| Rachel @OT_rach @VikkiBarryOT Nice to have you here. #OTalk |
| @gem_OT @gemOT18 @OT_rach 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 @theRCOT launch event. There is literally tons that we can all do to support the strategic intentions #OTalk https://t.co/6uTk3MEl7Y |
| RCOT Northern Ireland @RCOTNIreland RT @gemOT18: @OT_rach Being honest I hadn’t but really want to take the opportunity to think how we can be more occupation focus #OTalk |
 | Kim Willis @KimWillisOT @gemOT18 @OT_rach Same here #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach Great to read #OTalk what about others? https://t.co/JOlgiglEqW |
| Rachel @OT_rach RT @preston_jenny: I was lucky enough to attend the @theRCOT launch event. There is literally tons that we can all do to support the strat… |
| EmmaOT @OTBartlett @OT_rach I've heard that they are there but haven't had chance to look at them yet #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Just gonna leave this here... 😂 #OTalk https://t.co/srht9cLvkD |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @gemOT18 @OT_rach 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 |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @OT_rach I've heard of them! I would be slightly worried if I hadn't. I agree with needing to promote the profession more, I'm always talking to someone about occupational therapy #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach @preston_jenny @theRCOT Did you make pledge Jenny? #otalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT #OTalk With being on the N&Y committee I had heard of the strategic intentions and feel it’s particularly important to ensure that we are meeting the needs of Occupational Therapists nationwide in as proactive and engaging manner as possible #OTalk https://t.co/TuzK5GiAGN |
| Rachel @OT_rach @OTBartlett There is a video on the @theRCOT website good to watch. #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach https://t.co/g3N0a266wL Here is a link to @theRCOT video #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach Ditto! I think it’s vital for all of us #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Yes I did @OT_rach 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 |
| Rachel @OT_rach RT @VikkiBarryOT: #OTalk With being on the N&Y committee I had heard of the strategic intentions and feel it’s particularly important to en… |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT Here's the video! https://t.co/94TjIKoCRS #OTalk https://t.co/tutb1SabGv |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach 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 |
| Sharon Parkin @parrkers @OTalk_ Yes, vaguely. Just googled to remind myself #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach 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 |
| Kim Willis @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach I agree. As OT's we seem to always need to promote our profession, why is that?! #OTalk |
| @gem_OT @gemOT18 @OT_rach @preston_jenny @theRCOT Although I wasn’t at conference I really like the idea of making a pledge #OTalk mine was to try and join in here! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @VikkiBarryOT: #OTalk With being on the N&Y committee I had heard of the strategic intentions and feel it’s particularly important to en… |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach #otalk sorry! |
| Rachel @OT_rach @orlatheot And how can you do that in practice #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk You can check out the @theRCOT strategic intentions & supporting info via the link https://t.co/YviL7pC2zj |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @preston_jenny @OT_rach I think we can all echo your pledge Jenny! Mine was to continue to shout about, inspire and enthuse all about Occupational Therapy #OTalk |
| RCOT Northern Ireland @RCOTNIreland @OT_rach The feedback about the strategic intentions has been excellent. Members are delighted with the clear direction and regional applications that have been brought out. #OTalk #occupation #occupationalTherapists |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT RT @Amie_OT: Here's the video! https://t.co/94TjIKoCRS #OTalk https://t.co/tutb1SabGv |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I think it's because partly, compared to nurses and other healthcare professions, occupational therapy is relatively new, and partly because there are so many different healthcare professions the public don't always know who does what #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_rach: https://t.co/g3N0a266wL Here is a link to @theRCOT video #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach Great question? #otalk do other professions not have to do this? https://t.co/xZKM3uwAQQ |
| @gem_OT @gemOT18 @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach Similar conversations where we work but we must keep going with it to move forward #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @gemOT18 @OT_rach @preston_jenny @theRCOT You can do your own pledge via twitter #OTalk |
