@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] I’m already feeling ok with this #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Ready to go as ever! #otalk https://t.co/MmgJz0Sf2O
#OTalk @OTalk_
Right, lets get this show on the road! [REDACTED USER] its over to you! #OTalk https://t.co/CBKa0x285M
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] Being honest I hadn’t but really want to take the opportunity to think how we can be more occupation focus #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question one... #OTalk https://t.co/E2RgJux0sZ
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I was lucky enough to attend the [REDACTED USER] launch event. There is literally tons that we can all do to support the strategic intentions #OTalk https://t.co/6uTk3MEl7Y
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just gonna leave this here... 😂 #OTalk https://t.co/srht9cLvkD
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] This is true in the US context too. Just had a discussion on the new platform on AOTA called CommunOT discussing how we are meeting our own Vision 2025. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Yes I did [REDACTED USER] and I was proud to share it on Twitter. My pledge is to continue to raise the profile of occupational therapy in everything that I do #OTalk https://t.co/tNQFyiIMkY
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] Also considering people aren't in one job for life and then retire anymore. People will have multiple streams of revenue now (side-hustles) and retrain and reskill throughout their life #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Speaking of which... have you seen the latest TEDx talk by Joy Doll? She gave a good one on how OT can be a great partner in multidisciplinary teams in healthcare earlier this year. #otalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] Although I wasn’t at conference I really like the idea of making a pledge #OTalk mine was to try and join in here!
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] #otalk sorry!
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk You can check out the [REDACTED USER] strategic intentions & supporting info via the link https://t.co/YviL7pC2zj
@gemOT18
@KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Similar conversations where we work but we must keep going with it to move forward #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] If it is my answer, I think partly is because we are a relatively newer profession. Partly is because at least some portion of our history of existence... our ways of finding relevancy in public were not the most efficient. #otalk
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] No more paper notes, include 21st century occupations on interest checklists (blogging, vlogging, video-gaming), and look at innovative way of how things like VR could be used in rehab (dementia, stroke) #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Loving the positivity in this pledge [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] My pledge ([REDACTED USER]) was to help OT position itself for the 21st century by sharing and promoting emerging roles & diverse practice. Starting with my own work in the assistance dog/dog training sector #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] We will let you off this once... wouldnt want to scare you off again 😉 #OTALK
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] That is why I decided to suck up and organize my own TEDx event! I want to give us a consistent avenue rather than relying on other members in public. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Me too. But i may be a little bias 😉 #OTalk
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] Good question, is there a system in place for that at the moment where electronic notes are kept? #OTalk
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Cool, do you have the reference for that? #OTalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] There was a recent article from [REDACTED USER] about technology and older people which I found interesting in that not everyone can or wants to use tech #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question two... #OTalk https://t.co/MSzlK7bFAi
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Sometimes I wonder if we do need to promote the profession as much as we think we need to (sorry a bit controversial!) but increasingly I discover people who know all about occupational therapy #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@orlatheot [REDACTED USER] I know in my setting in the US... as long as my work has contract with the nursing homes, we can definitely go back and check prior medical records... given I have access to the nursing homes previously (which means I worked in those before) #otalk
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Wow, with children? What does that involve? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
To this I once heard someone say start with “I am an occupational therapist and in my role I...” rather than trying to explain OT as a whole & its breadth. ( i think it might have been [REDACTED USER]?) #OTalk https://t.co/H1ihkOtnBX
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Thanks 😊 #OTalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] Very true! Some would say that’s for the better #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I think that is why live tweeting at conference is always a good idea. While we should get some interactions with our usual suspects, if we can reach certain others who don’t know about OT... we are doing awesome work. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Jenny throwing one in from the left field...thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/D8PlCzKCqq
#OTalk @OTalk_
Do it! Lots of new people in the Twittersphere these days! #OTalk https://t.co/Y9FfTEeBvo
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] I guess it’s how we frame it and by the very nature of being OTs we are having that ‘occupation’ focus #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@preston_jenny @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I admit I at times overdo it. I think in some global south countries or countries where OT has recently developed, though, we still need to establish our place. #otalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@OTalk_ Just still in a state of shock that my 17 year old son came home from school saying his friend wants to be an occupational therapist! I promise I never influenced his decision 😂😂 #OTalk. Just pleased my son owned up to knowing one 😂😂
#OTalk @OTalk_
@parrkers [REDACTED USER] We post it on both to ensure we dont miss anyone. Maybe try following just [REDACTED USER] tweets and see if that helps? #OTalk
Orla @orlatheot
[REDACTED USER] Occupations are the activities that we need, want, and have to do. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@preston_jenny Haha. Have you been sending him to school with [REDACTED USER] pens?? #OTalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I always think that’s a great place to start and I always talk about engaging in activities that are meaningful to you #OTalk

