RT @OTalk_: Lets get started with question 1: Lets get started with question 1: Do you engage with or participate in any occupations that may not be deemed as “age appropriate”? In addition to #Lego building I (@Kirstie_OT) also play @PokemonGoApp. #OTalk https://t.co/m4X2cJvvGa

@OTSophie Well- I don’t want to be jet lagged too much when I return. I have to work Saturday... lol! It’s in the low to mid 30’s literally every day + high humidity! #otalk

@AideenKa Hi Aideen! #OTalk

@OTSophie In my regular work setting, I know I am responsible for reporting any elder related abuse if I see one. There are guidelines on how soon I need to report such, depending on the case. #otalk

@mileswashbrook Hi Miles! Remember to write #OTalk at the end of your tweets so that people who are following the chat by searching the hashtag can see it 🙂

@OTSophie Fortunately not really! But it is important for me to know because just in case the nursing home is in annual surveys (when state surveyors come), it is ALWAYS a good idea to come up with the responses quickly! #otalk

@OTSophie @AideenKa @OTalk_ So I work predominantly in A&E and working with elderly and have been involved in raising a few safeguarding situations interesting to complete and you know that you are protecting that person. #OTalk

@OTSophie @AideenKa @OTalk_ So we can loads with our safeguarding team to see the progress. But often it is then passed to the social work team who then will investigate it further. #OTalk

And of course now I am also in academia, it is also important to safeguard students’ academic related information! #OTalk

@OTSophie In terms of nursing home, this is actually a collaborative effort between different disciplines. So we actually have to be cohesive so that we can ensure every resident has good quality of life. #otalk
Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989
@SadieBlueOT @OTalk_ @OTSophie I don't think uni prepare you for what safeguarding is actually. First time you complete one is a scary experience I think #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And as for being an academic now also, safeguarding is important because you sometimes have to balance between trying to help the student vs. protecting the student. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@ezzybezzy1989 @SadieBlueOT @OTalk_ @OTSophie I think I learned the very basics of it in uni. But placements are the places where we see real-life applications for the first time. #otalk

RT @SadieBlueOT:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTSophie @ezzybezzy1989 @SadieBlueOT @OTalk_ I think looking back, this is very indirect. It is deeper level stuff that we may look back and realize, “Hey! This is safeguarding.” #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTSophie @ezzybezzy1989 @SadieBlueOT @OTalk_ I think maybe these could be opportunities for students to ask such questions to their placement educators? #otalk

Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989
@OTSophie @SadieBlueOT @OTalk_ I think it is. Safeguarding is so complex and you won't understand it in 1 form that's completed #OTalk
Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989
@OTSophie Safeguarding makes it difficult at times as you sometimes do have to go against what the patient wants making rappor difficult. #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @Tori_Doll_:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTSophie Yes- because we are supposed to do no harm... and this includes not putting patients at risk, including being abused. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 3! "Is this part of the OT role?" always an interesting question... 🤔#OTalk

@OTalk_ I think we need to remember it's part of all our roles. We need to have an understanding of the importance of safeguarding and be able to act upon issues that arise #OTalk

@OTSophie And as for myself also now being an educator, it is my job to make sure I don’t put students in unnecessarily and potentially harmful situations. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
That's a great point, Kate! Maybe this is a situation where we shouldn't think of ourselves just in terms of being OTs but as part of a wider MDT? #OTalk
Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989
People are worried what it means. I think safeguarding can be so confusing though for those putting in the referral and those in need of it too. #OTalk

Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989
So true. I think we need to remember it's not just OTs who do it. Many healthcare professionals do #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SadieBlueOT @Lauren_OT @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ @OTSophie Perhaps we can put that in a so-called ethical dilemmas class... or when students doing debriefing halfway through their placements that are vital for their licensure. #otalk

It's difficult I think it's gaining there trust. And explain the reason why. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This is an interesting way of looking at it; what do you think is the individual role of OT in safeguarding (as opposed to the role of other team members)? #OTalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
We're coming to the end of today's #OTalk! It's been a really interesting chat tonight; lots to think about regarding how we're taught about safeguarding and how we "do" safeguarding in a way that fits with our roles as OTs
