| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @BillWongOT @dmay_ot hello from the middle of the UK Bill #OTalk |
 | Fiona Page @FionaPageOT Hello - so to start tonights #OTalk Question 1 What does professional identity mean to you and what has influenced this? |
 | Carolinewoodger @carolinewoodger @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello. Glad to be here #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk |
 | Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello! 😀 #OTalk |
 | Amir dar @AmirdarOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach 👋 hello #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @SPOTeurope great to see representation from European students on this #OTalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @mrsmcinburtott @BillWongOT @dmay_ot Good morning from Australia #OTalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope The uniqueness of YOU - connection has influenced this from making connections across Europe! |
 | Lauren Scarisbrick @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT Using an occupation focused lens and who I am as a practitioner. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @mrsmcinburtott @dmay_ot time will tell next time I head back this way! #otalk |
 | Michele Morgan @MicheleMorganOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @WaSarahOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach you will need to make your tweets public for the hour if you want your tweets to make the transcript. #otalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ for me its about highlighting what is unique about the profession of OT #Otalk |
 | Rachel Student OT @nurse_r @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello! #OTalk |
 | Emma Rodrigues @EmRodriguesOTS The uniqueness of yourself as a therapist, what makes you different. I'd say all the opportunities Iv had as an OT student and all the people I have met have influenced me as a therapist! Ie. Conferences, educators, lectures, people - things we learn erm so everything really haha |
 | #hellomynameis Jade @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT To me, its putting on the OT cap! Its my identifiy as an OT student, considering all things occupation. Thinking back to all the first year modules!💚 #otalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT My green trousers....!! Not that people who don't wear green trousers don't have professional identity!! I worked hard for the privilege and am so proud to wear them...#OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ Hello @FionaPageOT 👋Q1 #OTalk mine has changed shape having being formed from different professional roles, education and other development. People, places and occupations have influenced it. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT good question- I think it is what sets us apart from other professional disciplines that we work with. After all, not only we need to explain such to the other multidisciplinary members we work with, we also have to do so publicly, too. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @emmaspellmanOT: @OTalk_ Hello @FionaPageOT 👋Q1 #OTalk mine has changed shape having being formed from different professional roles, edu… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KatrinaBaldryOT: @FionaPageOT My green trousers....!! Not that people who don't wear green trousers don't have professional identity!!… |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT For me it's seeing myself as an occupational therapist and seeing that as involving a certain set of skills, values, and theory. #OTalk |
| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT @KatrinaBaldryOT I only ever wore mine on my last placement, but still remember feeling very proud #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT In all seriousness...for me, its about holistic assessment, client-centeredness and working towards individualised goals of the patient...I don't think there's many professionals who say they work that way #OTalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @FionaPageOT Putting on the OT lens and making my practice patient centred. Sometimes I can't turn off that OT lens even at home 😛 #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT hi emma - do you think you have a stronger professional identity now then when you first graduated? #Otalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ In what way do you highlight this? #Otalk |
 | Rachael S @RachaelS_OT RT @OTalk_: Question 1 #OTalk |
 | Sarah W @WaSarahOT @BillWongOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach Thanks Bill - I think I have done that now #OTalk |
 | ✨Eleanor Cecil @El_Cecil_ @FionaPageOT Creativity, leadership, facilitating change, collaboration & recovery #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT Green trousers don't exist in the USA. So, it has to show up in other ways in our work attire- badges, lab coats, T-shirts, etc. #otalk |

| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ love this @mrsmcinburtott we have a very definite professional ID 💚#Talk@mrsmcinburtott we have a very definite professional ID 💚#OTalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Always! #otalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT Ive never worn them but I still oddly love them. #Otalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT I find it amazing how it evolves and how you can continue to fall in love with the profession, over and over again...#OTalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT All my favourite things about being an OT! #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch For me it means feeling grounded & knowing yourself. Time, confidence & experience influenced this. When I was newly qualified, professional identity was something I struggled w especially when rotating. Trying 2 find ur place in a new team & setting can be very unsettling #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT My professional identity has been influenced by my education as well as comparing myself and modelling myself against other OTs, and I think also by how I've learned to describe my job to other people #OTalk |
 | Dr Lynne Goodacre @LynneGoodacre Mine too @emmaspellmanOT #OTalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @FionaPageOT As a 3rd yr student there are external factors which are part of my professional identity, such as RCOT membership and being part of my OT cohort. There are also internal factors such as my values which I believe are important in a therapist based role such as compassion. #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch RT @El_Cecil_: @FionaPageOT Creativity, leadership, facilitating change, collaboration & recovery #OTalk |
 | laughingmind @laughingmind @dmay_ot 1/(waves at #OTalk) - hi from Australia. Going to put up a recent, relevant case for ppl to lean-into if there's interest. Fires here causing displacement of ppl, including frail elderly; |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ we do but it can be challenging to sometimes help people understand our focus and appreciate all the skills an OT can bring #Otalk |
| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy I know what you mean, we don't just do OT, we are OTs #OTalk |

| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT For sure with each new professional role it grew in strength, never stronger than now and since engagement with volunteer role with @theRCOT #OTalk is it the same for you - for others? |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @BillWongOT @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT Same in Australia. We mostly wear casual dress. Lots of I❤️OT badges going around though. #OTalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT I agree. I am constantly trying to explain how our role differs from Physiotherapists #OTalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Yesss @FionaPageOT !!!! - we may have to steal this quote for our #midweekmotivation post next week if that's ok! Totally agree #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @mrsmcinburtott @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ that's why I decide to unleash a dream final in a leadership class I am hopefully teaching- my students will do a mock TEDx open mic audition to a curator. I need to grill them to do this in high stakes situations. Things will only get easier from there. :) #otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT I don't wear a uniform so I feel the same way about the @theRCOT badge I have on my work lanyard 😊 #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT I don't wear uniform... but I have recently bought green trousers for work! #otalk |
| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT @emmaspellmanOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ @theRCOT I totally agree, i see opportunity more now #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT RT @KatrinaBaldryOT: @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT I find it amazing how it evolves and how you can continue to fall in love with th… |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @laughingmind @dmay_ot that must be really tricky - we have been watching it on the news here in the UK. the acute displacement of people has such a negative impact on every day tasks. are OTs involved in the supporting services ? #OTalk |
| Amir dar @AmirdarOT @OTalk_ Ensuring we stay client centred , and understanding the true meaning behind their occupations and not having pre conceived opinions on what that occupation should be #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT @theRCOT Yes...I also love wearing my @theRCOT badge! #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy Sometimes it's really really hard not to OT my friends... #otalk |
| ✨Eleanor Cecil @El_Cecil_ @FionaPageOT My professional journey & identity has been influenced by my family (3rd generation mental health practitioner) & the people I’ve met along the way - both professionals & those who receive health & other services #OTalk |
 | Francesca @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT External factors such as the team that I work within always have an influence. I am lucky to work as part of a team full of very occupation focused, creative, and person-centred OTs and this has strengthened my professional identity. #OTalk |
| laughingmind @laughingmind @dmay_ot 2/ #OTalk Case of 104yo woman - needs home Ax in new location for handrails - lovely ppl from FindABed sourced new accom for her, needed advice on home-mods prescription. She's in a regional town, unlikely to have local OT; |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk the easiest way to remember the # in every single tweet is to start every single tweet with the hashtag! https://t.co/An3gvvALkU |
 | Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach I’m late and lurking tonight energy levels are very low #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ agreed @mrsmcinburtott #OTalk I think there are differences in understanding and value even among our community of occupational therapy practice |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre @LynneGoodacre Over the years my prof identity has evolved to become multifaceted - initially strongly as an OT but over the years it has changed to encompass far more but OT is always at the centre #OTalk |
 | #HelloMyNameIs Carolyn @CeeCeeOT Any idea how I can get a replacement badge, anyone? #OTalk |
 | Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT To me professional identity is linked with our USP for #OccupationalTherapy so is about having and using an #occupational lens to all I do. Influenced by education, learning from others, previous and current jobs. #OTalk |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @AmirdarOT @OTalk_ not having pre conceived ideas is really important when working with clients. do you think sometimes service constraints impact on this in terms of our professional identity? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @francesca0587: @FionaPageOT External factors such as the team that I work within always have an influence. I am lucky to work as part o… |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT I find it so hard to not assess someone while I watch them cook. Not that I tell them what I'm doing. #OTalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT What setting do you work in? #Otalk. I find that difficult working in an acute hospital setting. |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @KatrinaBaldryOT @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT Me too, the more I know and learn the more I love. Has been this way since day one on my undergrad degree many years ago. #OTalk |
| Nat Jones @natlouj @FionaPageOT So many influences make up my professional identity and its continually evolving, its not a fixed state or concept its organic as you develop in your career and personally. There are some key 🗝 features such as 'occupation focused, person focused, environment focused' 💭🤔#OTalk |
 | Third Year OT @Maddy_OT @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello #OTalk ✅ |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy Or your family. I "diagnosed" my grandfather with dementia 5 years ago & made lots of recommendations to my mum who is caring for him. He now has a alzeihmers dx & a neuro community OT, who uses some of the interventions I recommended. #OTalk |
| laughingmind @laughingmind @dmay_ot 3/ #OTalk Interaction visible in https://t.co/n7LtfKyI9T My Qn - anything else you'd add to brief them on #HomeMods process? How would u assist from afar? |
| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT So a passionate Occupation focused proud profession- but Question 2 How has your professional identity changed since you qualified or started training? #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @dmay_ot @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT do you think a uniform or some sort of identifier is useful to highlight our professional identifier to others? I think it many settings it does #OTalk |
 | Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @FionaPageOT Being able to focus on activities that are meaningful to my clients. My clients have been a big influence on my professional identity and still do now #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @CeeCeeOT Sure @theRCOT can help with this! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT My external factor- It's always a delicate balance because I am also an online influencer and I also need to do some autism self advocacy work from time to time. So, I am hoping to use my proud accomplishments from what I have overcome to share OT's distinct value. #otalk |
 | Libby StudentOT @libby_fincham @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello. Mostly lurking... #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @AideenKa @FionaPageOT A short-term community rehabilitation service...I love the fact, I work with patients in their own homes. Working in an acute system is a different set of skills but I think we're still able to provide an element of the above which is unique #OTalk |
 | Michelle Perryman-Fox 🦊 @Symbolic_Life @LynneGoodacre so interesting, this is definitely a #OTALK I should connect with following my final data analysis...! |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT That's so lovely to hear. I'm glad you were able to help get him a dx earlier than he might have #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT RT @LynneGoodacre: Mine too @emmaspellmanOT #OTalk https://t.co/OUxQQ14sfH |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT Being holistic and client-centred! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget the hashtag, otherwise other people what so what you’re saying #otalk |
| Nat Jones @natlouj @FionaPageOT How do you catch a cloud 🌥 and pin it down 🎶 🤔 multi-facited concept, defining is personal to the individual? #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy I find "OTing” myself helpful too #OTalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope It has opened up opportunities such as (us😂) to engage with different networks! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT Ooh- I think being around the TEDx world- last 2 years were being a curator and now I am part of another team, that really has been a cool opportunity to work with other powerful individuals while also promoting OT at the same time when I have the opportunity. #otalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT It definitely helps if your team understand & value occupation. I love any opportunity for MDT working & building a better understanding of what we can all add to a patient's journey, whilst working towards the same goal. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy I find "OTing” myself helpful too #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT I'm not sure its changed but perhaps what I didn't realise when training was the amount of generic working that is expected and the challenges that brings in order to maintain professional identity #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Ruth_Hawley @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy absolutely! I have been doing this since I found out my autism diagnosis for the most part. #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @FionaPageOT For me it has become more meaningful and stronger #OTalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @FionaPageOT I find my professional identity has changed as our role needs to match the demands of the service. This often involves facilitating discharges #otalk. |

| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @JasminLaffy @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT Thanks Jasmine :) #OTalk |
| Amir dar @AmirdarOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ Definitely, I experienced this in my second placement in acute mental health , as there was a push to get patients out as soon as they were "medically fit" #OTalk |

| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @Ruth_Hawley @KatrinaBaldryOT @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT lovely @Ruth_Hawley I wonder (Q1) #OTalk how many have a sense of how much we feel we belong to our community of OT practice & if that affects our sense of prof ID |

| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT I think now that I'm working my professional identity is a bit more concrete than when I was a student because I have a specific set of responsibilities as a mental health OT #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT RT @FionaPageOT: @emmaspellmanOT @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ @theRCOT I totally agree, i see opportunity more now #OTalk |
| Lauren Scarisbrick @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT #OTalk before I started University I didnt feel I had a professional identity. But now I shout OT loud and proud and feel that I identify within #OccupationalTherapy as a community as well as my chosen career path. |
| Emma Rodrigues @EmRodriguesOTS It has given me stronger connections which has enabled me to be a more confident OT student - #otalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy RT @Ruth_Hawley: @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT @JasminLaffy I find "OTing” myself helpful too #OTalk |
| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT @Maddy_OT Placements are such a valuable experience, it all builds and shapes us #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @LynneGoodacre you have such a wonderful professional identity @LynneGoodacre one I aspire too #OTalk |
 | Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @FionaPageOT It has shifted as I've changed jobs and roles. I feel more secure in my sense of identity now. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @FionaPageOT: @Maddy_OT Placements are such a valuable experience, it all builds and shapes us #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @mrsmcinburtott @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT I think it many settings it helps, perhaps in a hospital setting or community setting where many professionals are visiting...I know that it has been discussed that colleagues from certain settings shouldn't wear uniform as its detrimental to the therapeutic relationship #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ #OTalk my professional identity has definitely strengthened as I became more confident in my roles. working in education gives me a privileged position to view so many aspects of the profession |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre @LynneGoodacre As we are tweeting I'm wondering what we actually mean by a professional identity - an internal confidence, a set of shared skills/values, self-image or sense of belonging to a community or something else? #OTalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT Taking part in my first #OTalk tonight hosted by @FionaPageOT exploring professional identity. One of my current University modules is all about professional identity. Looking forward to it! @OTalk_ #OccupationalTherapy #OTstudent |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that # otherwise people will not see what you’re saying #OTalk https://t.co/iUQRnmEZ3h |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT @Maddy_OT I agree with this. I also got the benefit of being on TEDx stage twice as a speaker. Those experiences also toughened me up because I didn't want to look like an idiot on it. #otalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT #OTalk i agree - with experience comes confidence |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT It’s grown stronger and clearer for me overall, as I’ve learnt more and been able to articulate more about it. Confidence plays a part in it for me too. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmRodriguesOTS absolutely. I think social media has really changed the landscape of OT. It has helped us to find like minded peers as friends and colleagues for decades to come! #otalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ Q2 #OTalk yes with different roles, different CPD activity, all the different people you provide service too & those you work with, occupations you engage in related to role and subsequent identity & environments change it I think |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @AideenKa @FionaPageOT #OTalk thats so interesting isnt it. does that dilute our professional identity do you think or enhance it ( or maybe both!) |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi @Zuny312 you must include the hashtag in all of your tweets otherwise people will not see them. #otalk |
| ✨Eleanor Cecil @El_Cecil_ @FionaPageOT Crucible was working in All-Wales brain injury vocrehab project - my manager was a very inspiring OT & led me to train. I saw what was possible within the role & the sheer scope inspired me #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @emmaspellmanOT @Ruth_Hawley @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT I truly believe that because we are such a small profession (in comparison to other professions), there is this unwritten rule re: the community feel of OT's when they work together/ support each other & helps to maintain professional identity #OTalk |
| Carolinewoodger @carolinewoodger @FionaPageOT #otalk after 15 years I'm finally back in a specific OT role rather than a practitioner role. Feels really good to have the professional boundaries |

| #hellomynameis Jade @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT I would have said my professional identity was my education, eg college student!

| Francesca @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT I feel more secure in my identity now. Generic working has challenged this along the way, but I find regular conversations with OT colleagues and having OT students on placements has helped me. #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT My professional identity has grown despite years of working in a generic care coordination role. For me identity can continue to grow and be rooted in OT even when I recognise the tasks I’m doing in any particular job role are not all about OT. #OTalk |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre @LynneGoodacre If I think of my career - OT then specialised, also added postgrad student, researcher, lecturer, manager, leader, personal coach #OTalk |

