi 👋 I’ll be lurking this evening. Limited experience/knowledge of #MND so hoping to #learn a few things 🙂 #OTalk |
![]() | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ Welcome Sharon, any questions just ask... don't forget to include #OTalk in all your tweets... Enjoy |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @OTalk_: Just enough time to get a brew and settle down for this evenings #OTalk in 15 mins, chatting all things MND and Occupational Therapy with @lisa_mnd_ and @mndeducation catch up with what we will be exploring this evening here https://t.co/ltf5AuckIM https://t.co/YMfgYM0nX5 |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Q1: As occupational therapists, what can we do to help people living with MND to manage pain? #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Had a lovely Irish stew and seafood chowder. Needed that to calm me down after my luggage did not arrive. #OTalk |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @Helen_OTUK @OTalk_ #OTalk I will try and keep up |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OPTalk Question 1: |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @mndeducation Lifestyle redesign comes to mind. I know pain management is one of the areas they address. #otalk |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ #otalk what is mnd? |
![]() | Team Catton @g_catton @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Hi! Looking forward to this #OTalk Lost my wonderful Mum to #MND and she is my inspiration for changing career. I'm now a 3rd occupational therapy student |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 Good to see you. Welcome to damp uk! |
![]() | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ Don't worry about catching every tweet it can get busy, if you get into a thread then enjoy that we add the transcript to the blog after 24hrs so you can always catch up... #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ Motor neuron disease #otalk |
![]() | Fascinating Fens @FascinatingFens @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Hi, just a shout out for the importance of the occupational therapy role in creativity and wellbeing as it is #CreativityandWellbeing week. What do others feel about this? #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @mndeducation Positioning crucial. I have a lovely family member in later stage of the disease now and how they sit /are sat makes huge difference #otalk #mnd |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @FascinatingFens @Helen_OTUK During the hour 8-9 we ask that all tweets are related to the topic of discussion this evening please.. https://t.co/ltf5AuckIM #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny First of all we need to understand the cause of any pain and consider factors that might help such as positioning, support e.g. neck support. I would always consider adaptations before opting for medicines #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Q2: How can occupational therapists help prepare people living with MND for the types of equipment they may need in the future? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/A4o0AcozJm |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 2 |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @mndeducation Education is one. Have them try out different ones and see what they like is another. I think patients will be motivated to try if they see concrete results and have little issues carrying over to real life. #otalk |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ #otalk back to basics, slowly |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @mndeducation Cramping and spasm also common causes of pain. Massage has helped and is simple for family members. #meaningfulOccupation #otalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny It is always a delicate balance to initiate the discussions early enough without overwhelming people with the delivery of equipment. I like to gently introduce the fact that there are options that we can consider should we need to at a later stage #OTalk |
![]() | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kilner100: @mndeducation Cramping and spasm also common causes of pain. Massage has helped and is simple for family members. #meaningfulOccupation #otalk |
![]() | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK opps... telling myself off! #OTalk |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @OTalk_ One client I met on placement was completely against having any equipment specifically stated to be for MND. He was reluctant to accept his dx & very low in mood. The OT struggled with this and alternative similar equipment used instead but his needs weren’t really met 🤷🏼♀️ #OTalk |
