 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello crew! #otalk |
 | Adewale ⬜️⬛️ @francis_adewale RT @Helen_OTUK: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice Wherever you see the patient first. Sometimes their cognitive skills can tell a lot about their independence levels. #otalk |
 | Deborah Stevens @deborah30470136 @theotservice Definitely more than a transfer think - Posture/stability, independence with personal care #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice And when they walk and starting to do some stand -> sit and sit -> stand transfers, you can also get a sense. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChloeWoodleyOT @theotservice Lurking is not a bad idea. Always a good place to get some working tips. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice Right away if I am the evaluating therapist. We have to document and make goals if appropriate. #otalk |
 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Evening folks #OTalk, not sure what has happened... support seems to be delayed... so jumping in now! |
| Deborah Stevens @deborah30470136 I agree with @BillWong it is when they first start to move, how do they transfer onto the toilet, for me the majority are hoisted #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q1 #OTalk https://t.co/RK86cQbsgo |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk (don't forget the #OTalk Colin!) https://t.co/S6hFPjEv9e |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice Well- if I see patients who can at least do stand pivot transfers in my setting, I will address it. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @pjmasonOT @Deborah30470136 And of course we are dealing with almost 40 degrees heat right now in LA... patients need to drink lots of water! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @theotservice: |
 | Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre Yes and also socialisation, not leaving the home etc #OTalk https://t.co/etWolUUNxo |
 | CIAO Seminars @ciaoseminars Thousands of people & animals are in desperate need of help from #HurricaneHarvey. #SLPeeps #OTalk #PTlife https://t.co/3JQ5m9u0BU |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @pjmasonOT @Deborah30470136 In my setting- an additional element will be what type of liquids patient might be able to tolerate. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q2 #OTalk https://t.co/wYYEy7pZ8t |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LynneGoodacre: Yes and also socialisation, not leaving the home etc #OTalk https://t.co/etWolUUNxo |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice I think it's better to be safe than to be sorry. I don't take word of mouth from nursing. I want to see for myself. #otalk |
 | Sabrena McCarley @SabrenaMcCarley RT @ciaoseminars: Thousands of people & animals are in desperate need of help from #HurricaneHarvey. #SLPeeps #OTalk #PTlife https://t.co/3JQ5m9u0BU |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/3DUrRQMCYw |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChloeWoodleyOT @CeeCeeOT @OTalk_ And in my setting there is another factor- are patients comfortable sharing toilets with other people they don't know? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @FranSmartOT Don't forget the # so people can see #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @CharlDunkley: |
| Zoë @ot_zoe Joining the #otalk a bit late. Interested in the topic of toileting assessment after a placement in paediatrics recently |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Sorry @OT_rach here for support. And a bit late, thanks @Helen_OTUK #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @CharlDunkley Or sometimes- one patient might need a raised toilet seat and another one doesn't. How can they get along? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ChloeWoodleyOT: |
| Deborah Stevens @deborah30470136 @colinpgjones @theotservice If the assessment is carried out at an appropriate time eg during personal care it may be acceptable #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChloeWoodleyOT And of course traveling too. How can people get in and out of toilets inside airplanes? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChloeWoodleyOT Or- say if you are on a moving train. What would you do if you are someone with poor balance? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Deborah30470136: @colinpgjones @theotservice If the assessment is carried out at an appropriate time eg during personal care it may be acceptable #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @colinpgjones: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK @OT_rach #otalk https://t.co/4h6ohhcrWz |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @CharlDunkley Or sometimes in my setting, we have to coordinating with nursing about the toilet situations in these rooms. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ot_zoe @ChloeWoodleyOT Or at airplanes- what if they are all full! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk https://t.co/49ZEyMPQy4 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Or of course there is instance like this too- https://t.co/97wSnM4tNA #OTalk |
| Deborah Stevens @deborah30470136 Consent is always essential, therefore clients must understand why we want to assess #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice Yes- I think culture is also important to consider. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelCorrOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Deborah30470136: Consent is always essential, therefore clients must understand why we want to assess #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @pjmasonOT And of course there is a balance between that and safety. If someone is high fall risk, education is important. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @theotservice This can be difficult if you are not a regular therapist for the patient... which is often in my setting. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/WDusb3Clgn |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @NeuroOTsouth You need to us the # in all your tweets so others can see!! #OTalk |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre Agree totally & sometimes compromised by budgetary constraints in terms of what can/can't be provided #OTalk https://t.co/jGgXo2SvIf |