 | Shannon Stendall @SStendallOT @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT I have to agree Lauren! Although I knew what OT was, I wasn’t sure where I would fit into the profession! After completing my 3 placements, I now know exactly where I ‘belong’ #OTalk |
 | kt marie @KtBergson @FionaPageOT Q1 identity means knowing what you do and explaining it in everyday language to those you work with. I think OTs are challenged to convey the breadth and creativity that is possible in the profession. influences= mentors, service users, other professionals, study/uni #otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT That's true, aside from confidence though I think I have a stronger professional identity in the sense that I have a clearer idea of what makes me an OT rather than for example an activity coordinator or support worker 😊 #OTalk |
| Francesca @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT I would like to add to that with saying that reflective practice has been crucial to me in ensuring I maintain my professional identity. #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT #OTalk thats great - Ive always wondered how people keep their identity in generic roles |

| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch My professional identity has definitely improved since I qualified 2 yrs ago. Starting w simple things like confidently being able to describe what #OccupationalTherapists do! Next up would be: advocating for your patients occupational needs in ward round & report writing #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @KatrinaBaldryOT @Ruth_Hawley @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT agreed @KatrinaBaldryOT, in some areas for sure but we are 'Royal', unique and diverse - we make a impact ...small change eh? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SStendallOT @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT This is a process that will take time. Sometimes you will find your niches. Sometimes your niches will find you. #otalk |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT #OTalk brilliant. Im working on a final year module looking at professional identity and we are encouraging students to continue to keep reflections beyond graduation so thats great to hear this has helped you |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT In a way, I think "generic working" focuses u to strengthen your sense of professional identity even more, so it becomes intrinsic and more creative. #OTalk |
| Nat Jones @natlouj @FionaPageOT Ooo good Q! Think it fluctuates, strong sense of OT self coming out of university 🎓 then something happens on the journey which influences and questions your identity, like a chameleon you adapt to environments & reflect organisational culture, mine has grown stronger 💪#OTalk |
| kt marie @KtBergson @Ruth_Hawley @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT I was challenged by a senior OT about the use of the term #genericworking is that downplaying #sharedskills within a team? #otalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT In my experience I think it sometimes dilutes it. However, we are still focused on providing the best support for patients and encouraging them to stay as independent as possible. Maybe the role is more focused on health and wellbeing #otalk. |
| ed sum 🏳️🌈 ❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @LynneGoodacre All of these 😀 Having applied knowledge of the shared models, philosophy and occupational science gives us something that other professions do not have #Otalk |

| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT I used to just explain OT by just giving an example. But now (depending on their understanding) I give examples and explain so much more as there’s so much more value to OT than assessments and rehabilitation. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT definitely. TEDx event curating is a pretty new frontier for OT's to explore. We as a profession are quite new to it even though many of us are fans of these videos and some of us have given talks on that stage. There is a lot of potential, but there's also a lot of risk. #otalk |

| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT I recognise it can be hard and don’t think I’ve not been frustrated by what job roles have demanded of me at times. But for me professional identity is deeper than just what I do, but about who I am. #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT #OTalk great to hear so many people are using reflection in generic roles to help them maintain a professional identity and keep occupation central to what they do . |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @carolinewoodger @FionaPageOT Welcome back to the world of OT Caroline :) #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @Maddy_OT @FionaPageOT Definitely #OTalk |
| Francesca @francesca0587 @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT My employer is really good at pushing career development& so a lot of the reflections I've done have been mandatory as part of my progression/additional University modules, but I've kept it going on my own now. I enjoy the process of reflection (found it hard at uni tho) #OTalk. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @natlouj @FionaPageOT Yes- that's why if I do get to implement my dream final exam... although I know the students will wonder WTH was I thinking, they may look back later and think, "Now I know why Bill used his creativity and experience to train us to think about our professional identities." #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT I recognise it can be hard and don’t think I’ve not been frustrated by what job roles have de… |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @KtBergson @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT I believe generic working is about upskilling and acquiring skills which aren't necessarily traditional to an OT role. I think this is great but its easy to lose OT specific skills. Thoughts? #OTalk |
| deb_OT @dmay_ot @Ruth_Hawley @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT Totally agree with this. #otalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT I'm still trying to figure it out :) #otalk |
| Nat Jones @natlouj @mrsmcinburtott @AideenKa @FionaPageOT We can adapt and are influenced by the organisational demands but I worry that this can compromise our professional identity and shape it in a way that moves us away from core values of occupation focus 🤔 #OTalk |
 | Tamsyn Richardson @OTRichardson4 @FionaPageOT #OTalk interesting question! I had this conversation with my manager recently after my ID badge says community MH practitioner. We talked about the importance of being recognised as an #OT by my colleagues and clients! |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @ciderwithsophie @FionaPageOT Yes, I found this too. Almost that in knowing what isn’t a core part of your professional identity puts you more in touch with what is. The contrast helps bring it into focus. #OTalk |
| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT To move on slightly Question 3 How does our professional identity need to develop in the future and what will the opportunities and challenges be? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @francesca0587 @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT For me, it is a lot of self motivation for career development. Academia is my ultimate goal and I know I need to do what I can to get myself there. Of course, giving back to the profession also brings a lot of satisfaction, too! #otalk |
| ed sum 🏳️🌈 ❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @mrsmcinburtott @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT and with clinical and personal experience I can see the power of occupations in our lives; my professional identity has grown with wisdom #Otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @GeorgiaOakesOT @FionaPageOT I think it also changes depending on who your teammates are and how you need to differentiate yourself from them - explaining what makes you different than a physio in hospital, explaining what makes you different than a psychologist in a mental health clinic, etc. #OTalk |

