| Gemma P @gemOT18 @OT_rach 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! @OT_rach its over to you! #OTalk https://t.co/CBKa0x285M |
| Gemma P @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 |
| #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💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| 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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| 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 |
| Gemma P @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: |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach #otalk sorry! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk You can check out the @theRCOT strategic intentions & supporting info via the link https://t.co/YviL7pC2zj |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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: |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach Similar conversations where we work but we must keep going with it to move forward #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| 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 |
| #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: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Pretty much what I said too! =] #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 & diverse practice. Starting with my own work in the assistance dog/dog training sector #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @julieannelowe1 @OT_rach We will let you off this once... wouldnt want to scare you off again 😉 #OTALK |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @VikkiBarryOT: |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 RT @OT_rach: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_rach: |
| 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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, matching families etc, sounds so interesting! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_rach: |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach Good question, is there a system in place for that at the moment where electronic notes are kept? #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT @OT_rach Cool, do you have the reference for that? #OTalk |
| Gemma P @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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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: |
| 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💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @orlatheot @OT_rach I'll have to dig it out tomorrow, it's on my desk at work! #OTalk |
| 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 |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @KimWillisOT: |
| 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💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| Orla @orlatheot @Amie_OT @OT_rach Thanks 😊 #OTalk |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @OT_rach Very true! Some would say that’s for the better #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTBartlett: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ForensicDetail: |
| 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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @ForensicDetail @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 Do it, I'll give it a go =] #OTalk |
| Gemma P @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💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Ruth_Hawley I would have loved more focus on using technology and how it can be adapted for healthcare #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @julieannelowe1: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SarahInnes16: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @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 |
| 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 |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach Occupations are the activities that we need, want, and have to do. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @SarahInnes16: |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @OTBartlett: |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @OTBartlett @VikkiBarryOT I always think that’s a great place to start and I always talk about engaging in activities that are meaningful to you #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @preston_jenny Haha. Have you been sending him to school with @theRCOT pens?? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @Ruth_Hawley I would have loved more focus on using technology and how it can be adapted for healthcare #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @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 😂😂 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @orlatheot: @OT_rach Occupations are the activities that we need, want, and have to do. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_rach For me, an occupation is a piece of doing, it may be for self-care, to be productive or for leisure, being able to engage in occupations has influence on physical and mental health and is core to the occupational therapy profession #OTalk |
 | CatherineGreenlaw @c__greenlaw RT @OTBartlett: |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Now there’s a missed opportunity #OTalk https://t.co/8yvY4dJhvj |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @ForensicDetail @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 Brilliant, I shall start thinking of what to write #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Lauren_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @OT_rach For me, an occupation is a piece of doing, it may be for self-care, to be productive or for leisure, being able to engage in occupations has influence on physical and mental health and is core to the occupational therapy profession #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Ruth_Hawley I say that but haven't read it just yet! #OTalk |
 | Occupational Therapy @SETAcuteOT RT @RCOTNIreland: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question three...#OTalk https://t.co/VM3zlImgD6 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Lauren_OT @parrkers @OT_rach 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 |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 Really like this definition! #OTalk https://t.co/Mn5LjCUkvN |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Too true, my nana has had so many different people involved in her care, she's 92 and just calls everyone 'her girls'. It get's very confusing trying to work out who has seen her #OTalk |
| CatherineGreenlaw @c__greenlaw RT @julieannelowe1: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colourful_ot @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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Ruth_Hawley @theRCOT I like the sound of that, even more tech focused occupation stations would be brilliant! #OTalk |
 | Mabel @girllikemabel RT @SarahInnes16: |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @orlatheot: @OT_rach Occupations are the activities that we need, want, and have to do. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget those hashtags people #OTalk https://t.co/srht9cLvkD |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @Ruth_Hawley @theRCOT I like the sound of that, even more tech focused occupation stations would be brilliant! #OTalk |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @julieannelowe1: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @eleanorramsell @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 I think it's good to tailor what you are saying to the individual you're working with, it gives it more meaning and hopefully helps them to remember what you are saying #OTalk |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @Amie_OT: @OT_rach For me, an occupation is a piece of doing, it may be for self-care, to be productive or for leisure, being able to engage in occupations has influence on physical and mental health and is core to the occupational therapy profession #OTalk |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @OTalk_ I use case examples to colleagues as stories are more memorable #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ForensicDetail I spotty that cheeky add of the hash tag missy 😉 #OTalk |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @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 |

| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Absolutely still fits the bill @ForensicDetail #OTalk https://t.co/as8F3tjFb9 |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @ForensicDetail Perfect! I have lots of reading to do after my first #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_rach Yes, in the case that a service users family can understand who to turn to, but in a 92 year old with cognitive decline, from experience with my nana, it's more important she knows there is a team there for her and we all work together to give her the best care #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_rach And also our community partners too. They can be the ones that provide us avenues to enhance their services. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_rach But I may be a little biased #OTalk |
 | @Caroline2018 @student_ot @OT_rach Things that bring value to our lives. Things that we do everyday that are meaningful and shape who we are.#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 |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny The things you need, want and have to do as part of your everyday life #OTalk https://t.co/WhmNk4PIrA |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ForensicDetail #SadMac 😂 #OTalk |
| Occupational Therapy @SETAcuteOT @OT_rach We are delighted with @theRCOT strategic intentions as they support us in asking about #occupations such as work and leisure. They are the driver of every assessment we complete #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @student_ot: @OT_rach Things that bring value to our lives. Things that we do everyday that are meaningful and shape who we are.#OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Half way through tonights chat! Super busy tonight but great to see so many newbies out there giving #OTalk a go! |

| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @VikkiBarryOT @gemOT18 @OTalk_ I'm speaking to college students next week to talk to them about the 'hidden career' of occupational therapy, hopefully I will help light their eyes up too #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @VikkiBarryOT To a mass audience, though, it is better to err on the side of easier language. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @LindaAgnew2 Im impressed with my memory there! #OTalk A perfect example of #HelloMyNameIs as well 👍🏼 |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @colourful_ot @Ruth_Hawley @theRCOT Sounds brilliant, @Kirstie_OT and I spent a while at conference talking about Pokemon Go as an occupation and the value in communities that have come from the game! It's something I would love to look into more! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @VikkiBarryOT @gemOT18 @OTalk_ I'm speaking to college students next week to talk to them about the 'hidden career' of occupational therapy, hopefully I will help light their eyes up too #OTalk |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @Amie_OT @VikkiBarryOT @OTalk_ Sounds great Amie let us know how it goes #OTpromotion #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @cathymc9781 Welcome aboard Catherine! Add the #OTalk hashtag into your tweets to join in 👍🏼 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @VikkiBarryOT @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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @VikkiBarryOT @gemOT18 @OTalk_ Sometimes, I feel it's the cases and human touch to an explanation that really help others understand and in some cases catch the occupational therapy bug =] #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question four... #OTalk https://t.co/wHstusMt6F |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @VikkiBarryOT @gemOT18 @OTalk_ Sometimes, I feel it's the cases and human touch to an explanation that really help others understand and in some cases catch the occupational therapy bug =] #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @ForensicDetail Dont we all! Strawberry for me please! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @julieannelowe1: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I've had that on placements, my favourite one was someone asking why I was a physio with green trousers and was it because the others were 'better than me' and I wasn't as experienced #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Amie_OT: @VikkiBarryOT @gemOT18 @OTalk_ Sometimes, I feel it's the cases and human touch to an explanation that really help others understand and in some cases catch the occupational therapy bug =] #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @julieannelowe1 @OT_rach I love hearing this topic... don’t feel it is discussed in US as much. #otalk |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @julieannelowe1: |