 | Danni Swaithe @NeuroOTsouth @theotservice Agree with all the above. It is important to observe, but if a person has capacity and declines, then we have to make a judgement #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LynneGoodacre: Agree totally & sometimes compromised by budgetary constraints in terms of what can/can't be provided #OTalk https://t.co/jGgXo2SvIf |
 | Ailsa Mulligan @ailsa_claire Am I the only one who thanks to the bank holiday forgot it was Tuesday? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @colinpgjones: |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre This was a massive prob. In rheumatology and a challenge to resolve well #OTAlk https://t.co/avK8gejX45 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @NeuroOTsouth @theotservice For someone with less than F standing balance, I am not comfortable closing the door when they are toileting #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @theotservice In our setting, we also have assistants too. Sometimes they come at various times of the day. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @NeuroOTsouth Yes- that is why I mentioned standing balance is one consideration. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @colinpgjones They would be assisting during the plan of care. #otalk |
| Danni Swaithe @NeuroOTsouth @theotservice Yes, and building that rapport& an understanding of why we want to observe usually leads to trust, and most people will then engage #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question no 4 #OTalk https://t.co/3gBGAxMRTg |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice If it's Chinese, we have words for #1 and #2. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice @colinpgjones Correct... as long as goals are present. #otalk |
| Ailsa Mulligan @ailsa_claire I agree I'm lucky I have to time to build rapport in my service! That lack of rapport is what I struggled with as a student #OTalk https://t.co/ooRE4Mlol0 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @theotservice: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT I do remember when I did my second TEDx... I did hint about toileting. #otalk |
 | Simone Coetzee @DrSimoneOT RT @LynneGoodacre: Agree totally & sometimes compromised by budgetary constraints in terms of what can/can't be provided #OTalk https://t.co/jGgXo2SvIf |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice Correct... we often refer that in the states. #otalk |
| Danni Swaithe @NeuroOTsouth @theotservice I do catch myself using this term with colleagues,but never with a patient. I don't like it tbh #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @theotservice But if you are in units with lots of dementia patients and/or other cognitive issues, you should make that choice for them. #otalk |
| Ailsa Mulligan @ailsa_claire @FranSmartOT @theotservice Agree I am my sis carer so grew up talking bout BM's etc so need to remind myself others find these discussions odd #OTalk |
| Danni Swaithe @NeuroOTsouth @theotservice It reminds me of bad practice in nh years ago when I was a carer,& residents where 'toileted' only at set times :( #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @theotservice In my place of work now, there are patients peeing on the gym floors! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @theotservice What term do people use? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice I think it depends. I would ask about if they have troubles going to toilet? If they say yes, I will ask them to expand. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @musedNeuroOT @theotservice For toileting, I will ask if it's the big one or small one? #otalk |
| Zoë @ot_zoe #otalk finding a shared language with the person, about 'going to the toilet', is important for shared understanding |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @NeuroOTsouth: @theotservice It reminds me of bad practice in nh years ago when I was a carer,& residents where 'toileted' only at set times :( #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Helen_OTUK: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only 10 mins left!! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/ZZZMmh3qBE |
| Deborah Stevens @deborah30470136 @theotservice Square toilet pans are the bane of my life when it comes to fitting a raised toilet seat! #otalk |
| Lynne Merrett @ot_lynne @theotservice It's important to listen to what our patients say and echo this so they know we are listening including terminology where appropriate #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @colinpgjones Your doing well Colin - #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 #OTalk https://t.co/pJJogrtuho |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last 5 mins any final thoughts! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice In my setting, all we can do is educating nursing homes is to let nursing aware of patients who might need them. #otalk |
| Deborah Stevens @deborah30470136 @colinpgjones @theotservice I work in equipment services and the majority of prescribers misguidedly think it is the solution #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk @NeuroOTsouth don't forget the # in every tweet, if you forget it, people will miss your tweet. #naughtystep https://t.co/yO6VroEQuS |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @theotservice And in some cases... portable ones where we can recycle (after cleaning). #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk times up!!! thanks @theotservice for hosting tonight great topic, I think we could chat about toilets for hours #otalk |
| Zoë @ot_zoe It was great to take part in #Otalk and think about toileting with other groups of service users and in other settings. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @NeuroOTsouth That's ok that what I'm here for. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks Kate was great - The transcript will be added to the blog in the next few days. #otalk night all!! https://t.co/LV4kmW1rkq |