| EmmaOT @OTBartlett @OT_rach @theRCOT Thanks. Just watched it. #OTalk |

| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @VikkiBarryOT @preston_jenny @OT_rach Mine was to keep shouting about occupational therapy, (even if I annoy my family with it), they will know what occupational therapy is #OTalk |
| Julie-Anne Lowe @julieannelowe1 @OT_rach I ran out of charactots #OTalk .. straight to the naughty step for me kirstie! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach 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 @OT_rach 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 @VikkiBarryOT @OT_rach Loving the positivity in this pledge @VikkiBarryOT #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach It happens. #OTalk https://t.co/GCU0pm31Z4 |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @OT_rach My pledge (@Kirstie_OT) 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 RT @VikkiBarryOT: @preston_jenny @OT_rach I think we can all echo your pledge Jenny! Mine was to continue to shout about, inspire and enthu… |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Pretty much what I said too! =] #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @OT_rach Couldn’t agree more! We can’t expect others to do it for us - it’s part and parcel of our role I think #OTalk |
| Kim Willis @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I think our profession is so broad. We work a cross all areas of health & social care with all conditions and all age groups. Not easy to define as our roles differ depending on setting #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTalk_: @OT_rach My pledge (@Kirstie_OT) was to help OT position itself for the 21st century by sharing and promoting emerging roles &… |
 | SuzyorkOT @SuzyorkOT RT @OTalk_: #OTalk You can check out the @theRCOT strategic intentions & supporting info via the link https://t.co/YviL7pC2zj |
| Rachel @OT_rach What if people don’t want there information on electronic systems? How does the 21st-century manage that? #otalk https://t.co/JjqmjIvsz7 |
| OTalk @OTalk_ @julieannelowe1 @OT_rach We will let you off this once... wouldnt want to scare you off again 😉 #OTALK |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT RT @preston_jenny: @VikkiBarryOT @OT_rach Loving the positivity in this pledge @VikkiBarryOT #OTalk |

| @gem_OT @gemOT18 RT @OT_rach: https://t.co/g3N0a266wL Here is a link to @theRCOT video #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @OTalk_ @OT_rach @Kirstie_OT I totally think there's a role in occupational therapists working in the assistance dog sector, matching families etc, sounds so interesting! #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT Love this #OTalk https://t.co/K7alLNCuvT |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_rach: What if people don’t want there information on electronic systems? How does the 21st-century manage that? #otalk https://t.co… |
| Julie-Anne Lowe @julieannelowe1 @OT_rach But I should really be able to write to a word count... part of the day job! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @VikkiBarryOT @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @OT_rach 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_ @Amie_OT @OT_rach @Kirstie_OT Me too. But i may be a little bias 😉 #OTalk |
| Kim Willis @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Probably for another day, but I also feel we have been herded into roles and responsibilities that lead us away from an Occupational focus ie discharge planning and equipment provision #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: @OT_rach I think our profession is so broad. We work a cross all areas of health & social care with all conditions and all… |
| Rachel @OT_rach Really busy one tonight hope everyone can keep up, just go with the flow but we need to move on to question two now. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @orlatheot @OT_rach I reviewed a great article on using VR within falls prevention, it's definitely a way to go #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @OTalk_ @OT_rach @Kirstie_OT I totally think there's a role in occupational therapists working in the assistance dog sector, m… |
| OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_rach: Really busy one tonight hope everyone can keep up, just go with the flow but we need to move on to question two now. #otalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT I agree however the one thing we specialise and are experts in across all the areas and settings is occupation - that’s our expertise! #OTalk https://t.co/q8Ye2tV509 |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach Good question, is there a system in place for that at the moment where electronic notes are kept? #OTalk |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @orlatheot @OT_rach #Otalk we've started looking at VR in rehab, keeping up with advances in tech can be tricky! |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @VikkiBarryOT @preston_jenny @OT_rach I think most people who are passionate about their jobs like to talk about it, I'm no different! =] #OTalk |
