| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTCoachUK: Okey dokey just to kick things off then, whose as excited about #OT as I am? #otalk @TheOTShow |

 | SarahBarkerOT @smb1607 @OTalk_ @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow @GillyGorry Lurking #Otalk |
 | Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x RT @OTCoachUK: One reason I am so pleased about the @TheOTShow awards is that for years I felt that OTs work so hard and often without recognition #OTalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK So have been pondering for years why this is as we do amazing work and other industries shout all the time about how great they are! #OTalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTCoachUK: One reason I am so pleased about the @TheOTShow awards is that for years I felt that OTs work so hard and often without recognition #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow I don't want to be wishing the time away as I'm on a great placement but... I am very excited to soon be qualified! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: One reason I am so pleased about the @TheOTShow awards is that for years I felt that OTs work so hard and often without recognition #OTalk |
 | Kelly M @OTontheTracks @OTalk_ @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow @GillyGorry Just lurking tonight. Interesting topic. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: Okey dokey just to kick things off then, whose as excited about #OT as I am? #otalk @TheOTShow |
 | Sheila Williams @budsmam RT @OTalk_: Remember to follow your code of ethics and professional conduct and be respectful of others during #OTalk |
| Sheila Williams @budsmam RT @OTalk_: Tonights blog and topic #otalk https://t.co/CAAX0Idke2 |
 | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK #OTalk good evening all. I am here drinking @GillyGorry coffee... 🤣 |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK I wonder if it's because it can be so difficult to describe the wide variety of our roles and our impact #otalk 1/2 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow your qualified years can go quick, just FYI. #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK So lurkers "I often feel OTs hid their light under a bushel - they work away & don’t show how amazing they are. Do you agree? #OTalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK Or maybe it's because we are too patient-centred and humble! #otalk 2/2 |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK We need to be shouting too, the bigger our voices the more will realise the amazing work OTs do #OT #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow Qualified in 2012...feels like yesterday #otalk |
 | 💚 Samantha 💙 @Samantha_OT Lurking tonight on #OTalk - hello lovely OTs 😊 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK speaking of which, I actually am challenging my conference workshop attendees to do it in 2 mins next month, TEDx style! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK It's definitely hard trying to describe the variety #OT covers when explaining it #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK Yes I agree with both those points. Humble but also difficulty to understand! #OTalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK Have done the 'explain your job in a lift' scenario...hard work #otalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK Some do... #OTalk some of us not so much... 😉 https://t.co/vg4P6Fipid |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @Amie_OT: @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow I don't want to be wishing the time away as I'm on a great placement but... I am very excited to soon be qualified! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK I tried out for TEDx Teen (since it's a relatively big stage) and learned that I didn't make it. But, I am glad I gave it a shot. #otalk |
 | Alice Nicholson @AliceNicOT @OTalk_ @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow @GillyGorry First time actively participating. #OTalk |
 | Deborah Harrison 💙💚 @DebbiiHarrison Good evening #OTalk, I haven't joined in for a while so mainly lurking tonight https://t.co/aNVpngA3rb |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow same year... lol! #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK I think @theRCOT has done some great work helping us show our value, but I still think we have a long way to go #OTalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK I think some of this is because it can be very qualitative data- harder to shout about than quantitive numbers of other professions #otalk |
 | Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @OTCoachUK Absolutely! I'm the only OT in my service so tend to just do my own thing. #Otalk |
| Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK Definitely think this contributes, often talk to other students about this, think it's a big barrier to being proud of our work #OTalk |
 | Hello my name is Jim @OT_Jim RT @theRCOT: #OTalk tonight is on the topic of “Recognition and OT”. 8-9pm, UK time. https://t.co/rQNvcaHob3 https://t.co/jpHnEPvBrA |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK My job can vary daily so trying to encompass all of our skills can feel daunting #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK yes... at least it's more wide open. When it's TEDx/TED, your sales pitch often has to be tailored. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AliceNicOT @OTalk_ @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow @GillyGorry welcome! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK But qualitative data and findings are just as valuable! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK and for my workshop, nobody can hide. Only way to "hide" is to share the experience with trusted partner. #otalk |
