#OTalk @OTalk_

#OTalk @OTalk_
evening #OTAlk I wasn't lucky enough to attend, but have enjoyed the tweets discussing- Diverse OT Settings, not diverse role. thoughts?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello folks! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Diverse settings for OTs not diverse roles, occupation centered #otalk https://t.co/TcD9L0gCa3
#OTalk @OTalk_
Personally speaking GillyGorry my Job title is a label, hasn't always reflected what I do. I am an OT and occupation is what I do #OTAlk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LucyOTL I think I spent 8 hours combined yesterday and today on this. 😝 #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] are there other services targeting these areas? how do we justify OT role and how its different #otalk ?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] We definitely are not doing it hard enough. In some, it may only be because of other reasons as well. (E.g. Fall) #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] I think we are increasingly in other areas, had to develop. also I find many don't know they've had and OT visit before #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
so how do we do this? what do we think of the RCOT advice to call yourself and occupational therapist not OT? I always use full title #otalk https://t.co/vGawOgH69v
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I was there the last 2 years. This year I did not attend. Seems like nothing much is lost based on change in format. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
How has (or has it/not) social media enhanced your engagement with #rcot2017 #otalk https://t.co/YJBJByqSUD
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LucyOTL Have to prepare for the Canadian one starting tomorrow. Will really be exhausted if I have to go both! #otalk
kags76 ❤️🧡💛🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶 @kagz76
#OTAlk I just wanted to say thank q to all the posters bring tweeted I'm snaffling them all up :)
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Like some other countries- such as Croatia? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I do think Chinese can use a new one. 3 possible translations (depending which Chinese speaking country are you in) is confusing! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] welcome Holli! #OTAlk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL Well... I think logistically might be close to impossible. I neee a private jet... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ No... it has to do with where you are... unfortunately. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] I think the aim is to promote the profession more. I find full title initiates the "whats that? conversation more" #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ That is why if I see Chinese speaking patients, first question I always ask is where are they from? Cue for using right translation. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I think from my POV, what is the happy medium for all of us? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Like while I understand criticism for me that I tweet too much, I dish back the reverse to some OT's. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Actually it's the same for PT and SLP from what I know. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I work in community and mostly legal work and find the majority of people already know how fab OT is and don't need full explanation #otalk https://t.co/pLNjLBo8fV
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I do this A LOT... so much so that I really abuse Twitter. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I always have a problem of "limit reached... you can't follow more people". #otalk
kags76 ❤️🧡💛🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶 @kagz76
#OTAlk I love that we are therapists it conjures up an image of harmony
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Like out of the 8500 followers I have, probably about 25-30% were connected through conference hashtags. #otalk
kags76 ❤️🧡💛🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶 @kagz76
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #Otalk we call it prudent healthcare
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Actually Twitter is more of a ratio thing. I have to do a good bit of cleaning up before conferences. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Now for a controversial topic.... what do we think of the capita sponsorship? #notwhatitrainedfor #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ No- what I meant was... it's same translation I think with different Chinese countries... as long as you are mindful of what u speak. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @karen_geraghty: #OTAlk I love that we are therapists it conjures up an image of harmony
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ It's almost like sports... where sometimes gambling companies are sponsoring major events. I think it sparks controversy. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] And also don't forget conference proposals too! Character limits are killers! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ When I do TED Talks, I use occupational therapy practitioners- since our assistants are also qualified practitioners. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
shameless endorsement of our very own Kelly!! go check out her super poster!! #OTAlk https://t.co/rCx7blngfI
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ When I am in clinical setting, I will spell out the first time when encountering patients or families. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Starting tomorrow you have more catch up! Canadian is tomorrow. So you will wake up Thursday morning seeing tweets! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Next month I am doing Australian too. I like checking off an item on my professional bucket list. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Couple of capita objection tweets #notwhatitrainedfor did we train to assess people for disability benefits within standard proforma? #otalk https://t.co/cJ4RSWIb5b
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I know in US schools, we do too! That can be confusing! #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Well done to the #OTalk blog squad, you have done an amazing job. Almost felt like I was actually at #COT2017 #wellinformed https://t.co/JeRUVk633Z

RT @preston_jenny: Well done to the #OTalk blog squad, you have done an amazing job. Almost felt like I was actually at #COT2017
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @EllenChisman [REDACTED USER] On TED talk bios, I always spell them out! Last thing I want is confusion with potential people watching on YouTube. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
RT @OTalk_: We are looking forward to it!! #otalk #cot2017 https://t.co/weSuu72bKY
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I submitted abstracts. But now hearing a lot about costs, I need to sort this out seriously later this year. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Not many newer practitioners do that... but I pave my own way. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Can our profession have more of me, please? 😂 #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
only CPD if we learn something, do something with it. what will you do with your new learning from #RCOT2017 ? how will you record it #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Or in my case- growing my global social media empire. 😈#otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think what I do on social media can be really misleading for people who don't know me personally. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ It's almost like I play a game that many OT's are not too familiar... even though it can work well. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes- a month ago. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ I think it's antithesis of what we encourage clients to do. We are afraid to take risks on social media. #otalk
Orla @orlatheot
@OTalk_ It allowed me to network before and during the conference which was great as it was my first conference and I was going alone #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ Many of us are afraid of potential backlashes when we say things that others think we shouldn't say. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think I am the most unorthodox OT social media wise to most people. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ I am afraid of them too. Recently I hear some complaints w/ my tweets. Makes me mad, but understanding where they come from. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@orlatheot @OTalk_ I feel that the culture is strong in national conferences... regionally is a mixed bag. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I agree, opening things up for debate its how we move things forward #otalk https://t.co/qZfefJGuM2

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@orlatheot @OTalk_ And I am not afraid to speak my mind on this- maybe it is because regionally OT's don't see value as much. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
other places to do it are available... #otalk https://t.co/pPRZcffbuF
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ And here we do have some regular media club session- albeit it is now me doing it almost always... and using TED talks. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
we are coming to a close #otalk any final thoughts? you can of course continue to tweet with the tag for 24 hours
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LucyOTL @pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Yes- choice is important. I think we just have to be careful if we indicate anywhere on profiles that we are students/practitioners #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LucyOTL @pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ A lot of times, I see people indicate they are OT's, but all they put are Fitbit data and horoscope. #otalk
@LynneGoodacre
Thanks @preston_jenny still a few more posts being written on journeys home so keep an eye out tomorrow #Cot2017 @RCOT #OTAlk https://t.co/uJd7RAW1yl
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ And speaking of debates- I think sometimes if you can keep it in control, starting some on social media can be fruitful. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle @LucyOTL [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ If I am a member of general public, I won't think these accounts are useful in finding information about OT. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle @LucyOTL [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Constant venting can also make our profession look bad, IMO. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ Like my social media usage, I want to hear sound reasons on why I should improve rather than just complaints. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] I think we occasionally can speak our minds, but we have to be ready to hear dissonance voices! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ I think when you tag on leadership stuff to your plate... all of a sudden the stakes are higher on social media. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ Like me taking on an AOTA position, all of a sudden people pay more attention to my views and offer comments. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ And because my views can be on the liberal side or too forward thinking, some people can't take it! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ And I am also less free to speak my mind. #otalk

@pixiegirle [REDACTED USER] @LucyOTL @OTalk_ As I learned over the years, sometimes those identities don't mash well in OT social media. #otalk