 | ForensicDetail @ForensicDetail #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT @OT_rach Cool, do you have the reference for that? #OTalk |
| Julie-Anne Lowe @julieannelowe1 Try again..#OTalk https://t.co/xUOs0IUkVa |
| @gem_OT @gemOT18 @OT_rach There was a recent article from @Ageing_Better about technology and older people which I found interesting in that not everyone can or wants to use tech #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach Moving on - Question 2: What is you’re understanding of ‘occupation’ and it’s meaning with occupational therapy? #OTalk #RCOT2018 |
 | Sarah Innes @SarahInnes16 @OT_rach I’ve heard of the strategic intentions. First at my regions RCOT leadership roadshow. It’s great to see the occupational therapy profile being raised. We all have a role to play in evidencing our worth and showing the #valueofOT #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @OT_rach I may have to check that out! =] #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Question two... #OTalk https://t.co/MSzlK7bFAi |
| OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_rach: Moving on - Question 2: What is you’re understanding of ‘occupation’ and it’s meaning with occupational therapy? #OTalk #RCOT… |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach 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 |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @orlatheot @OT_rach I'll have to dig it out tomorrow, it's on my desk at work! #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @OT_rach Very true! #OTalk |
 | Lauren @Lauren_OT RT @OT_rach: Moving on - Question 2: What is you’re understanding of ‘occupation’ and it’s meaning with occupational therapy? #OTalk #RCOT… |
| ForensicDetail @ForensicDetail I like number 2 - positioning for the 21st century - the fast moving 24 hour news cycle, rapid dissemination of good and questionable ideas - need to develop critical thinking #otalk |
 | Helen Brown @HelenBrown09 Hi Folks just lurking - interesting chat though #otalk |
| EmmaOT @OTBartlett @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Even when doing discharge planning & equipment we can talk about enabling meaningful occupation. Use the language of occupation #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @julieannelowe1 Really do share your thoughts on this Julie #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach This a great and you don’t need to be an older person. I have friends in there 30’s that choice not to have phone or social media for example. #OTalk https://t.co/CcpvyCtq5b |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot @OT_rach 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 |
| Paediatric OT @OT_south @OT_rach #Otalk occupation is cruical to well-being |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @KimWillisOT: @OT_rach Probably for another day, but I also feel we have been herded into roles and responsibilities that lead us away f… |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_south @OT_rach 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 @LindaAgnew2?) #OTalk https://t.co/H1ihkOtnBX |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I think it depends on the setting, I've met more people that have a good knowledge of occupational therapy within the healthcare sector, but know a lot of people outside of healthcare that still think I'm occupational health or a physio #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT What a question...looking forward to seeing the responses to this #OTalk https://t.co/HpP42MOKAJ |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT @OT_rach Thanks 😊 #OTalk |
 | Jessika Lack @JessikaLack_OT RT @BillWongOT: @Amie_OT @OT_rach Speaking of which... have you seen the latest TEDx talk by Joy Doll? She gave a good one on how OT can be… |
| @gem_OT @gemOT18 @OT_rach Very true! Some would say that’s for the better #OTalk |
 | Carolina Cordero @colourful_ot @Amie_OT @KimWillisOT @OT_rach It's also very varied; someone could e.g. understand perfectly what an OT working in the orthopaedics ward of a hospital does but not have any idea of how that same profession could lend itself to working in mental health in the community since that looks so different! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTBartlett: @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Even when doing discharge planning & equipment we can talk about enabling meaningful occupation. Use… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ForensicDetail: I like number 2 - positioning for the 21st century - the fast moving 24 hour news cycle, rapid dissemination of good an… |
| Sharon Parkin @parrkers @OT_rach Following on from another twitter convo.. I feel more OT services need to be more accessible eg in GP practices. Sometime services make it difficult to access probably due to overwhelming workloads #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT @OTBartlett @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I couldn’t agree more Emma #OTalk |
