| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @timdockerty82: #OTalk I am a first year student who is about do my case study presentation, I am in a mental health unit for eating di… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @timdockerty82 Hi Tim, questions like that are best at the end off the discussion. We need to focus on the questions. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I am lurking too because it seems like an UK only topic. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ It’s a uk act of Parliament yes, but I’m sure there will be things to pick up on. #OTalk https://t.co/jM8eDpD6vf |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @shilyOT [REDACTED USER] Generic assessment anyone in the team can? Or always done by OT? #OTalk |
 | Orla @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] It played a big factor in my communities learning disabilities placement, it was essential reading. Every adult must be assumed to have capacity unless it is proved otherwise. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] This means that you cannot assume that someone cannot make a decision for themselves just because they have a particular medical condition or disability #OTalk |
| @gemOT18 #OTalk I’m late to the chat so will try and catch up on MCA chat... | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Do people tonight feel they have an awareness? Or is more training needed. #OTalk https://t.co/dYHqKzl24Y |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] In the US... we have something called conservatorship. It is for those who don’t have cognitive capacity to represent themselves. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @shilyOT [REDACTED USER] How is this documented? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @orlatheot: [REDACTED USER] This means that you cannot assume that someone cannot make a decision for themselves just because they have… |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] #OTalk MCA affects my practice to be able to consider its principles in daily work with older people with MH needs inc dementia. We consider capacity on a daily basis but need to improve on formal assessments. | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @orlatheot Yes... I believe so. I seen that in mental health and occasionally at my work setting in nursing homes too. #otalk |
| @gemOT18 @OTalk_ I often feel I don’t have the skills to assess capacity and often consider an MDT approach #OTalk | |
| @gemOT18 @BillWongOT @orlatheot [REDACTED USER] It does sound like something similar to what we have in the UK 🇬🇧 #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Yes I would agree ([REDACTED USER]) it’s done within the MDT? Need more understanding training #OTalk https://t.co/wn1SkIglAK |
 | Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1 Integral part of our practice in stroke rehab from identifying capacity to be in hospital and consent to treatment to capacity regarding discharge destination. whole MDT are able to complete assessments - initially band 6's and 7's now extended to band 5's #OTalk https://t.co/rzSEmnKD1L |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In the nursing home setting can be like smoking. Not all of us agree, but that can be meaningful social occupation for them. #otalk |
| @gemOT18 @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Think it’s often my confidence with the assessment but when I know a patient well and understand the nature of the decision to be made then actually it makes it easier #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks for Joining us [REDACTED USER] you need to include the # so people can see your tweet, in the conversation, and transcript after. #OTalk https://t.co/jQqOj04d6N |
 | Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo [REDACTED USER] I am. I work with adults with learning disabilities. I lead on certain assessments and am part of others #OTalk |
| @gemOT18 @ClaireBellNYPOT @OTalk_ I’ve often thought about becoming a BIA but need to know more #OTalk | |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi @PaulaOtter1 thanks for joining us. #OTalk needs to be in all your tweets so people see what your saying and ends up on the transcript https://t.co/TooZ727fuI |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Completely agree its confidence and practicing with each case #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/5Sc1bF7UPV |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 😱 [REDACTED USER] forgetting the hashtag!!! #OTalk https://t.co/izsrmGeOZL |
| Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1 @gemOT18 @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] #otalk - yes absolutely. Important that the people who know person best are involved in the assessment. Also important assesssmenr is on more than one occasion and a different times of day. Patients can have fluctuating capacity and important to recognise this |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag #Otalk https://t.co/Ms5nmmb4Ei |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lots forgetting to include the # in their tweets if you miss it out, your tweet will not be seen, and it will not get on the transcript of conversation so don’t forget #OTalk IN ALL TWEETS.. https://t.co/MxpWJJxcSD |
| @gemOT18 @FlintoffHolly @ClaireBellNYPOT @OTalk_ Yes its Best interest assessor #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 🤗 #OTalk https://t.co/yNa4m0OZ4T |
| Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo @ClaireBellNYPOT @OTalk_ @shilyOT [REDACTED USER] Although every day care plans can cover regular acts of care such as choosing clothes. The Act recognises this #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think perhaps in the mental health portion is probably best. It will be a good idea to know a thing or two before going into such settings for placements. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTALK [REDACTED USER] You forgot the # https://t.co/nnVl05jjlu |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk https://t.co/qD8tEU46jz |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think that’s so important to remember that if it went to court it’s examined so we need to have confidence in the training we have to apply it in practice #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] don’t forget that Hashtag!! #OTALK https://t.co/HlZ1m2JQnt |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] Like the idea of having champions I might suggest this in our teams #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] In my setting, probably just informal testing. That info can be helpful for develop appropriate goals and plan of care. If I really want to do more during the course of plan of care to further my understanding of the patient, I can though. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi @iDashItAll - just one t in the hashtag. It’s #OTalk said O talk ( not OT talk). https://t.co/ouKNRUlar5 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] If it is the US equivalent, I am learning on the fly actually. Don’t have to deal with it that much in my setting. #otalk |
| Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1 Yes I am involved with MCA assessments.... we look at who is best placed in the team to complete an individual assessment. OT's often involved together with SALT as often a combination of aphasia and ⬇️cognition on our stroke unit #otalk https://t.co/XW0Hqu0f3Q |
| Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo [REDACTED USER] I am very confident due to my day to day work, additional training I have pursued and also keeping up to date with caselaw... although that can be confusing! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FlintoffHolly @PaulaOtter1 @gemOT18 @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] Thing is though- are they able to live at their home environments safely? #otalk |
| Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1 Yes there are IMCAs who will help but only if no family or friends willing to support patient and act in best interests if found to not have capacity regarding a specific decision #otalk https://t.co/DkKxhrLi8e |
| Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] There is also case law that says it’s not all about keeping people safe and so people who might lack capacity might also be supported to continue to make ‘unwise’ choices #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Over half way through our hour now. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great answer!! #OTalk every one will be different. Our assessment will help us determined this. https://t.co/zWGzHsdBN7 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk https://t.co/wEqddN5DDD |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] Assessments often go to the doctor or social worker. I’m in older peoples mental health & feel confident when I know a patient well and have been specific about what the decision is to assess capacity #OTalk | |
| Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes....One judge simply said that being happy was also important #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @iDashItAll Your getting the hashtag wrong just 1 T #OTalk |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] Not confident at all I’m afraid! I think I would be able to identify a situation where a DoLs needed to be applied for but unsure of all the process #OTalk | |
| Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1 Yes confident. We have good training in place. Our nursing team tend to complete the paperwork but this is changing as we are taking an improved MDT approach. Also important to talk about POA and check if this is in place and for which area - health/ wealth or both #otalk https://t.co/0hsQ3hNMv5 |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] Case study examples, further training and possibly following a case of a DoLs if it came up for me on my caseload (which in my current role isn’t v often). I def want to improve my learning after this discussion though #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @gemOT18: [REDACTED USER] Case study examples, further training and possibly following a case of a DoLs if it came up for me on my case… |
| Jo OT 💙 @LDOTJo [REDACTED USER] @gemOT18 @OTalk_ I read something once that said ‘it’s not an exam to pass’ it’s a discussion about a specific issue at a point in time - which is what we do well #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] That’s the magic phrase- so that students can learn in their mental health courses. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 the last one!! #OTalk https://t.co/66bcbdedmT |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/HlZ1m2JQnt |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] We are client centered and we have a holistic approach. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lots of hashtags there, but not the one that ensures the tweet is seen. Remember #OTalk in all tweets. https://t.co/yw6894cDdS |
| Paula Otter @PaulaOtter1 I think we have a great skill set in identifying the best way to structure the questions for individual patients . Knowing how to adapt your approach to elicit the best possible response is so important in identifying capacity in any given area #otalk https://t.co/K7uVXhqnxQ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wow time is going fast 10 mins left!! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That’s what I’m here for. #OTalk 🤓 https://t.co/IPRkrT38bu |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] Guess we have a lot to bring to these Ax. We have the skills to assess a patients level of function, maximise communication, being patient centred and allowing those unwise decisions by taking risks (positively of course!) #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Very important point!! #OTalk https://t.co/eog3BHm5LQ |
| @gemOT18 [REDACTED USER] No what is it? #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Everyone is welcome! #OTalk https://t.co/9at1DMwC9b |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 5mins left any finial thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/HPCaLUHVZU |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget the # #OTalk https://t.co/T1GrzO2PD3 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great to read!!!! #OTalk https://t.co/o1V4p7mBMz |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/7k7F0DcTbi |
| @gemOT18 @OTalk_ Really interesting topic tonight I have lots to take away. I often find that when someone does have capacity it can close some doors on accessing certain services. Know we need to support unwise decisions too #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Times up, can we Thank [REDACTED USER] for hosting tonight, great job!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #OTalk The transcript will be added to the blog for you to down load later in the week. https://t.co/nRryGC9yix |
