 | Rachel @OT_rach @orlatheot Ok so my current favourite works of art would have to be #GRAYSONPerry’s pottery. Both a craft and a work of art that tells a story, and you see something new each time to look at it. #OTalk https://t.co/tTMLS6BVj9 |

 | Holly Flintoff @hollyflintoff @OTalk_ My favourite work of art is a painting by gilly johns of my favourite place on earth. It makes me remember my honeymoon #otalk #creativeworkofart |
 | Khalilah Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ @OT_rach @orlatheot @ckeaneyOTs @Mrsbaistow Hello from Richmond, Virginia! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Mrsbaistow @ciderwithsophie @KirstyNiven What are soft skills? #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome. #OTalk |
 | Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux @orlatheot Tough to pick a favourite- I really enjoy the work of Ron Mueck due to the impression it makes when viewed in person. A lot of skill and dedication to creating the sculptures. @OTtalk #OTalk https://t.co/2447TREur2 |
| Abi Edwards @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #OTalk that’s a tough opening question. Hard to narrow it down. I’m almost a second year MSc OT student. Edward Hopper’s paintings of the sea and shore |
| Orla @orlatheot #OTalk Question 2: What are the benefits of using the creative arts as a therapeutic tool? https://t.co/fsJ4kDC9nW |
 | Molly Templeman @OTmollyy Hello everyone involved in tonight’s #OTalk I’m from Teesside, UK! 🤳🏻🙋🏻♀️ |
| SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @orlatheot I'm not sure I could even begin to choose a favourite. I do have a soft spot for the Angel of the North though, for always being there to welcome me home after a long journey #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget the hashtag #otalk |
| Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 #Otalk I love Karl Jenkins work Mass for Peace beautiful symphony.. Created in memory of world wars I saw Karl. Conduct it last Sept just brilliant music and singing 🎶 to get lost in.. |
 | Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Apologies for being late! I got distracted by #BackOff! I'm a 1 year qualified Rotational Band 5 #OccupationalTherapist, currently working on an #ElderlyCareUnit in East London. Looking forward to tonight's talk. #OTalk |
| Khalilah Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @orlatheot Kehinde Wiley is my favorite portrait artist. He challenges the “traditions” of portrait painting. He’s most famous for his portrait of President Barack Obama. I love the idea of breaking tradition in science and practice, because one size doesn’t not fit most. #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot At the moment I love watching dance: https://t.co/6NgJVtZNCH #otalk |
 | Rachael @RachaelD_OT Evening all #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
 | sherlyn graham @sherlynmelody Hello, I’m here also. Whilst at Brunel I decided to take up pottery. It was one of the best things I ever did. I felt great satisfaction. See one of my little pieces #porcelain #OTalk https://t.co/yILUHWihs9 |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot I love how using creative arts as a therapeutic tool can build professional relationships with patients by having fun whilst giving the opportunity to chip on to patient narratives! Definitely why OT is great! #OTalk |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @orlatheot Hi 👋🏻 I’m Rachael, I graduated in 2017. One of my favourite songs is Defying Gravity, from the musical Wicked. When I first heard it, it brought me to tears. I find the lyrics incredibly moving #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach @Mrsbaistow you need to put the hashtag in all your tweets so people see then #Otalk |
| Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux @Mrsbaistow @orlatheot @OtTalk It showed years ago in Ottawa, Canada at the National Gallery, they're massive and absolutely breathtaking. This is just an article I found online. Worth looking him up! @orlatheot @OTalk_ #OTalk |
 | Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @orlatheot I think creative arts can be very accessible as a therapeutic activity - some things like sports require you to have some amount of skill to enjoy it but with something like drawing or painting there's more freedom to just go for it #OTalk |
| Holly Flintoff @hollyflintoff @OTalk_ Sorry #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Tough question, not sure if I can answer it on the spot! We run an art group on our #ElderlyCareUnit, our patients create all sort of amazing work on a weekly basis. #OTalk |
| sherlyn graham @sherlynmelody I had learnt about flow in one of my modules. And extrinsic values of doing things. Making pottery or porcelain figures allowed me to feel the therapeutic benefits #OTalk |
| Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 #OTalk film created by Ken Loach I Daniel Blake because it is social comment standing up for people's right.. narrative of many vulnerable people... on Jennifer Creeks margins @jcreektv @DrWMB |
 | Karen Ruthven Brown @twinklekrb25 @OTalk_ @OT_rach @orlatheot @ckeaneyOTs @Mrsbaistow I am lurking too as I watch GBBO #OTalk |
| Abi Edwards @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #OTalk opportunity for expression, discovery, parallel talk. |
 | Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot Well this is an impossible question to answer!! #OTAlk |
| Orla @orlatheot Yes, the angel of the north is beautiful and has become a symbol of the area which brings personal meaning #otalk https://t.co/teJvs3ny4j: |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Apologies, that was meant to be #BakeOff ofcourse! #OTalk |