| Hello my name is Jim @OT_Jim It's been awhile for me too, just lurking for now #OTalk https://t.co/HZXyPyB5OS |
| Hello my name is Jim @OT_Jim RT @Helen_OTUK: Some do... #OTalk some of us not so much... 😉 https://t.co/vg4P6Fipid |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT #otalk yes and its really hard. When I make it simple people say oh you are a coach or social worker.... if you add the word occupation... |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK Completely!! But when it comes to discussing with medics/commissioners the want numbers! #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @BillWongOT Completely- I get 'Like a physio' all the time! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT and speaking of speaking about #valueofot, #othillday organised by AOTA was a great opportunity for students and practitioners #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK Whenever I do the OT thing, people are always amazed by how awesome our work is and wonder why they haven't heard of us before #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK It's a shame that qualitative data can't be considered as important when it comes to commissioners #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK and speaking to legislative officials, potential fiscal impact is king! #otalk |
| Maggie Ruth Morton @SensationalOT @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT I think adding the word occupation is where it's at- as in occupying- all the things that keep us busy: work rest or play #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @BillWongOT I had this on my first placement in A&E because it was an integrated team, i was constantly described as the physio in green trousers #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK There is a push in ITU literature for quality of life outcome measures so the future may be changing! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Explorer @OTCoachUK In TED/TEDx stages, I would avoid explaining anything that needs more than 2 minutes for people to understand! #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTCoachUK: So lurkers "I often feel OTs hid their light under a bushel - they work away & don’t show how amazing they are. Do you agree? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK It's a shame that qualitative data can't be considered as important when it comes to commissioners #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OT_Explorer @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK That sounds brilliant! #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @SensationalOT @OTCoachUK @BillWongOT Love that explanation of 'occupation' #otalk |
| Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @SensationalOT @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT I've started using this, I find it helps but still need more explanation about what OT actually means in practice! #OTalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @Helen_OTUK: Some do... #OTalk some of us not so much... 😉 https://t.co/vg4P6Fipid |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK We can all hope can't we? #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT Comms will always want nmbers, but numbers can actually be very easy to generate, we don't have 2 rely on RCTS or big boys 2 provide #OTalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK Definitely! Just got to find ways to translate into practice! #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @SensationalOT: @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT I think adding the word occupation is where it's at- as in occupying- all the things that keep us busy: work rest or play #OTalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @OT_Explorer @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x Sounds perfect #OTalk real life scenarios are often more compelling that we are led to believe |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @Amie_OT: @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @BillWongOT I had this on my first placement in A&E because it was an integrated team, i was constantly described as the physio in green trousers #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTCoachUK: @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT Comms will always want nmbers, but numbers can actually be very easy to generate, we don't have 2 rely on RCTS or big boys 2 provide #OTalk |
| Maggie Ruth Morton @SensationalOT @OccupationalFox @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT YES- but it's the perfect lead in to find out what service users do in a day to keep occupied or what they might like to do 📝🍝⛷🏄♀️🎭🎻 #OTalk |
| Hello my name is Jim @OT_Jim RT @SensationalOT: @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT I think adding the word occupation is where it's at- as in occupying- all the things that keep us busy: work rest or play #OTalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @Amie_OT Yes- we need to start freeing ourselves up to identify our benefits and write the reports to self-promote #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTCoachUK: @OT_Explorer @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x Sounds perfect #OTalk real life scenarios are often more compelling that we are led to believe |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK and I also think we should be doing more speaking to a wider audience @BillWongOT is right #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT and in AOTA levels, fiscal impact number often is relied on lobbyists and other people who closely work w/ government officials. #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @SensationalOT @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT I will be using this the next time I need to explain #OT #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: and I also think we should be doing more speaking to a wider audience @BillWongOT is right #OTalk |