![]() | Team Catton @g_catton @mndeducation Sensitive collaborative planning, mindful there is no set pattern of progression of MND. Person centred approach key #OTalk #mnd |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @g_catton: @mndeducation Sensitive collaborative planning, mindful there is no set pattern of progression of MND. Person centred approach key #OTalk #mnd |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Person centered approach is key though! People need to know that their wishes are paramount. Hard to see someone struggle and yet having control can be so important #OTalk #MND |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @OTalk_ Q2 Timeliness is crucial with equipment. But also recognising that each progression is another loss of independence. A difficult balance. Mnda have good fact sheets. #OTalk |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @mndeducation I’ve found demonstrations are really useful. I’ll often take colleagues to demonstrate use of moving & handling equipment, so that the individuals & their families/carers can observe what the equipment does before using it themselves. It helps lessen the ‘fear factor’ #OTalk |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @OTalk_ Specifically a hoist sling that would support his head as he did not wish to wear a neck support brace. Any thoughts? #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @medeeha19 @Helen_OTUK #OTalk is a great way to gain some knowledge to take away for further development (p.s don;t forget to include #OTalk in all your tweets). Thanks ;) |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @mndeducation @OTalk_ Don’t forget the MND and OT booklet too! #OTalk #MND |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs RT @OTalk_: #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Q3: What is the OT role in postural management in MND? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/dtOzvZFuIa |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @otbarbs @OTalk_ I have to say my team on placement were all about ensuring their clients had control over their tx/lives :) they were wonderfully person-centred #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @kilner100: @OTalk_ Q2 Timeliness is crucial with equipment. But also recognising that each progression is another loss of independence. A difficult balance. Mnda have good fact sheets. #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk Question 3..... |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ So good to hear. Where were you on placement? #mnd #OTalk |
![]() | Austin Claffey @austinclaffey Often I have found a trusted nurse has been my way in, or local association staff/volunteers, or a consultant who would put the ‘you should see the OT’ word in. #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @OTalk_: #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Head brace /neck supports not helping my family member. He needs a person to support his head when hoisting. Each person is different #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @mndeducation: Q3: Q3: What is the OT role in postural management in MND? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/dtOzvZFuIa |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @otbarbs @OTalk_ Social services in Hull 🙂 wonderful team! #OTalk |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @kilner100 @OTalk_ Wonderful if you can get it right with family/carers. I’m not sure they tried this but good to reflect on! 🙂 #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ So good to hear. Glad you had a positive experience. Sometimes still a postcode lottery. #OTalk #mnd |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny There are some supportive slings which provide good neck support. Just need to check with the Reps to see what is available then convince the funders that standard equipment is not sufficient #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @mndeducation Q3 postural support and SEATING so crucial to function, pain relief, swallowing etc et ....Need expert input and ready access to equipment eg chairs and wedges. Anyone got any spare? #OTalk #MND |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ Improvement or maintenance #otalk, genuine inexperienced question |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @otbarbs @kilner100 @OTalk_ I don’t think he wanted to try one in the first place as he did not identify as having #MND and stuggled a lot with this. Was tough as he was very sweet #OTalk |
![]() | Austin Claffey @austinclaffey @JennyRolfe4 @mndeducation Going to add to that list; use of communication devices, feeding, respiratory/swallowing, participation, avoidance of bed, and good planning ahead for future needs. #OTalk |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @otbarbs @OTalk_ Very true! #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @otbarbs @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Tried lots. Sheffield one looked good but not comfortable. Resorted to pillows and beaded travel neck things. Seating helps too. #OTalk #mnd |
![]() | Edward Duncan @easduncan @preston_jenny Would love to join #OTalk MND conversation tonight! Home activities make it impossible. But look forward to catching up with it later. |
![]() | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @easduncan @preston_jenny We don't do the transcript for at least 24 hrs so plenty of time to chip in.... #OTalk |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @otbarbs @kilner100 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ How does the collar enable an individual to engage in meaningful activity, maintain roles etc? #OTalk ..... |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Q4: How can OTs support social inclusion for people living with MND, their families and carers? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/GGGWH0X0z7 |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 4....... |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @mndeducation I think that OT’s are perfectly placed to problem solve issues with postural management. Often the restriction is accessing the equipment! #OTalk #MND |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation @otbarbs Definitely @otbarbs. Lots of research in that field at the moment! #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Austin Claffey @austinclaffey @kilner100 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Oxford with some additions and OT made supports (remember plaztazote anyone?) got us out of a few fixes. #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @JennyRolfe4 @LAURA59455619 Hi Jenny, don't forget to include #OTalk in your tweets or peeps may miss them and they won't get included in the transcript! Ta ;) |