Now there’s a missed opportunity #OTalk https://t.co/8yvY4dJhvj
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question three...#OTalk https://t.co/VM3zlImgD6
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @parrkers [REDACTED USER] I think confidence comes with time. But perhaps case examples from you and showing #valueofot are probably the most important things you got to do. #otalk
@gemOT18
Really like this definition! #OTalk https://t.co/Mn5LjCUkvN
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Same goes with the autism community as well- many caregivers know about our roles in pediatrics, but not necessarily in other setting and/or populations. #otalk
Mabel @girllikemabel

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Absolutely still fits the bill [REDACTED USER] #OTalk https://t.co/as8F3tjFb9
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] Perfect! I have lots of reading to do after my first #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] And also our community partners too. They can be the ones that provide us avenues to enhance their services. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Absolutely! Look at our TED/TEDx talks for example, most of the speakers seldom/never use jargon. If they do, they will need to explain at 6th grade level. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny

#OTalk @OTalk_
Half way through tonights chat! Super busy tonight but great to see so many newbies out there giving #OTalk a go!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] To a mass audience, though, it is better to err on the side of easier language. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Im impressed with my memory there! #OTalk A perfect example of #HelloMyNameIs as well 👍🏼
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Sounds great Amie let us know how it goes #OTpromotion #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Welcome aboard Catherine! Add the #OTalk hashtag into your tweets to join in 👍🏼
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @gemOT18 @OTalk_ Perhaps you can show the TED talk by Holly Cohen... since many people in the younger generation do like TED/TEDx talks. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question four... #OTalk https://t.co/wHstusMt6F
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] Dont we all! Strawberry for me please! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I love hearing this topic... don’t feel it is discussed in US as much. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] I hope you set them straight!! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Heading into the last 15 minutes with [REDACTED USER]. Some great points & ideas going on! #OTalk https://t.co/cMJblzF0qs
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@eleanorramsell [REDACTED USER] That makes me being a TEDx curator a unique challenge. I will definitely get someone good... but then make his/her speech be understood universally means I got to put my OT hat away when reviewing the script. #otalk
@gemOT18
@KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] Absolutely. Being patient centred and explaining that activities and occupations are used for treatment. Explaining the value of occupation #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] Absolutely agree, must be driven by the person #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @YouTube One thing I will try to ensure when I review the OT TEDx presentation for my event is- the speaker should be able to explain what we do in 2 minutes or less. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] I ([REDACTED USER]) had this once, although they said it in jest... told them my lazy trousers were in the wash so i thought id wear the greens and rock their world 😂 #OTalk

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Are we absolutely certain that this doesn’t happen to other professionals too, is it only occupational therapists that get mistaken for others ... I wonder 🤔#OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] Success!! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question five... #OTalk https://t.co/AEVJ8iV4A5
@gemOT18
@OTalk_ Can’t find the tweet now but someone mentioned putting Occupational outcome measures in d/c letters which I find so helpful & will continue #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Ooooo. Thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/LrdBrazoQ3
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] Really like the idea of this and talking more about occupations of daily living this could be so much more productive in furthering understanding #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] In NHS Scotland we all wear the same blue uniforms with our profession embroidered on our right chest. It must happen to others too, surely 🤔#OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
The #OTalk fam love a good movement! https://t.co/7txUTs1otv
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I think it is important to find meaningful occupations that these individuals want to do... as long as it is within reason, of course. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] Hahahaha. This chat took a strange direction! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In the US... I know I am the only wear OT T-shirts almost always. Other staff usually wear scrubs. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Just throwing it out there... what do people thing is “within reason?”. Should this even apply to OT practice #OTalk https://t.co/Xql1u8U75o
#OTalk @OTalk_
5 minutes left... #OTalk
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I too have found this useful and in a group setting when we make plans for the following week I’ll often commit to a goal too so pts can ask me about it. It’s good role-modelling #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Good question. In my setting... because some patients are in locked units sometimes, it’s not the easiest to get clearance to get them out to a local drug store or market. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
The awesome [REDACTED USER] bringing back the “Define OT in a tweet” challenge! #OTalk https://t.co/B1NYEnzxN6
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] Yes very confusing for everyone!#OTalk. However it serves as a reminder that we are not always defined by what colour we wear.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Or sometimes if patients with dementia who are long term care patients might say, “I want to go home. I miss my family.” Sometimes we might not be able to honor such requests. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Last question to wrap up tonights #OTalk chat. What is your #OTpledge? https://t.co/LyWaNfGyLa
@gemOT18
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @KimWillisOT [REDACTED USER] Love a quote. Tomorrow’s task for me too to print this! #OTalk
