 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Good evening alll... it's time for #OTalk.... this evening we will be hosted by Tori [REDACTED USER] ... who is joining us? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This evening #OTalk will be discussing The Vona du Toit Model of Creative Ability [REDACTED USER] https://t.co/tgcMo1EIaT |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk *** House Rules*** & Don't forget the #OTalk https://t.co/NwR1kRrpDy |
 | Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] I’m here! Although my first OTalk so please bear with me :) #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ opps... #OTalk https://t.co/ifgxwT160g |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @lawrence89_j [REDACTED USER] Welcome, feel free to ask any questions... enjoy #OTalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello peeps! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 1....... |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 2..... |
| Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j [REDACTED USER] I came across VdTMoCA on my final placement in a high secure setting. It was so different to any other model I had used in other placements. For me, it just made sense and made the OT role so much clearer - so much so I returned to the service when I qualified #OTalk #VdTMoCA |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I am in the US- my challenge actually comes from not having a consistent workplace. So it is not easy to apply even if I know the framework. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thank you.... #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] It is a lot of moving around. So my day-to-day workplace is often inconsistent. #otalk |
| @gemOT18 #OTalk I’m late to the party and not used this model so will be lurking and absorbing all the info! | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 3... |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] This highlights my challenge- constant changes to my workplaces means I don’t see patients on a consistent basis. For me at my work, getting my patients to work with me is the battle I face constantly because of it. #otalk |
 | Angela Smith @AngelaS20044709 @OTalk_ #OTalk I work in a private NHS overspill acute mental health ward, across both male and female wards. I've found the practice manual a valuable resource, informing group protocols and how to grade activities to ensure the patients progress. |
| Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j [REDACTED USER] Getting the MDT on board...implementing the model meant a huge change in our OT timetable. We invested time/effort into educating others about the model and demonstrating the model’s effectiveness through case studies etc. #OTalk #VdTMoCA @OTalk_ |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] If I answer it from US context, I would say the upcoming Medicare changes could actually foster more of such opportunities overall for OT profession because groups will be more popular. #otalk |
| Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j [REDACTED USER] OT sessions are more specific to OPAs. Raised the profile of OT within the hospital - other professions are starting to understand that we use activity to treat patients, not just to keep them busy!! #OTalk #VdTMoCA @OTalk_ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 4 I think? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I work in nursing home setting in the US, aka skilled nursing facilities. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Unfortunately it is a lot of putting up with what the company needs. So it is beyond my control at this point. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 4...... |
| Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j [REDACTED USER] 100% seeing positive changes in our patients. Seeing people who have not engaged in OT for years, engage and enjoy OT sessions. Seeing them progress, gaining confidence in their abilities, which ultimately helps them move on #OTalk #VdTMoCA @OTalk_ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 5....... |
| Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j @OTalk_ I’m sure [REDACTED USER] will explain this better but...collecting data for a service evaluation to prove the model’s effectiveness. Am due to present this (along with case study) to the clinical team next Tuesday! #OTalk #VdTMoCA |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Not sure on that one for me- but one thing I will definitely try perhaps when there is a group setting in the future- perhaps an origami group. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 6... |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] True- but when your day to day workplaces can be different, and sometimes going to multiple places a day... this makes implementing a challenge for me. #otalk |
| Joanna Lawrence @lawrence89_j [REDACTED USER] Treatment principles are useful in planning interventions - the model doesn’t prescribe specific activities but provides guidance on how to create an environment where an individual can reach their full potential and progress to the next level of creative ability #OTalk #VdTMoCA |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @lawrence89_j: [REDACTED USER] Treatment principles are useful in planning interventions - the model doesn’t prescribe specific activities b… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] And another challenge with my work setting- even if you are at a facility for a consistent basis, you don’t necessarily see the same patients every day, especially if it is a big nursing home. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 7... |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wowzer... time has flown by, final 5 mins of the official #OTalk hour.... What are you take away thoughts? and / or What are your #CPD goals as follow on from the chat? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I will have to wait until the smoke clears with the new Medicare changes in the USA first before seeing if this model is viable for me to use. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] More groups can be a more constructive environment for me to use the model on paper. But if my workplaces still change constantly, it is hard for me to implement. #otalk |
| @gemOT18 @OTalk_ As I’ve not used this model I’m interesting in learning more about its evidence with older people with mental health needs... so some investigating for me! #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Yeah- this is a change that nobody knows the real impact yet on my work setting until it hits. So there are a lot of speculations of what might happen, but won’t truly know until October 1. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Well that's the hour up! #OTalk Thank you everyone for such a great chat, but especially to [REDACTED USER] for hosting this evenings chat, great topic. Do keep chatting, we don't add the transcript to the blog for at least 24hrs. |