| kt marie @KtBergson @LynneGoodacre I wonder sometimes about #OTs that are quietly brilliant and helping people in extraordinary ways but somehow that skill is not widely know. Identity sure has to be shared and communicated well to be solid and not just inner belief and confidence #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi @ejsprey just one t in #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT I will use back the TEDx curating example I gave. Opportunity- technically they are open opportunities to help get the latest and most relevant messages we want the public to hear out there. Challenge- TEDx curation is still a relative unknown to us as a profession. #otalk |
| #hellomynameis Jade @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT I think OT is such a fantastic profession, but we need to make sure we are shouting about it, so everyone knows too! OTs need to take every opportunity to talk about it, and get the recognition they deserve 💚 #OTalk |
| Francesca @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT @mrsmcinburtott @Ruth_Hawley Absolutely agree with this. Support so important #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #otalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @natlouj @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT Absolutely I think it is important that other health care professionals have a clear understanding of our role. Maybe it's educating others more #otalk. |

| Tamsyn Richardson @OTRichardson4 @FionaPageOT #OTalk I think my identity as an #OT has developed since being qualified. I have become more confident in my professional identity and being able to express this to my colleagues and people I work with. |
| Lauren Scarisbrick @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT #OTalk I feel like my biggest challenge will be establishing my professional identity as a qualified OT after I graduate. I am excited to become an OT and continue promoting the profession as much as I can! |
 | Najia Waqas @Zuny312 @francesca0587 @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT I agree with you Francesca. IT's a skill which develops with time. I can see the difference when I compare my first year's placement reflections with my third year's placement reflections. #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT however, I think its important to recognise when you are working beyond your scope of practice and handback to the relevant professions #OTalk (2/2) |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT More awareness in which I am trying to do this through blogging #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ Q3 #OTalk professional socialisation is a common theme amongst literature related to professional ID, I think this will change shape with advances in SoMe and digital platform |
| kt marie @KtBergson @KatrinaBaldryOT @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT I think that was the point. Its easy to say #genericworking is not OT. Depends on the setting &the team you're in. I think as long as there is scope to feel work is occupational and effective which is I guess is what you're suggesting about skills #otalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT RT @OTalk_: Question 3 #otalk https://t.co/cunlI6ydSq |
 | Emily Sprengel @ejsprengelOT Professional identity to me is my role within the service and the skills I can give, to aid the service user and their families/ carers to allow them to remain in their own home by meeting their own individual needs #OTalk |
| #hellomynameis Jade @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT Personally, I think taking work place opportunities and developing my CPD will enable me to enhance my professional identity. I'm most nervous about shifting from student to qualified which could be a challenge, so need take the opportunities from the team #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @FionaPageOT Challenges will always be diluting of roles, less funds, negative influences.The positive is that usually helps galvernise the people who are motivated to make an impact and look at change positively #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ #OTalk i think one challenge will be to ensure that globally we can continue to strengthen our professional identity and dont fragment as we work within different services |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @KatrinaBaldryOT @KtBergson @FionaPageOT For me, generic working definitely added to my skill set. I also agree that in that context it was easy to lose confidence in and certainly not always get opportunity to practise OT specific skills. #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @ciderwithsophie @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT And if possible, we need to add to the body of evidence about the beneficial effects occupational therapy can have on people's lives. Without it, we risk not gaining the attention of commissioners & having services decommissioned & replaced by other professions! #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 #OTalk we need to highlight what an invaluable service we deliver, that it is unique and gain feedback from service users who will advocate our service time and time again because we listen |

| Dr Lynne Goodacre @LynneGoodacre @KtBergson So are we saying there are two components - inner belief, self-perception, identity etc and external perception? #Otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT I think other professions (esp. medicine) are increasingly aware of the importance of meaningful activity which means this can't be our unique selling point any more - we need to identify ourselves based on the specific approaches we take and our unique evidence base #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ #OTalk i agree Emma we need digital literacy skills firmly embedded in our skill set if we are to continue to enhance our professional identity and meet the needs of our clients |

 | Angie Hodgson @AngieHodgson2 @FionaPageOT As the diversity of our roles increases we will need to have a strong internal OT identity to ensure that we stay on an occupationally focussed path. Emerging areas and more generic work provide both opportunities and challenges #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi @Abi21643842 you need to include the hashtag in your tweets #OTalk |

| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @JasminLaffy @FionaPageOT :) and it's about putting your own stamp on things #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT In terms of development, I believe we will need to continue to keep people at home and almost have extensions of acute hospitals in the community to prevent hospital admissions (both in physical & mental health). I believe OT's have a key role to play in this aspect #OTalk (1/2) |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @natlouj @FionaPageOT #OTalk myself and @FionaPageOT are running a module for our 3rd years on professional identity so hopefully by giving them lots of opportunities to consider their current knowledge and skills set we can prepare them for the workforce and give them prof identity & confidence |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @RebeccaCrouch @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT Exactly. If only they were part of this chat!! #OTalk |
| Francesca @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT I think we need to create/build strong networks with fellow OTs, continue participating in free CPD activities such as #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @KatrinaBaldryOT @KtBergson @FionaPageOT For me, my bigger frustration in my previous role with generic working was not about my professional identity but that for those we were working with, that their occupational needs appeared to be less prioritised and addressed #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @FionaPageOT Q3 #OTalk I'm thinking of the wonderful Casson lecture provided by @SKantartzis which tweet will not do justice to, but our identity changing to adjust to one that further facilitates social transformations through occupation in our changing complex world (Kantartzis, 2019) |

| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 #OTalk this is already happening today I have supervised an OT in a transgender clinic, in Sheffield one in social prescribing in London and one in mental health vocational rehab in Ireland |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @FionaPageOT Speaking to the OTs I worked with, I wonder if there is a link between the evidence base for OT interventions and how our PI develops. We all know we need more robust research evidence to support what we do. Would this make us more confidence about our PI? #otalk |
| Nat Jones @natlouj @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT 😁 Dreams into reality 👍 #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT Challenges- continue to be reduced funding, lack of resources, increased staff sickness/ stress and ?reduced number of qualified OT's due to Uni funding cuts. We need to continue to shout about the profession & demonstrate its value across a broad variety of settings (2/2) #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT However a challenge to do is because people are unaware people may want OT’s to do talks but may not know where to look. That’s why we need to make more noise! #OTalk |
| kt marie @KtBergson @LynneGoodacre I suppose there is a meeting point. The OT believes certain things about self/ those around belief something. Not always the same but cross over. How else can we work with colleagues& organisations? But sometimes there is a lot of discussions like 'more than equipment'. #otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT For example I think memes like this are potentially becoming less accurate in terms of our professional identity since there are many doctors now who are involved in "adding life to days" #OTalk https://t.co/Ny24UZ2TFf |
| Najia Waqas @Zuny312 @OTalk_ After becoming a qualified OT, the biggest challenge would be to keep our professional ID unique though there is role blurring among many professionals, we need to distinguish through our clinical reasoning, practice, up to date knowledge and professional guidelines. #OTalk |

| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @FionaPageOT I think a challenge is explaining to someone what we do as OT's. Considering a job role in MH compared to a job role in,a physical setting- they are completely different! I suppose its a case of remembering our core focus of enabling independence which remains the same. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT I think @ShawnPhippsPhD's one is a good one. Of course, they also should give Helene Polatajko's one a listen, too. #otalk |

This was very much part of my conversations last Friday in exploring a new potential #RoleEmergingPlacement. #OTalk |
 | Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @Ruth_Hawley @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT There's a big element of it being about how I think too, which doesn't disappear in a generic role #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaOakesOT @FionaPageOT This is why I have a headache on how to creatively develop a MH placement at my workplace. I have 3 coming up next month! #otalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @mrsmcinburtott @LynneGoodacre @KtBergson I agree, but also ability to put their ot lens on in any situation. #OTalk |
| Lauren Scarisbrick @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT #OTalk being confident to shout out about the profession and let everyone know how great OT is! |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch I haven't read all of the campaign materials but @TheRCOT #ImprovingLivesSavingMoney resources I have read are great at highlighting benefits of OT in specific areas: https://t.co/dfWgyKfemw #OTalk |
| #hellomynameis Jade @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT I think a lot of skills need to be continuously developed, as times progress. Keeping up to date with these through medias like #OTalk and learning opportunities will allow our professional identity to constantly grow! 💚🌟 |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @colourful_ot @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT Agreed. Working in an acute setting where models are not used is difficult though #OTalk |

| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @GeorgiaOakesOT @FionaPageOT I would tend to say enabling participation as well as enabling independence - not everyone has to be able to do everything by themselves, the important thing is everyone having the opportunity to take part #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT #otalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT I think everyone should be expected to do this mandatory, to ensure shared learning and connections under professional standards. #OTalk |
| Francesca @francesca0587 @FionaPageOT Speaking about me personally- I want to get better at shouting about what I do and why it's important to those in charge of the ££! Evidence based practice/use outcome measures important #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @natlouj @FionaPageOT well- I don't think my students will ever imagine the final for a leadership class can be super stressful... lol! #otalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Internationalisation!!!! 🌍 #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @FionaPageOT Social media skills - using these skills to promote and educate the public on what we do #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT OT wise- I can combine both. But, spending so much for international conferences- no time off and money for autism conferences. :( #otalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT Research skills, so that we can say "this is who we are, this is what we do, and this is the evidence behind it" 😁 #OTalk |
| Third Year OT @Maddy_OT @FionaPageOT Getting more teenagers to know about OT as a potential career path! Selling OT to the future generations of therapists, think RCOT 'back to school' initiative #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SusanGriffiths5 @FionaPageOT We don't need to master all of the latest platforms. We just need to know where our audience are. #OTALK |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LaurenemilyOT: @FionaPageOT #OTalk being confident to shout out about the profession and let everyone know how great OT is! |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @FionaPageOT For me, the ability and confidence to articulate professional identity is crucial. Having a good professional identity is all very well but unless we talk about it and tell others about it, it makes very little impact. #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch So true! I would have never been able to train as an OT without the grant or bursary. It is a real shame that Government scraped these. And as a result, there are OT shortages today across the UK. The Government have to bring these back to help our workforce to grow! #OTalk |
| Dr Lynne Goodacre @LynneGoodacre Resilience, self-confidence, self-worth, courage to speak up about what we do, dealing with our inner critic #OTalk |
| ed sum 🏳️🌈 ❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @GeorgiaOakesOT @FionaPageOT Good thing we Occupational Therapists thrive on challenge 😀 #Otalk |
| Emma Rodrigues @EmRodriguesOTS CPD opportunities 😍 #otalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT Confidence, belief and forgive me for being slightly controversial but probably a bit or arrogance as we know how amazing OT is and we need to ensure others do too! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LaurenemilyOT @FionaPageOT I actually dropped a line about OT's 100th anniversary as a profession in my second TEDx talk. I was like, "Why not?" #Otalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT Yes, this is a very good point! #OTalk |