| ForensicDetail @ForensicDetail @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 feel like i might dig out "occupational therapy in a tweet" challenge #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ForensicDetail 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 |
| Rachel @OT_rach What do we call it to ensure it showed we are occupation focussed? Or do we just not do discharge planning? Is that someone’s else’s job? #OTalk https://t.co/gTzIeYOkIj |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT Like the sound of this #OTalk https://t.co/gdJoXrZnPR |
| Rachel @OT_rach Why? #OTALK https://t.co/mUsEvLwwiW |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @colourful_ot @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Completely agree with you there, understand that the profession lends itself to both physical and mental health settings can initially be confusing, it's why I focus on occupations being 'pieces of doing' and using examples #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Do it! Lots of new people in the Twittersphere these days! #OTalk https://t.co/Y9FfTEeBvo |
| Julie-Anne Lowe @julieannelowe1 @OT_rach For me it is the fundemental aspect of being human... everything revolves around doing within a particular environment, therefore the context and the understanding of this is crucial to our practice #OTalk |
 | Suzanne Henshall @Suze17 @OT_rach I'm here. #OTalk |
| Sarah Innes @SarahInnes16 @OT_rach @OTalk_ Occupation is core to human nature. It’s key to engage in things we need and want to do. It’s a powerful tool, vital to occupational therapy to support people to live life the way they want to, to the best of their potential. #OTalk #rcot |
 | Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley Same for me too, saw them at #RCOT2018 and in OT news and been firstly thinking how I can support #OTeducation to enable students to be confident with technology and digital skills to prepare them for practice. #OTalk https://t.co/AFyfnHMYQK |
| EmmaOT @OTBartlett @VikkiBarryOT When I talk about occupations I explain... 'it is all the things that you do that occupy your time', then take it from there. #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @ForensicDetail @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 Do it, I'll give it a go =] #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach How do we do this #OTalk https://t.co/PoXjSvyk0P |
| Sharon Parkin @parrkers @OT_rach @OTalk_ It maybe easier if the question is posed on the other @OTalk_ or @OT_rach as I’m losing the plot here trying to keep up #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach RT @Suze17: @OT_rach I'm here. #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach @Suze17 Welcome #OTalk |
| ForensicDetail @ForensicDetail @Amie_OT @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 Haha - brilliant - i only just unpinned it from my page. Will rake it out from my old blog post #otalk |
| @gem_OT @gemOT18 @JessikaLack_OT @KimWillisOT @OT_rach 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 @Amie_OT @OT_rach 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 |
| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @Ruth_Hawley I would have loved more focus on using technology and how it can be adapted for healthcare #OTalk |
| Kim Willis @KimWillisOT @JessikaLack_OT @OT_rach I understand your point, but I feel that these roles are taking priority over person focused intervention. Person x needs to be able to x, y and, z prior to d/c, according to ward.. Not necessarily the person #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 @OT_rach We post it on both to ensure we dont miss anyone. Maybe try following just @OT_rach tweets and see if that helps? #OTalk |
| Vikki Barry @VikkiBarryOT It all depends on what the persons Occupational needs are. If discharge planning relates to their occupational goal then it’s definitely our job! The occupational perspective is what drives our thinking and intervention #OTalk https://t.co/1uHHXHLHcs |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach Occupations are the activities that we need, want, and have to do. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_rach 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 |

| Amie Jayne @Amie_OT @OT_rach Yes, depending on the person and their level of understanding my own definition is tailored and sometimes simplified. At the time it feels useful but not 100% if that takes away from the professional definition/professional identity, if that makes sense? #OTalk |

| Ele OT @eleanorramsell @BillWongOT @VikkiBarryOT I was thinking the same - sometimes OT language can sound a bit "jargonny" outside of the profession, and the need to be understood by all can overrule. It might also make our role better understood if they can understand our language #OTalk |

 | Linda Agnew @LindaAgnew2 @OTalk_ If you’re customising your explanation of OT to the person, it follows that you focus on occupations that are relevant to them and outcomes they want and need to achieve.
