@D_MARSDEN_OT Use existing avenues and budge your way in. For example, that may mean talking to a special needs non profit about #valueofOT. #otalk

Hi #OTalk-ers! Trying to keep an eye on tonight's talk whilst doing housework!

@D_MARSDEN_OT Look for opportunities to develop mutually beneficial partnerships #OTalk

@HumbyW @D_MARSDEN_OT @GillyGorry Well you just just tweeted so that's great!! Include #otalk to be sure your tweets show in chat. Message if you need help.

@D_MARSDEN_OT In older adults mental health in my area we do lots of referrals to, and sometimes joint visits with, the fire service #OTalk

@Lauren_OT @D_MARSDEN_OT @nottsfire In the US, I feel we are lagging a little behind. But the UK model can be used as reference points for OT's. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_LisaB @kirstyOT @D_MARSDEN_OT In the US, perhaps it is also opportunity for geriatrics home health. Avoiding falls is 1 thing, but having escape plans is another. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@NorwoodThreads @D_MARSDEN_OT I feel that's more indirect with my setting in the US. That only applies to sometimes small % of patients who want to return home. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@NorwoodThreads @D_MARSDEN_OT Lower levels of care don't usually count since board and care or assisted living is another entity sometimes. #otalk

@OT_Bret @D_MARSDEN_OT Great idea! I think the trick is how to fit it in jam packed curriculums. Every week is premium in 2 year programs in US. #otalk

Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant
@D_MARSDEN_OT @BillWongOT @Lauren_OT @nottsfire My role emerging started the same day as the new H&WB axs - my OT skills were a perfect complement to their new way of working #OTalk
Helen Willis @HumbyW
@OT_Bret @OTalk_ @D_MARSDEN_OT #otalk fire service placement sounds interesting....I hadn't considered how OT's could be useful in working with the fire service
Louise πŸ’™ @NorwoodThreads
@BillWongOT @D_MARSDEN_OT Yeah, it was only a small % of my pts from that setting too, tho I'm on rotation so only there 6 mths. Not sure abt overall numbers #OTalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@NorwoodThreads @D_MARSDEN_OT But now with my transfer, I would say zilch of my work will involve this... as it is a psych building for a nursing home. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@D_MARSDEN_OT @NorwoodThreads But if you know the patient is a long term resident at these nursing homes, it will be auto skip. #otalk

@D_MARSDEN_OT Fall prevention if you are talking about the elderly. Next in line will be making sure they know how to ask for help! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @kirstyOT:
Helen Willis @HumbyW
@OTalk_ #otalk I think the referral system works pretty well. I'm sure we could ask all the patients we see if they want a referral!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@D_MARSDEN_OT The latter can be orientation to their life alert system, or education on certain features at their homes. #otalk

@LaurenWalkerOT @D_MARSDEN_OT Yes- with elderly, dementia is huge factor! #otalk
Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant
@walesby_kim @D_MARSDEN_OT @BillWongOT @Lauren_OT @nottsfire I agree. Felt I was applying and practice the core values of occupational therapy #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@D_MARSDEN_OT @NorwoodThreads I skip because in these nursing homes, there are always nurses on duty. They will be first line of response. #otalk

@D_MARSDEN_OT Involving carers/family for those with a cognitive impairment who may not grasp risks they're experiencing #OTalk

Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant
@kirstyOT @D_MARSDEN_OT I agree!The most important thing we can do is ensure those who are vulnerable or at risk are identified to keep them and others safe #OTalk

Louise πŸ’™ @NorwoodThreads
@SensationalOT @walesby_kim I'm doing lots of kitchen assessments at the moment for patients at risk of this kind of thing! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
I know about this incident because I shared because I heard from co workers who ended up leaving that building. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_Bret @D_MARSDEN_OT You can be a pioneer and do some sales pitches! #otalk

Nursing home setting in US... not as much. May save it for the home health folks. #otalk https://t.co/sGCZxlvuLx
Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant
@OT_LisaB @kirstyOT @D_MARSDEN_OT I think this is something I am interested to know whether it takes places in the sight loss sector! #otalk
Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant
@D_MARSDEN_OT @BillWongOT @OT_LisaB @kirstyOT @breeze_paula Again this is another important factor in sight loss - higher risk of falls and potential for increased risk of fire #valueofot #otalk

@D_MARSDEN_OT Me given I am in a forensic setting sort of... being on the lookout for high risk residents! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@D_MARSDEN_OT And that population is tough because they have a good bit of psych issues while being relatively ambulatory. #otalk

Hello sorry late to this chat. Will be raising this in our curriculum @HSciences Southampton interesting ideas #OTalk

@LaurenWalkerOT @D_MARSDEN_OT Thanks so much for the link! #OTalk
Carrie Sant OT @carrie_sant
@D_MARSDEN_OT I have already incorporated a specific safety aspect into my ax and can look to make sure I raise fire risk whenever I ax #otalk
Louise @oomooeatingcake
#otalk @LucyOTL Great idea re joint visits.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@D_MARSDEN_OT Basically what I mean is- making sure no resident can bring lit cigarettes back to their rooms or other indoor common areas! #otalk