| Orla @orlatheot @cathymc9781 I will listen to it after #OTalk :) |
| Rachel @OT_rach @Mrsbaistow @orlatheot Grayson currently has a Channel 4 documentary looking at The rights of passage definitely worth a watch Channel 4. #otalk https://t.co/Sf9sjdftsJ |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @OTalk_: Question 2 #OTalk https://t.co/ZW7bCeBwMR |
| OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Khalilah Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ Art is about perspective. Using creative arts as a therapeutic tool provides perspective of the clients needs, concerns, strengths, etc., as well as language to communicate during the therapeutic process. It’s use is well-documented in psychology literature. #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ SO some of you are FORGETTING!!!! Dont forget to include those #OTalk hashtags in ALL you tweets. https://t.co/8Ul5neAQLT |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot Distraction, sense of identity, immersion, flow, confidence.... #OTALK |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @orlatheot I think the use of creative arts can be really beneficial when trying to build rapport with service users #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Yes! Playing music together, for example, I have found can start to build a therapeutic relationship #otalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach #otalk |
 | Louise McMann @louise_mcmann @OTalk_ I'm very interested to hear everyone's thoughts as would like to introduce this more in my place of work (integrated care at home for older adults). Would love to see it being utilised to engage people and reduce social isolation. #OTalk |
| Holly Flintoff @hollyflintoff @OTalk_ Sorry!!!! 😔😔😔 #otalk |
| Khalilah Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ Having said that, I do find it hard to translate that into language suitable for reimbursement under OT in the USA. #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @RachaelD_OT: @orlatheot Hi 👋🏻 I’m Rachael, I graduated in 2017. One of my favourite songs is Defying Gravity, from the musical Wicked.… |
| Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 @orlatheot #OTalk let me know what you think... |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot Yes, I'm struggling with it too! Even narrowing it down to music, my favourite song changes about once a week 😂 #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @RachaelD_OT Yes, I was moved to tears when I saw it live #otalk |
| Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux @orlatheot I think the creative arts facilitate communication with clients. They become more relaxed while partaking in the activity. It facilitates communication, verbal, non-verbal and expression through the art medium. #OTalk @OTalk_ |
| Orla @orlatheot #OTalk Question 3: What are your experiences of using creative arts in #occupationaltherapy practice? https://t.co/nKLp6eEk23 |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @colourful_ot: @orlatheot I think creative arts can be very accessible as a therapeutic activity - some things like sports require you t… |

 | SueOT@T2O @therapy2optimum #OTalk , #art 'the girl with the pearl earring' .. Wow, serenity and such skill. #music: currently @Elbow and @Palomafaith |
| Blakk Zaar @IAmZaar RT @OTalk_: #OTalk https://t.co/hUksNjfujM |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag #OTalk |
| Holly Flintoff @hollyflintoff @OT_rach But surely that’s subjective?? #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @colourful_ot Yes, when the emphasis is on the process rather than the finished product being perfect, it takes the pressure off people #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch So many benefits - every one can engage in creative activities -children, adolescents, adults, & older adults, as individuals, groups, or families. It can be done in a group or individually, can be used as an outlet or to relax. I could go on... #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Amazing #otalk |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot Even a conversation about similar interests from films to music to books can open an individual up to conversation and 1:1 input - particularly important in mental health settings! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Mrsbaistow @ciderwithsophie @KirstyNiven thanks! Make sure to include #otalk in your tweets so people can see :) |
 | Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @orlatheot For some people they can express themselves better through creative means than they can verbalise... everybody thinks and expresses themselves in different ways and creative arts can be a great medium for some! #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ You don’t need to but @OTalk_ in your tweets BIT YOU DO NEED THE HASHTAG #otalk, so people see your tweet and it gets included in the transcript |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @RebeccaCrouch Is that general (physical led) hospital or mental health? #OTALK |