![]() | Claire McEwen @ClaireMc_OT @mndeducation @CynthiaSHospice we have various education, exercise and social groups that people with MND and their carers can access. We are also looking at supported access to community seated tai chi groups. #OTalk |
![]() | Laura 𝘕𝘘𝘖𝘛 @Laura_Does @JennyRolfe4 @OTalk_ That’s an excellent point 🙂 I wasn’t there long enough to see complete outcome but I’m sure the OTs did their best to meet his needs as they presented since he did not wish to identify as having #MND #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Improves posture to allow increased use of upper limbs; can use technology at eye level; supports conversations by being able to look at the other person’s face. It allowed one of my patients to go out for runs in the car and enjoy the scenery etc, etc, etc #OTalk |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @sharoncrabtree4 @kilner100 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Good positioning and comfort enables people to focus on meaningful engagement. Collars are a small part of the big picture when supporting someone with #mnd #OTalk |
![]() | Somia Jan @SomiaOT @mndeducation Definitely education early on! I’ve worked in neuro and we often put on equipment demonstrations so people knew what was available before hand and it always went down well #OTalk #MND |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @sharoncrabtree4 @otbarbs @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Collar...where to start. Head down can't eat can't see TV can't use assisting tech electronic or otherwise and also very uncomfortable. Crucial for function . Later for breathing. #otalk #MND |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ @JennyRolfe4 @LAURA59455619 no worries... we all do it! I missed it off my first tweet today too! ha ha #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Q5: Do OTs suffer compassion fatigue when working with people with MND? How can this be managed? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/JIhcdLwSEa |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @JennyRolfe4 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ And if posture is not addressed soon enough head gets stuck in flexion. ... #otalk Sorry too close to my heart this one 😢 |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation @SomiaOT Great idea @SomiaOT ! This is something we’re currently scoping, the option of organising equipment demos more widely. #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Austin Claffey @austinclaffey @JennyRolfe4 @mndeducation Or make it! #OTalk |
![]() | Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope RT @mndeducation: Q2: Q2: How can occupational therapists help prepare people living with MND for the types of equipment they may need in the future? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/A4o0AcozJm |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 5..... |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @austinclaffey @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ I'll look those up! Ty #OTalk |
![]() | Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope RT @OTalk_: #OTalk Question 4....... |
![]() | Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope RT @otbarbs: @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ Person centered approach is key though! People need to know that their wishes are paramount. Hard to see someone struggle and yet having control can be so important #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope RT @SomiaOT: @mndeducation Definitely education early on! I’ve worked in neuro and we often put on equipment demonstrations so people knew what was available before hand and it always went down well #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Claire McEwen @ClaireMc_OT @mndeducation #OTalk |
![]() | Somia Jan @SomiaOT @mndeducation It worked so well! service users and their carers all had a play and I found they were more accepting when the time came as they were more prepared, the knowledge of equipment empowered them which is always nice #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Sometimes it gets tough for even the most seasoned professionals. We are all human. Important to have a team around you to share and support each other #OTalk |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @mndeducation Early intervention is critical here... We need to anticipate access needs. I’m often by individuals that they feel trapped within their own homes & very isolated. Some major adaptations (eg. through-floor lifts & ramped access to a property) can take months to be completed #OTalk |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @mndeducation It’s human to feel the loss. #OTalk #MNd |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation @SomiaOT Brilliant! We made need to pick your brains for more info! #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Austin Claffey @austinclaffey Great question #OTalk and my experience would be yes. Not sure is compassion fatigue or just the ongoing tragedy. We had a psychologist facilitated monthly group for entire MDT, and that helped. |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 #otalk |