 | Holly Graham @HollyGtheOT @OTCoachUK Sometimes but it’s imperative we start pushing our profession particularly in these times of austerity #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: @OT_Explorer @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x Sounds perfect #OTalk real life scenarios are often more compelling that we are led to believe |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT Comms will always want nmbers, but numbers can actually be very easy to generate, we don't have 2 rely on RCTS or big boys 2 provide #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Explorer @OTCoachUK we had 30 second public service announcements from @otacnews. But, like many OT resources, they got to be widely circulated. #otalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT RT @SensationalOT: @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT I think adding the word occupation is where it's at- as in occupying- all the things that keep us busy: work rest or play #OTalk |
 | caroline bates @carolinebates12 @OTalk_ @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow @GillyGorry I'm here too! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SensationalOT: @OccupationalFox @OTCoachUK @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT YES- but it's the perfect lead in to find out what service users do in a day to keep occupied or what they might like to do 📝🍝⛷🏄♀️🎭🎻 #OTalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @SarahSharland19 @OTCoachUK @Amie_OT No- I work in Acute NHS and we're looking to implement outcome measures- would anyone recommend it? #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK OK Q2 As a caring profession, do we find “showing off” somehow distasteful or is it a confidence thing or something else going on? #OTalk |
 | Whitney Kadzirange @whitney_kad @OTalk_ @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow @GillyGorry Interesting topic, just lurking tonight #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK I completely agree, self-promotion is key to changing how the profession is viewed by others #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: I think @theRCOT has done some great work helping us show our value, but I still think we have a long way to go #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK @OT_Explorer @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x yes- you will notice that my second TEDx Talk utilised 3 real-life stories, after I made name changes so that people don't easily ID. #otalk |
| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @Amie_OT I don't use them either but wondering whether to start! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @HollyGtheOT: @OTCoachUK Sometimes but it’s imperative we start pushing our profession particularly in these times of austerity #OTalk |
 | Sheffield OTCA @SheffOTCA I hope you don't mind this plug @OTCoachUK but our upcoming event links in very well with promoting the great work of OTs! #OTalk 😊 https://t.co/eCyaKaqhLZ |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Amie_OT: @OTCoachUK We need to be shouting too, the bigger our voices the more will realise the amazing work OTs do #OT #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTCoachUK: OK Q2 As a caring profession, do we find “showing off” somehow distasteful or is it a confidence thing or something else going on? #OTalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK Welcome new lurkers #OTalk |
 | Stefanie_MSOT @MSOT_sandwell @OTCoachUK The complexity and diversity of interventions makes it hard to explain efficacy as a profession however case studies can be useful #otalk https://t.co/Ts39q87TNI |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @SarahSharland19 @OTCoachUK I used outcome measures on placement in acute 3 day older people's service, they focused on time spent on the unit before discharge #otalk |
 | Emily Rose Williams @emilyrw26 @OTCoachUK I think it is important to find the right balance between 'showing off' and ensuring we value the work we do #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We certainly are a modest bunch #otalk https://t.co/ne6WCEHm3n |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK In the states, we called tooting our horns. I do it a lot, though in moderation. I still try to be professional. #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @Amie_OT: @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK I completely agree, self-promotion is key to changing how the profession is viewed by others #otalk |
| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @OTCoachUK From personal experience, i think it depends on the team you're in and how well OT is recognised within the service. #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @emilyrw26: @OTCoachUK I think it is important to find the right balance between 'showing off' and ensuring we value the work we do #otalk |
| The OT Show @TheOTShow RT @OTalk_: We certainly are a modest bunch #otalk https://t.co/ne6WCEHm3n |
| caroline bates @carolinebates12 @OTCoachUK I definitely don't think we do it enough hence recent ot redundancies #otalk |
 | Kim OT @_OTKim @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK Being proud of what we are (or due to become) and what we do #OTalk |
| Maggie Ruth Morton @SensationalOT I think it's more fundamental- we are so aware of our huge scope we don't want to narrow what OT could does by shouting our focus 😕#OTalk https://t.co/sF9PTI30go |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTCoachUK: @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT #otalk yes and its really hard. When I make it simple people say oh you are a coach or social worker.... if you add the word occupation... |