| Orla @orlatheot @ciderwithsophie Yes, flow is an interesting one. Losing track of time, forgetting about the worries of life, and living in the moment #otalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ #OTALK |
| Orla @orlatheot @cathymc9781 Will do #otalk :D |
| Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 @orlatheot #otalk people can find themselves in another dimension.... can help promote self confidence all humans are innately creative beings... problem solvers it is how we have survived as a human species |

| Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux @RachaelD_OT @orlatheot Great musical and song! #OTalk |
| Stephanie Allan @Stephanie__OT @orlatheot I’ve had fantastic experiences using creative interventions in @alzscot Dementia services (painting/textiles/gardening groups) & LD inpatient (painting/mark-making/collage etc) 1:1 and groups alongside art therapists #OTalk |

 | Dawn Scull @DawnScull @OTalk_ #OTalk - evening all |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @orlatheot During a practice placement, I used music to encourage a service user to engage. He wasn’t responding to anybody. However, he was always playing his guitar and I often heard him singing. So, one day when he was playing in a communal area, I started to sing with him (1/2) #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @OTmollyy Yes, it is a topic I use daily on placement. What good films have you watch recently? What song are you listening to? Great conversation starters #otalk |
 | Norma Harrington @NormaMai_ RT @OTmollyy: @orlatheot I love how using creative arts as a therapeutic tool can build professional relationships with patients by having… |
| SueOT@T2O @therapy2optimum #OTalk #creative_activities in #OT were the reason I entered training. My, how things changed, rapidly! Creativity is one reason why I work.. to pay for 'stuff'. It is the icing on the cake. |
| Orla @orlatheot Love this #OTalk |
| Rachel @OT_rach @hollyflintoff Indeed- if there a difference between artistic and creative? Do you need to be artistic to run a creative activities intervention? #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @ciderwithsophie On an acute physical ward. #OTalk #ElderlyCareUnit |
| Orla @orlatheot @ais_d @twinklekrb25 @OTalk_ @OT_rach @ckeaneyOTs @Mrsbaistow GBBO is a creative art in itself #otalk |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot I have used creative writing working in my current practice - Eating Disorders! Letter writing to the disorder is a perfect way to express thoughts and feelings whilst detaching away from focus of the Eating Disorder. Client feedback from these sessions has been great!👍🏼#OTalk |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @orlatheot We established common musical interests and began setting goals through songs. On my final day, he said that he appreciated that I had let him speak through his music, as he found that far less intimidating (2/2) #OTalk |
| Dawn Scull @DawnScull @cathymc9781 @Mrsbaistow @OTalk_ @orlatheot @OT_rach @ckeaneyOTs #OTalk hello everyone |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @OT_rach I think there's artistic talent and there's creativity. I get not seeing yourself as an artistic person (I'm not musical - I like it but it doesn't come easily to me!) but I think what you need as an OT student is to be able to come up with ideas, think outside the box #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Mrsbaistow The benefits are endless #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @cathymc9781: @orlatheot #otalk people can find themselves in another dimension.... can help promote self confidence all humans are inna… |

| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot Nothing since first qualifying sadly. I feel like "mental health" settings are the main/only ones doing so, and even then community teams don't seem to?Makes me very sad! #OTALK |
| Orla @orlatheot @twinklekrb25 @ais_d @OTalk_ @OT_rach @ckeaneyOTs @Mrsbaistow Wow, love this idea! Very creative ;) #otalk |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot Also using creative art through bath bomb making as part of encouraging occupation participation in self care ADLs - also a fab sensory based activity (smells/textures/colours)! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Music is powerful #otalk |
| SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @OTmollyy @orlatheot Love this idea! #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @RachaelD_OT This is a great example. What did setting goals through song look like? #otalk |
| Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 #OTalk brilliant... Very beautiful... Music always makes me want to dance...and many people will move to music in some way tapping feet swaying... dancing can be gently encouraged for fun relaxation enjoyment.... friendship |
| Holly Flintoff @hollyflintoff @OT_rach I would have said no. Organisation skills yes and some idea on what ur doing it for clinically tho #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Creative writing in OT practice <3 #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @OT_rach "you're missing the point" (!!). But also highlights the difference in value of it- e.g process of engaging or outcome of completion. Tells u a lot about confidence to fail too #OTALK |
| OTalk @OTalk_ 30 minutes gone already! Time flies when youre busy chatting OT! #OTalk https://t.co/59X3bQlXzF |
 | Nicholas Vowles @nicholas_vowles @OTalk_ Being creative initiates a different cognitive process than alot if interventions which involve just processing instructions. #OTalk |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @smb1607 @orlatheot It is also very fun for us to get involved in with the patient! #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @OTmollyy Sounds great, was it 1:1 activity or as a group? #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @orlatheot @ais_d @twinklekrb25 @OTalk_ @OT_rach @ckeaneyOTs @Mrsbaistow I love it soooooo much. Whether it's on BBC or Channel 4. I love the continued creativity & original ideas the contestant come up with week on week (& season on season). It also nurtures an environment where it is okay to fail. Everyone is so supportive of one another #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot #OTalk Question 4: What are the challenges of using creative arts in practice? https://t.co/KwIIQzZ96F |
| Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux RT @orlatheot: #OTalk Question 2: What are the benefits of using the creative arts as a therapeutic tool? https://t.co/fsJ4kDC9nW |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Definitely #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot Any examples of creative arts outside OT mental health practice? #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @RebeccaCrouch Oh wow!!im envious!!We never wouldve had time/opportunity when i was in that role!And that certainly doesn't happen on wards around here! What's the history of the group being set up? #OTALK |
| Orla @orlatheot Combining self-care with creative arts, love it #otalk |
| Look Hear Australia @lookhearaust @OTalk_ There is no right or wrong, it is meaningful, is it good for you, and its just nice. Its nice to work on creative things, instead of always being focused on function, and independence. Sometimes its nice to just be #OTalk |
| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot As long as you can rationalise it there can always be a place for it. I have seen lots of amazing examples of creative arts being used in excellent ways and only ever worked in physical health :) #OTalk |
| Abi Edwards @AbiEdwards7 @ciderwithsophie @OT_rach #OTalk as a non arty OT student. I am loving the process of exploring creative therapies, it’s not a competition! |
| Orla @orlatheot Yes, let's not forget, it's fun! #otalk |
| Rachael @RachaelD_OT @orlatheot We wrote a song together & the lyrics were made up of steps to facilitate him to be able to cook again. We would sing the song every day together & repeatedly while he was in the kitchen. It really helped to alleviate some of his anxiety #OTalk |
| Abi Edwards @AbiEdwards7 @cathymc9781 #OTalk. It is amazing music |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot Sorry replied to wrong tweet! This was done within a group setting however very individualised work which was not shared - group setting provided safe and controlled environment for individuals to express themselves! #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ When I @OT_rach was a student on my last placement in spinal injuries, I lead a weekly creative group, we did card making, baking, creative writing. It was not done befor as the focus was on sports. But not everyone is sporty. #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @Scrumpess @orlatheot I feel like these need to be shared widely as no physical settings I've worked in/know of around here do. A lot of people i work with currently want to bring creative arts in but the council/nhs wouldnt free up time to! #OTALK |
| Orla @orlatheot @Scrumpess @ciderwithsophie Thanks Hannah, what have you seen? #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch When I was a #studentOT, my #diverseplacement was with a reminiscence arts charity called @ageexchange (where I worked with Jaqueline Ede). All the groups had a creative elements to them - art, crafts, art, music, all with elements of reminiscence. 1/2 #otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot One great example that is quite new at our trust is @Joyredwood2 - an OT using creative arts for enhanced care patients on the acute wards of @boltonnhsft #OTalk |
| Abi Edwards @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #OTalk used on my last placement at a hospice. Creativity provides time, thinking space, engagement all important in a palliative environment, improving quality of life. |
| Orla @orlatheot @RachaelD_OT Great idea, I would never have even thought of that. Thanks for sharing! #otalk |

| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot I have seen it used really well for people with spinal cord injuries, on an ortho ward at a different trust, again for dementia patients due to the high incidence of #nof in people with dementia #otalk |

| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @ageexchange On the #ElderlyCareUnit where I work now, I can refer people to community teams if they have goals to engage in meaningful activities like painting / drawing. Or I can support people in joining our weekly #artgroup. 2/2 #OTalk |

| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot For myself in Eating Disorders challenges can be variable depending on service user interest and their meaningful occupations! E.g may be difficult to facilitate creative art in dancing due to client risk of low BMI and energy/calorie burning due to activity... 1/2 #OTalk |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @orlatheot 2/2 ... stems more thought for adaptation of intervention #OTalk |

| OTalk @OTalk_ So are still forgetting the #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @ciderwithsophie I'm not quite sure how is started. The weekly art group was already running when I joined the rotation. But I can find out for you if you want? #OTalk |
| Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux @orlatheot I was fortunate to be in a community placement with an inclusive music organisation; my colleague and I applied OT skills to identify the population needs and research to support running a mindful drumming group. Fun for everyone! #OTalk @OTalk_ |
| Nicholas Vowles @nicholas_vowles @OTalk_ Creative arts are a good way to maintain individuality for patients in hospital.Creating something others can appreciate can give people a sense of contribution.Something they may have lost when admitted to hospital. #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @Scrumpess @orlatheot Rationalization is an interesting one, if it comes down to money/reducing hospital stay/increasing independence where is the hard evidence for the people holding the purse strings? #OTALK |
| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT @orlatheot I’m a former Arts Educ Officer who was introduced to OT through my former job. I think I see more of the role that arts can provide now for my patients than the actual activity. I work in secure services now #otalk |

| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT @orlatheot I think it can be the pre-conception of ability for patients and also the expectation of some arts practitioner to have the “perfect” end product #otalk |
| Hannah Silcock @Scrumpess @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot Suggest a PDSA to managers and show them the impact if you feel it can make one. Otherwise, research and liaising with others to use their evidence for those holding the purse strings #otalk |
| Khalilah Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @orlatheot I’ve observed therapists use creative arts to engage individuals with intellectual disability in a behavioral crisis. #OTalk I’ve used it in practice with individuals who are nonverbal and do not have alternative communication devices create their own “communication tablets.” |
| Orla @orlatheot #OTalk Question 5: Do you think #occupationaltherapy and the creative arts is evidence-based practice? Link any resources and research you’ve read around the topic. https://t.co/lyUDgEgMLN |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @RebeccaCrouch @ageexchange Well this sounds amazing!! Although the twitter handle doesn't work for me. What a great project! #OTALK |

| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT @orlatheot It can be used as a tool for so many things -pro-social skills development, roles and responsibilities and for processing skills inc. sequential and problem-solving. A colleague ran a choir that provided all of these #otalk |

| Dawn Scull @DawnScull @cathymc9781 @jcreektv @DrWMB It would have to be this photograph. It was taken by my husband near our home in Herefordshire one Autumn morning. I love the stillness, the sense of place and the way the light catches the leaf as it floats in the pool of water. #OTalk #TuesdayThoughts https://t.co/qcN9lYJltG |

| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @OTmollyy @orlatheot This sounds amazing! #OTALK |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @ciderwithsophie @ageexchange Apologies - try this @Age_Exchange! They also run a reminiscence café. If you are ever in Blackheath, South London, it's well worth a visit. #OTalk |
 | Erin Cullen @ErinOTstudent For a while I volunteered as an arts and crafts volunteer, working on stroke, neurosurgery and spinal injury units with @Sheffhospvols and @RoxanaRoxyfoxy. #Otalk |
| Catherine McNulty @cathymc9781 @DawnScull @jcreektv @DrWMB Yes beautiful #OTalk lovely picture.. captures stillness and peacefulness |
| Khalilah Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ I immediately thought of this article about its use as a pedagogical tool. #OTalk https://t.co/g2CGFoIFxV |

| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @Mrsbaistow @orlatheot Community Adult Social care reablement currently. So in theory could have potential but currently (always!) focus is on throughput and meeting basic adls #OTALK |
| Orla @orlatheot Thanks will give it a read #otalk |
| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT @OTalk_ Yes! Loads of research out there. Depends what aspects you want to focus on. Consider MOHOST domains and what area you’re trying to promote. Occ identity and competency for sure #otalk |

| Dawn Scull @DawnScull @cathymc9781 @jcreektv @DrWMB I agree the film of our time would have to be I Daniel Blake - such a powerful social commentary. #OTalk |

| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT @orlatheot I think consider collaboratively working with arts organisations. Lots of funding opportunities for projects and great advantages for patients #otalk also be open to what resources your setting already has |
| Rachel @OT_rach @ais_d @erinnnn14_OT @orlatheot Awww you guys #OTalk https://t.co/gmqg8fz3Uk |
| Erin Cullen @ErinOTstudent @Sheffhospvols @RoxanaRoxyfoxy It was a great experience to see the way the activity broke barriers, started conversations that allowed people to share their stories and hopes & fears, interrupt the monotony of long hospital stays, connect to the outside world, create sense of accomplishment #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch People may be reluctant to engage due to lack of confidence or interest. Some people assume you have to be creative to partake in these activities, although like @orlatheot mentioned, it's the process, not the product. Although the product can often be very rewarding. #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot RT @erinnnn14_OT: @orlatheot I think it can be the pre-conception of ability for patients and also the expectation of some arts practitione… |
| Sarah Cordeaux @SarahCordeaux @orlatheot At a basic level I think that resources are a big challenge. I also agree with @Scrumpess that some therapists might not be comfortable in using creative arts in practice. It depends what you're exposed to in training/practice. #OTalk |
| SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @orlatheot #Otalk! |

| Erin Cullen @ErinOTstudent @Sheffhospvols @RoxanaRoxyfoxy But it was completely unconnected from the work that OTs were doing on the ward, which felt like a real waste. (Apart from the Spinal injury unit, where it was separate but they supported/encouraged people to participate) #otalk |

| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot Statutory service constraints/barriers #OTALK |
| Nicholas Vowles @nicholas_vowles @RebeccaCrouch @orlatheot Yes, difficult sometimes to find the right activity for individuals,and the logistical constraints of a hospital environment can limit activities. #otalk |
| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT @RebeccaCrouch @orlatheot I think the interest does need to be there however also a clear outline of the reasons why it would be beneficial. Whether it is educational/skill development/compensatory #otalk |

| Erin R @erinnnn14_OT I think overall that we need to ensure that we articulate the benefits to our MDT as well. How it fits to our Model or Frame of Reference as a means of treatment rather than just a leisurely-based activity (unless that is the purpose). All for EBP! #otalk |
| Dawn Scull @DawnScull @cathymc9781 @jcreektv @DrWMB The other important piece of artwork I have is above my desk at work. It is vibrant still life oil painting of flowers, painted in a naive style by a woman who survived the holocaust. It has provoked much discussion within my team and inspires me every day. #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @orlatheot I think we need more specific evidence around a particular arts in community settings #OTALK compared to "traditional" intervention/not meeting the need #OTALK |
| Molly Templeman @OTmollyy @RebeccaCrouch @orlatheot #OTalk interest checklists are helpful tools to identify meaningful creative activities however limitations may be involved if attempting to use creative arts/activities as initial contact prior to assessment |
| Orla @orlatheot @SarahCordeaux @Scrumpess Yes, not every OT would feel equip to facilitate a music or pottery session #otalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @louise_mcmann @Mrsbaistow @orlatheot Snap!! In theory. maybe we should link up to work through ideas together? #OTALK |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Well thats our offical hour up. Big thanks to everyone for joining in and to @orlatheot @ckeaneyOTs and @Mrsbaistow for a great topic & being an awesome #OTalk hosts https://t.co/WG8uqjZG94 |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @erinnnn14_OT @orlatheot Or for relaxation. Or an opportunity to get away from your bay. Or to meet new people. The reasons for running a creative group can be pretty extensive. Encouraging people to give it a go & explaining they can leave if they want is also helpful. #OTalk |
| OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget hosting or participating in an #OTalk chat can contribute towards your CPD. Be sure to complete your reflection & download your certificate. https://t.co/Dnl21vqZqu |