![]() | Jenny Rolfe @JennyRolfe4 @mndeducation I think enabling people to try to maintain their roles and activities as much as possible and utilising internet and web based activities if people find it difficult to physically attend activities #OTalk |
![]() | Austin Claffey @austinclaffey @RachaelD_OT @mndeducation #onthemoney #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
![]() | Jenny Rolfe @JennyRolfe4 @kilner100 @LAURA59455619 @OTalk_ i think this is the hardest challenge i face as an OT working with postural management in MND... it is such an unmet need... #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation @otbarbs @SomiaOT @loros That’s the one @otbarbs. We need to pick your brains too!! 😃#OTalk #MND |
![]() | Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope RT @OTalk_: #OTalk Question 5..... |
![]() | Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @mndeducation I think posture, comfort & positioning allows individuals with MND to participate in meaningful activities. During one of my placements, providing a back rest for one of the patients meant that he was able to sleep comfortably and continue to go on family holidays💚 #OTalk |
![]() | Barbara Strevens @otbarbs @mndeducation @SomiaOT @loros I had a great conversation with @julietseward1 today. Happy to help #OTalk #mnd |
![]() | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @RachaelD_OT @mndeducation Yes, agreed difficult balance 'having the conversation' at the right time for the person and also in time for the adaptation to be completed... #OTalk |
![]() | Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK I’m late but glad I’m able to join in tonight’s #OTalk. Having experience with MND on my palliative care placement in second year. Hi everyone 👋🏼 |
![]() | Jenny Rolfe @JennyRolfe4 @mndeducation I work just with MND patients along with a great team and we are all there for each other. most of the time its business as usual but sometimes a situation will be very upsetting and its important to acknowledge that and that it is ok to be upset #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @RachaelD_OT @mndeducation Q4 Just having the right wheelchair is crucial for getting out and seems to take too long.... locally the ot can hire seating. Brilliant. But family had to hire a wheelchair. Still waiting for NHS chair. #OTalk |
![]() | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @JennyRolfe4: @mndeducation I work just with MND patients along with a great team and we are all there for each other. most of the time its business as usual but sometimes a situation will be very upsetting and its important to acknowledge that and that it is ok to be upset #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation @JennyRolfe4 Yes @jennyRolfe4. The @mndassoc online forum is a great way for people with #MND to talk to each other, should they wish to and can help reduce social isolation. #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Last question... Q6: Do OTs manage fatigue in MND? Does this differ from managing fatigue in other conditions? #OTalk #MND https://t.co/rb3QtGuklw |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 6...... |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation I usually discuss it & make my recommendation very early on (with consent). I explain that it will not happen immediately & that just because a major adaptation is recommended, doesn’t mean that it cannot be declined further down the line if they change their mind #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @mndeducation @JennyRolfe4 @mndassoc Also need to consider family /carers. Social isolation for them if caring 24/7. Online support would be great but sitting services needed too. Loved ones too easily give up their occupations which may be difficult to regain in future. #OTalk |
![]() | Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @mndeducation I think showing empathy is important, I’ve seen patients within a number of weeks and seeing those small changes occur which is hard for the patients & their family. Spending time getting to know the person, discussing future planning & how this can promote independence #OTalk |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ #otalk fatigue is fatigue for me, an IT'S understanding of a condition increases empathy, improves therapeutic relationships, engagement and motivation? |
![]() | Jenny Rolfe @JennyRolfe4 @mndeducation I think Fatigue Management principles can be applied to different conditions - some variations may be needed to be person specific. I do think fatigue can be overlooked in MND especially early #OTalk |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @otbarbs @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation I only get to visit an individual once or twice & so there’s a lot to discuss & consider in a short space of time. It can be very overwhelming. It’s so important that the individual is a part of decision making & aware that they are not obligated to follow recommendations #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Well that went fast.... last 5 mins of the official hours folks... What are your take away thoughts? CPD action plans? #OTalk https://t.co/NJXVh9yDx3 |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Lauren Osborne @LaurenOsborneOT @mndeducation I’m interested in anyone’s views or experience in using frontal head supports in wch such as Whitmeyer with forehead strap/cap? Am concerned about causing chin poke & neck being delicate but heads are so difficult to support & it seems like there’s a place for them? #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @mndeducation Using energy conservation strategies are transferable but ensuring this is person specific. The condition of MND affects fatigue in individuals at different stages. As a student this was interesting & the importance of early intervention & support for the patients #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @RachaelD_OT @otbarbs @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation Can you get involved again? In #mnd needs will change dramatically and often quickly. Equipment and m&h needs are ongoing. What is your role/ service @RachaelD_OT? #otalk |