 | Francesca 🏴🇪🇺🌻 (she/ her) @OT_Francesca @OTCoachUK Often ppl don't know OT til they meet one then thy love it, that's the case for most of my MSc cohort! We need to keep shouting #Otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK for me it's finding time to 'show off' about our skills and promoting this in my clinical area #OTalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @SensationalOT I think thats a very good point Maggie #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @emilyrw26 @OTCoachUK Professionally i agree there's a fine balance between shouting about the profession and remaining professional #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @SarahSharland19 @OTCoachUK Which one did they use? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ It's like a magic eye "that OT thing" once you see it, you see it #otalk https://t.co/NQAHdDXAh8 |
| Holly Graham @HollyGtheOT @OTCoachUK I agree it depends on the team. You already need to be respected but then you gain respect by being seen as important in the MDT #OTalk |
| Deborah Harrison 💙💚 @DebbiiHarrison #OTalk Q2 I love showing off & I often point out the power of occupation in the diverse settings I work in; then the #valueofOT is clear 💚 https://t.co/Ep0u4lx3Of |
| Kim OT @_OTKim @OTalk_ I've met a few OTs who think that what they do is 'common sense' but that is because they make the complex look easy #OTalk |
| Lucy Howell @howell_lucy @OTCoachUK It definitely makes a difference which profession leads your team, as to how they understand OT #Otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OT_Explorer @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK It's all about finding the right 'stage' to shout from, isn't it? #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK Yes but I met so many OTs who wouldn't think to apply for prizes/awards especially outside of our industry #OTalk |
 | Rachel Reece OT @RRenable Ah. That good old "green physio" comment - my lovely physio colleagues don't understand - this is why I go on and on about what OT is #otalk https://t.co/HAWsfJguYf |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OT_Explorer @OTCoachUK Completely!! And having the right 'audience' #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @SarahSharland19 @OTCoachUK I can't remember. I am using one for group work now, non-standardised that rates interest, enjoyment and mood. It's simple & works #otalk |
 | Venthan Mailoo @VenthanMailoo @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow How long can a person stay excited for? #OTalk https://t.co/OoONTOStN8 |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK I think we should enc those who enjoy speaking & promotion to represent our team or our service - showing off isn't for everyone lol #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT So this is the hands on activity instructions for my @OTACnews conference workshop. #otalk https://t.co/yHVaIBibGT |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @RRenable It's frustrating, but in those times self-promotion is worth it! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KimBellOT: @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK Being proud of what we are (or due to become) and what we do #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OT_Explorer @OTCoachUK Yes, you need listening ears! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @FranSmartOT: @OTCoachUK Often ppl don't know OT til they meet one then thy love it, that's the case for most of my MSc cohort! We need to keep shouting #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_Explorer @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK when I go to TED/TEDx events to meet other speakers, I often tried to link up their talks first before I talked about OT. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @HollyGtheOT: @OTCoachUK I agree it depends on the team. You already need to be respected but then you gain respect by being seen as important in the MDT #OTalk |
| Maggie Ruth Morton @SensationalOT @Amie_OT @emilyrw26 @OTCoachUK And we don't always get in the right room with the people that need to recognise the potential of u#OT (looking at you Commissioners) #OTalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @Amie_OT @OT_Explorer @xJessicaKate18x Well kinda think that we should embrace all kinds of stages not just the health/medical stages #OTalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @OTCoachUK I think that there is something about 'confidence' ... But also 'imposter syndrome' may play a part? #OTalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @VenthanMailoo @xJessicaKate18x @BillWongOT @Amie_OT @TheOTShow A very long time, excited am I #OTalk (to be spoken in yoda voice) |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK True, being able to stand infront of people & talk is not for everyone. I've learnt over the last 2 years to feel comfortable with it #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @Amie_OT @OT_Explorer Yes, would be brilliant to get some more 'stages' in entrepreneurial areas- may help us self-promote #otalk |
| Kim OT @_OTKim @OTalk_ I find it awesome that the everyday things that people do, or want to do, have such an impact on health and wellbeing #OTalk |
| Rachel Reece OT @RRenable I read a blog post about occupational science only being recognised since 1980 whilst medicine has been ongoing for 2500 years #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @OTCoachUK I sure had some imposter syndrome in my early days trying to do my OT conference workshops. Going solo for 1+ hour is tough! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @VenthanMailoo @xJessicaKate18x @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow in a real life TEDx event, I think 30 minutes after start is long enough wait! #otalk |
| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @HollyGtheOT @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK This is true. But sometimes I feel like I'm playing devils advocate as my perspective is so different to the nurses #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @SensationalOT @emilyrw26 @OTCoachUK Sometimes it is about picking the battles isn't it? #otalk |
| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @HollyGtheOT @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK You can get the reputation of being "challenging" #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @OTCoachUK many people don't believe there was a time I dreaded public speaking... lol! #otalk |
 | Amy Smith @DiscoveringOT RT @OTCoachUK: Whenever I do the OT thing, people are always amazed by how awesome our work is and wonder why they haven't heard of us before #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @OTCoachUK I am excited to engage in activities to show off our profession during OT week whilst I'm on placement! #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK Agree Imposter syndrome is rife in the OTs I work with.... #OTalk hence this https://t.co/7SRygkbSex |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x This is why MDT working is so important #otalk https://t.co/CBXLpXNLsE |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @OT_Explorer I totally agree! #otalk |
| Maggie Ruth Morton @SensationalOT @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @OTCoachUK But you did it! It's the act of putting ourselves out there, doing abstracts and posters that helps us learn to fight our corner #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 @HollyGtheOT @OTCoachUK haha- I think I will soon get that too... once people go to my @OTACnews conference workshop this fall. #otalk |
| Deborah Harrison 💙💚 @DebbiiHarrison Ah yes, but humans were occupational beings before that! #OTalk https://t.co/xLa5Zy2DTT |
| Sarah Sharland (OT) @SarahSharland19 @xJessicaKate18x Absolutely! #otalk |
| Rachel Reece OT @RRenable Wrongly or rightly: I feel we need less emphasis on "occupational therapist rather than OT" and more on what we achieve! #otalk #stopfaffing |
| Venthan Mailoo @VenthanMailoo @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow We need better representation of #OccupationalTherapy by the mainstream media: https://t.co/VmFNcHKif2 #OTalk #Hospital #HolbyCity etc |
| Emily Rose Williams @emilyrw26 RT @DebbiiHarrison: Ah yes, but humans were occupational beings before that! #OTalk https://t.co/xLa5Zy2DTT |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @MSOT_sandwell @Helen_OTUK @OTCoachUK when I did my 2nd TEDx Talk, I sure was an imposter from content standpoint. People often shocked to learn topic wasn't 1st choice. #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @SensationalOT @VenthanMailoo @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow That sounds like an amazing opportunity #otalk |
| Emily Rose Williams @emilyrw26 @OTCoachUK With the current pressures on the NHS it is likely OT will be increasingly used to ease discharge pressures #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @VenthanMailoo @OTCoachUK yes- that's why I sort of use my autism self-advocate platform to help with this part, too. #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK I think the majority of OTs will be working in the community in 'crisis' aversion through a range of teams/roles #otalk |

| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK I also think we'll be better at selling ourselves- as services become privatised we're going to have to prove our worth #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OTCoachUK More innovative practice away from traditional #OT settings, I'm not sure but it will be an adventure #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK We should have at least 5 Google Talks, explaining key areas of what we do. So far we have none! #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @VenthanMailoo @OTCoachUK @TheOTShow Too true! #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @emilyrw26 yep and occupation is not often on the table in these situations? #OTalk but because we are so good at it it distorts our practice? |

| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @BillWongOT I don't know what a Google talk is @BillWongOT l #OTalk tell us! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK So, it's basically an expanded version of TED Talks. You are given an hour to speak instead of 18 minutes. #otalk |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @OTCoachUK @BillWongOT Never heard of a google talk #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OccupationalFox @OTCoachUK That's the goal! I hope we get to a point where I don't have to keep explaining the profession each time I mention #OT #otalk |
| Jen Gash @OTCoachUK @OT_Explorer That's my feeling too #otalk yey !!! drive the direction not just justify our practice in someone elses paradigm and institutional needs.. |
| Holly Graham @HollyGtheOT @OTCoachUK Difficult to answer. Hope by raising awareness of prof we can work in more environments than NHS, but hopefully NHS will still exist #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTCoachUK The thing is- the only way you can get one is you have someone with strong Google ties. He/she then will arrange everything for u. #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OT_Explorer @OTCoachUK I'm not sure of the world ruling but services, I will like to see that! #otalk |
| Kim OT @_OTKim @OTCoachUK That we can easily shift the focus away from medical model #OTalk |
| Emily Rose Williams @emilyrw26 @OTCoachUK Function and independence are still key in this role but occupation does appear to take a back seat, our role appears less rigid #otalk |

| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @KimBellOT @OTCoachUK I would love for quality of life and doing to be as important as medical status #otalk |
| Kathryn Fox @OccupationalFox @OTCoachUK @emilyrw26 Agree that this role needs to be managed carefully, OTs can bring so much to hospital, not just discharge services! #OTalk |