| Fiona Page @FionaPageOT @EmRodriguesOTS We need to stay curious and seek out wider opportunities #OTalk |
| Tamsyn Richardson @OTRichardson4 @FionaPageOT #OTalk we need to promote ourselves more and be innovative in how and where we work. Put ourselves forward into role emerging settings and challenge our way of working and the evidence base behind our interventions. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT the American saying will be "tooting our horns". #otalk https://t.co/AFW6I0mTTS |
| Nat Jones @natlouj @FionaPageOT #OTalk system leadership https://t.co/7ayqEcjfMs |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @FionaPageOT I do think learning to think strategically/encourage strategic/wider thinking is key. So leadership and creativity comes from each team member #OTalk |
| Amir dar @AmirdarOT @FionaPageOT I think the use of apprenticeship schemes will help with promoting OT as it will appeal to a larger demographic #otalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @emmaspellmanOT @FionaPageOT Absolutely agree! Critical thinking and reflection are VERY valuable #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @Maddy_OT @FionaPageOT #OTalk YES and getting rid of the myth that people who identify as male shouldn't work in health and social care jobs including AHP roles |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT Not sure arrogance is the right word but I know where you are coming from. We need to stop downplaying what we do as a profession #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT I think the use of assistive technology is hugely under-used and under-estimated. I think as we move through generations, we need to upskill to continue to keep up with new technology and what the benefits are #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT I see, I see! I'm already struggling fatigue wise to be honest, I just can't reject an opportunity! #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @AmirdarOT @FionaPageOT #OTalk it will be an area to watch in terms of how people gain qualifications in the future |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT You've just got to capture your'e growing professional ID, haven't you #OTalk |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Yes! I didn't find out about OT until I was in my 20s! At school we just talked about being doctors & nurses (neither of which were right for me). #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmRodriguesOTS And also sometimes international collaboration opportunities on research! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only five minutes left any final thoughts? #OTalk https://t.co/ko8DlUDw4l |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @FionaPageOT I believe that it's also important to gain feedback from patients/ relatives/ carers to establish how they feel our role could develop and how we can adapt practice to optimise support & independence #OTalk |
| Amir dar @AmirdarOT @KatrinaBaldryOT Assistive tech is amazing I had the opportunity to have a placement with the @AceCentre and love the integration of assistive tech and promoting occupation #otalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @Ruth_Hawley @emmaspellmanOT @FionaPageOT I really do think critical thinking and reasoning skills should be everyones responsibilities not just if looking for promotion #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @AideenKa @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT Maybe you should introduce one, e.g. use the person-environment-occupational performance model to frame problems and solutions in an occupation-focused way when presenting cases to the MDT? 😊 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT try to do 8 conferences globally in a year... lol! That was what 2018 was like for me. #otalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT ”Blowing our own trumpet” here #OTalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @AmirdarOT @AceCentre It would be great to have a forum where we could share learning #OTalk |
| kt marie @KtBergson @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT I suppose it could be both threat and opportunity #otalk understanding of benefit of meaningful occupation but where does it fit in 10 minute GP consult - supporting that to actually happen? Interesting with people like @drchatterjeeuk discussing lifestyle more |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KatrinaBaldryOT @AmirdarOT @AceCentre I think #otalk is a start. Maybe another Twitter chat where we can regularly meet? |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT For some reason it is easier to shy away from the profession then to promote it. Yet, it's so important to tell people what we do #otalk. |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @RebeccaCrouch 100% agree with this...I've done a lot of work with local secondary schools which has resulted in many applications for work experience placements weeks #OTalk |

| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott @OTalk_ #OTalk what a great discussion. So much passion for how we maintain our professional identity. thanks for hosting @FionaPageOT |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Great list Lynne. I would just add leadship skills, good occupational balance (which you would hope would come to us naturally) & confidence! #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @SusanGriffiths5 @FionaPageOT Yeah, can't think of the word I need! #OTalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT Yes this is a very true and important point! We do have more than one core focus- unfortunately I didn't have the word count to express how amazing OT is as much as I wanted too haha! #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT agreed @ciderwithsophie oh & I like your twitter name! These skills have to be core to our professional ID #OTalk |
| Emma Rodrigues @EmRodriguesOTS @FionaPageOT Agreed - once you start, you get the bug for it 😂 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch I also did not find out about OT's until my 20's. I always wondered what would I have been had I remained a math nerd and I had smooth sailings to get to graduate school in it. #otalk |
| Katrina Baldry @KatrinaBaldryOT @BillWongOT @AmirdarOT @AceCentre Great idea! It would be interesting to see how AT differs from country to country and how accessible it is for our patients #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: @emmaspellmanOT @FionaPageOT Absolutely agree! Critical thinking and reflection are VERY valuable #OTalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @colourful_ot @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT ooh do you have a link to that model handy? #otalk. |
| #HelloMyNameIs Carolyn @CeeCeeOT @KatrinaBaldryOT @AmirdarOT @AceCentre I can recommend @theOThub for this #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @OT_KateT @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT Ooh yes. And of course thinking influences behaviour and actions. #OTalk. For me, that identity/focus was so deep it never got lost. I trained myself to ask about all sorts of other things such as meds but I never had to prompt myself to be interested in occupational matters |
| Rebecca Crouch, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @KatrinaBaldryOT Yes Katrina. I should speak to my service about doing this too (so I can get the time to do it)! #OTalk |
| ✨Eleanor Cecil @El_Cecil_ @FionaPageOT To ensure the value & quality of OT provision. Political awareness. But never lose sight of the wonder & power of our therapeutic modality - activity #OTalk |
 | Emily @__emilyw___ @FionaPageOT I feel that we need to remain holistic within our care. Not becoming too focussed on one aspect of the person, such as just mobility. Continuing to look at the whole picture and not forgetting that. :) #OTalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @FionaPageOT A combination of confident promoting our profession whilst researching and developing the evidence base to use as justification for more investment in our skills Also ownership of our areas of speciality - putting our professional stamp on the interventions we deliver best #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT I wouldn't have the stamina 😂 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Ruth_Hawley @emmaspellmanOT @FionaPageOT and if we have lived experiences as service users, we need to develop the courage to share our experiences as knowledge to our peers! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @natlouj: @FionaPageOT #OTalk system leadership https://t.co/7ayqEcjfMs |
| Angie Hodgson @AngieHodgson2 @FionaPageOT #OTalk We need to develop our profile not only by shouting about what we do but by collecting the outcome data to prove how valuable we are. We need to be pushing why we should be commissioned as a service and why we need more OTs. No one will do this for us! |
| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ what a passionate about our professional identity community of occupational therapists we are! #OTalk |
 | @mileswashbrook ⭐️⭐️⭐️ @mileswashbrook @OTalk_ Challenge the status quo to assist patients live safer and happier lives, professional identity depends upon it ! #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @KtBergson @FionaPageOT @drchatterjeeuk Yes, I think it's a really positive development but it does mean we can't just define ourselves as "the people who recognise the value of occupation" since that's now part of everyone's role - we have to position ourselves as specialists in *enabling* that occupation #OTalk |