![]() | KIRSTY OT @KIRSTY_OT @OTalk_ It's about how fatigue affects the person as an individual rather than condition labelling. Everyone experiences their own journey when given a diagnosis. We then look at how it impacts on a person's daytoday activities & also remember to focus on strengths #OTalk @mndeducation |
![]() | Somia Jan @SomiaOT @mndeducation I used a fatigue management program which consisted of services users gaining insight via a fatigue diary, prioritising activities and using activity analysis to preserve energy, followed by planning and pacing. The principles for me stay the same but the intervention 1/2 #OTalk |
![]() | sharon crabtree @sharoncrabtree4 @OTalk_ #otalk collaboration work as one with my client with an occupation focus..... never put aside my OT core skills regardless of my employment environment.... the basics, core skills and embracing where I really feel I have made and am making a difference to those that need it |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation Thanks for joining us for #OTalk tonight! Lots of interesting discussions and plenty of food for thought for us. Please bear with us as we work through your tweets! For further #MND information, please visit https://t.co/s7qndxtNJM or call our Connect helpline on 0808 802 6262. https://t.co/3FzvqYu7JE |
![]() | Somia Jan @SomiaOT @mndeducation 2/2 the intervention was made individual to the service user dependant on their goals/ priorities each fatigue journey was completely varied. The condition to me is not important but more so how this impacts my service users and what we can do about it #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @mndeducation I'll take a look. Ty #OTalk |
![]() | Lauren Osborne @LaurenOsborneOT @mndeducation OTs are perfectly placed to provide a range of advice and equipment (postural seating, wheelchairs, night time positioning) for 24h #PostureManagement for #MND The challenge is where does the funding come from! #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Opps did i miss the # off! hahaha Happens to us all! |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @kilner100 @otbarbs @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation I work as an Occupational Therapist within a council Occupational Therapy service. We assess for simple equipment, minor adaptations & major adaptations. Our involvement is very short, but individuals can re-refer themselves or be re-referred by other services at any time #OTalk |
![]() | MND Education @mndeducation @OTalk_ @lisa_mnd_ Thanks #OTalk and everyone! Fantastic engagement this evening. Lots of info for professionals on our website and we write a monthly education update if you’re interested. You can sign up online #MND |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @OTalk_ Action plan: lots to look up/research. Take away thought: keep person at the centre. #OTalk #MND |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @kilner100 @otbarbs @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation Recently, we have seen an increase in referral rates for individuals with MND - usually with requests for major adaptations #OTalk |
![]() | ARK OT @kilner100 @RachaelD_OT @otbarbs @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation Council ots have been fab for my family member and the care handling ots were very responsive and quick. You're brill. 😀 #OTalk #mnd |
![]() | Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @SomiaOT @mndeducation Completely agree with you & this is what I did with my educators during my placement. I think the education of fatigue management helps most service users & instead of stopping doing everything, they have the opportunity to prioritise the meaningful activities in the day #OTalk |
![]() | #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks all for thought provoking #Otalk @Helen_OTUK signing off the account now, do keep chatting. |
![]() | Rachael (she/her) 🏳️🌈 @RachaelD_OT @kilner100 @otbarbs @Helen_OTUK @mndeducation I’m pleased to hear that. Having also had a family member diagnosed with #MND, I am all too aware of how challenging it can often be #OTalk |
![]() | Bethany💙 @BethjmOT Seeing changes in patients with MND & my educators told me having them on caseloads within a long period of time and building strong rapports with families too. We are all only human when we are showing compassion, but feel that we should share this within supervision #OTalk |
![]() | Shelley Faulkner OT @shelleyamybeth Oooh...I didn’t realise #BlurtChats was a thing! Time to get back to participating in #OTalk (when a bit less overwhelmed) & planning Tuesday evenings accordingly. #OccupationalTherapist #OccupationalTherapy #Selfcare #patientandprofessional |