| Orla @orlatheot RT @KimWillisOT: |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @Amie_OT @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I hope you set them straight!! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Heading into the last 15 minutes with @OT_rach. Some great points & ideas going on! #OTalk https://t.co/cMJblzF0qs |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @eleanorramsell @VikkiBarryOT 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @FeHOT_KOP: |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OT_south: |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Ruth_Hawley @colourful_ot @theRCOT I love the concept of dark occupations and too true, gaming is a really interesting topic and I've become increasingly more interested in how pokemon go has created communities and networks and more social outlets in my area then the pub #OTalk |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach 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 @OT_rach Absolutely agree, must be driven by the person #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FeHOT_KOP @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_ @Amie_OT @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I (@Kirstie_OT) 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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I did, with my best smile and actually had them the next day call me the occupation lady #OTalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach @Kirstie_OT Haha that's brilliant, I just took to explaining that there was a difference, I used the 'a physio will get you walking, but will you walk down that corridor naked? no, an occupational therapist will help you get dressed' and explained it further in terms of ADLs #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @gemOT18: @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Absolutely. Being patient centred and explaining that activities and occupations are used for treatment. Explaining the value of occupation #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @Ruth_Hawley @colourful_ot @theRCOT I love the concept of dark occupations and too true, gaming is a really interesting topic and I've become increasingly more interested in how pokemon go has created communities and networks and more social outlets in my area then the pub #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_south: |
| @Caroline2018 @student_ot @OTalk_ Perhaps working together with people we care for, identifying their needs and understanding what is meaningful to them to enable participation .Not forgetting contextual factors which can influence participation #OTalk |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Love this! New twitter name?! #OTalk |

| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @OTalk_: @Amie_OT @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I (@Kirstie_OT) 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 @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach 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 |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @gemOT18 @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I may have to do it! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question five... #OTalk https://t.co/AEVJ8iV4A5 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I've never actually asked other professions but I would imagine it would happen for smaller professions. I think nurses are easier to spot but more of the dieticians etc #OTalk |
| Gemma P @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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTBartlett @OTalk_ @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach @Kirstie_OT Interesting thought! Maybe start a movement? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Ooooo. Thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/LrdBrazoQ3 |
| Mabel @girllikemabel RT @Amie_OT: @OTalk_ @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @OT_rach @Kirstie_OT Haha that's brilliant, I just took to explaining that there was a difference, I used the 'a physio will get you walking, but will you walk down that corridor naked? no, an occupational therapist will help you get dressed' and explained it further in terms of ADLs #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @Ruth_Hawley @colourful_ot @theRCOT I didn't play it a lot before but picked it up again this year and use it while travelling on visits and have become part of the local pokemon go community, we all meet up and go pokemon hunting together, really enjoy it. I now talk to people I live near! #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @julieannelowe1: |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @OT_rach 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 @Amie_OT @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach 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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_rach @OTalk_ @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @Kirstie_OT Well, if you choose to join #NakedWalkers that's up to you #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @julieannelowe1: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_rach 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_ @Amie_OT @OT_rach @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @Kirstie_OT Hahahaha. This chat took a strange direction! #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_rach Well, in general if you see someone in a dark blue uniform you think of nurse. I think it's more of a recognisable profession, although there are different areas of nursing and I wouldn't imagine I know all of them #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I didn't realise that, it must be confusing no? #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ @OT_rach @Suze17 @preston_jenny @KimWillisOT @Kirstie_OT haha! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @ForensicDetail: |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @julieannelowe1 @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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OT_rach For me, it's talking about occupation, in clinical practice I would imagine it's about remembering to keep occupations at the core and remember why I am doing particular sessions / tasks / assesments #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 @ForensicDetail bringing back the “Define OT in a tweet” challenge! #OTalk https://t.co/B1NYEnzxN6 |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @Amie_OT @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Yes very confusing for everyone!#OTalk. However it serves as a reminder that we are not always defined by what colour we wear. |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @OTEllenC @KimWillisOT @OT_rach I had forgotten this, thank you for reminding me of it, I feel like I need it stuck on my wall! #OTalk |
| 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 |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Very true! I am very used to looking out for particular colours to represent different professions in England #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last question to wrap up tonights #OTalk chat. What is your #OTpledge? https://t.co/LyWaNfGyLa |
| Gemma P @gemOT18 @Amie_OT @OTEllenC @KimWillisOT @OT_rach Love a quote. Tomorrow’s task for me too to print this! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @FeHOT_KOP: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OTEllenC: @KimWillisOT @Amie_OT @OT_rach To quote Mary Reilly (1962): |
| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @colourful_ot @preston_jenny @Suze17 @KimWillisOT @OT_rach In that case do we worry about it more than other professions do? And is it necessary to worry about people getting out name right? #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @OT_rach Remain occupation-focused on my role-emerging placement in substance abuse rehabilitation 😁 #OTalk |

| Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️🌈 @Amie_OT @eleanorramsell @OTalk_ I think there's always a challenging line between what we should facilitate or not, e.g. smoking, graffiti art. #OTalk |