| Nat Jones @natlouj @GeorgiaVineOT @FionaPageOT I would say 'confidence in self' #OTalk however I think we have to continally create opportunities to develop and mature this and exposure to challenge, reflection and improvement experiences are part of this, helping professional confidence grow, channelling the inner JA 🤣 https://t.co/Sjr4JdCoQc |

| OTEmmaS @emmaspellmanOT #OTalk definitely fuels the love for our profession 💚👍 |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @colourful_ot @FionaPageOT This is such a good point. Perhaps those that have been in practice for a while may be unsure about their research skills. Continuing training in this and refreshers whilst in practice would be fab I think! Keeping up to date with research is essential. #OTalk |
| sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott another great #OTalk topic for our 3rd years as they consider the framework within #6OT509 |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @Ruth_Hawley @mrsmcinburtott @FionaPageOT Ha ha, yes! My prompt lists are always things like meds, symptoms, documentation etc etc, meanwhile I've got totally distracted by the nitty gritty of how and why the person is doing some completely irrelevant seeming (never actually irrelevant) occupation! #OTalk |
| Aideen Ni Chearbhaill @AideenKa @colourful_ot @JadeElizabethOT @FionaPageOT Thank you :). How exciting! #OTalk |
| Sophie is my name. @ciderwithsophie @AngieHodgson2 @FionaPageOT Exactly!! I think universities need to do this better. Not just outcome measures etc, but ways to try to prove to commissioners in other ways. E.g I collated data of inappropriate referrals to evidence our time was being wasted #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OT_KateT @AngieHodgson2 @FionaPageOT @CarolineMillsOT That's why it's always a good idea to plant a seed in students' minds- if you really are serious about research or think you got something to offer, it can be a good idea to invest in building a diverse mix of profession relationships. #otalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @mrsmcinburtott Really enjoyed the talk tonight- some interesting discussions. It is also helping me get used to using twitter. The #OTalk on the 28th Jan has gone straight in my diary! |

 | Barbara Ann Smith @Babsyslapsy @FionaPageOT My professional identity has evolved from knowledge transferred to sharing this with patients in a person centred way to help them master skills to improve qol #OTalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @BillWongOT @AngieHodgson2 @FionaPageOT @CarolineMillsOT I think there are so many seeds planted in my brain at the moment none of them have space to grow! But I have got so much better at talking to people and expanding my world in the last year, that's the plan to continue for now.... #OTalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT That's great, what area of MH is this in? I just had my MH placement- my first ever experience working in MH. I had to keep reminding myself not to get TOO tied up/obsessed in completely understanding the MH conditions but focusing more on how they impact performance! #OTalk |
| Georgia Oakes @GeorgiaOakesOT @BillWongOT @FionaPageOT Sounds like an interesting area! I’m sure the students will enjoy it and learn lots of valuable skills... and build on their professional identity! #Otalk |
| Angie Hodgson @AngieHodgson2 @OTalk_ That's good timing...I've just redone mine so I'll be interested to see everyone's views #OTalk |
 | Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @dmay_ot @FionaPageOT I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this. I was very involved in promoting OT as part of the uni society & had/have a clear vision of what I feel is truly OT but feel restricted by the reality of the role within the confines of the NHS #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @FionaPageOT To continue adding to the evidence base. There is a lot of movement and role development going on such as social prescribing where OTs feel "we already do that" but if we aren't evidencing it and shouting about it, how can we expect people to know #OTalk |

| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @FionaPageOT I feel it's the holistic thinking/approach that underpins my OT identity. It becomes apparent in practice that a lot of other professions are focused on just what they are doing and as OTs we tend to sew all of that together because we are looking at the person as a whole #otalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @AngieHodgson2 @DerbyOT @FionaPageOT My #OTalk is on 18 Feb when I'm hosting jointly with @WintRebecca to discuss about #homelessness and #OccupationalTherapy. All details available on @OTalk_ website. Be great to have you join us. |

| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @mrsmcinburtott @emmaspellmanOT @OTalk_ I agree. And digital literacy skills are very valuable in diversifying the ways in which we can articulate our professional identity. #OTalk |

| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @JadeElizabethOT @emmaspellmanOT @FionaPageOT The transition from student to newly qualified can be a challenge at times (it was for me). Peers, colleagues, employers and preceptorship are all good sources of support for this stage of your career journey and in continuing to grow your professional identity #OTalk |
| Ruth Hawley @Ruth_Hawley @emmaspellmanOT @KatrinaBaldryOT @OTalk_ @FionaPageOT Good point. Feeling a sense of belonging to the OT community is definitely linked with my professional identity. #DBBB Doing, being, becoming and belonging are all in there. #OTalk |
 | Hannah Spencer @hspenceruk Good to see Twitter feed alive during your #OTalk @FionaPageOT! Looking forward to catching up on transcript when available - brain was too busy to follow live.

Both at the university and in my health board role I am surrounded in creativity and enthusiasm for the profession and it makes me proud! #OTalk |
