Hi all, it’s time for tonight’s #OTalk. @geekyOT here on the @OTalk_ account tonight, who’s out there? Say hi even if you’re lurking
Gemma Riches @gemma_riches
Hi. I’m a student lurking! Hoping to just watch and take part in some future talks! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
First rule of #OTalk - always remember the hashtag or you’ll end up on Clarissa’s Naught Step 😂

Hello peeps! #otalk
Becky OTHallam @othallam
@theRCOT @OTalk_ #OTalk Hi part of a student group who want to submit and abstract :-)
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Since I am planning to come to #rcot2019, I know I will need to submit something soon. #otalk
Becky OTHallam @othallam
also a student lurking and first time on twitter trying ot work this out! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTSalfordUni One thing I have done as a serial presenter at OT conferences is- I tailor my abstracts to the submission format. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT I missed the fun for 2 straight years already because of my busy schedule. 😛 #otalk

@julieannelowe1 @OTSalfordUni @SLawsonOT I know I am not a researcher. But I know my work has value, especially autism. So I somehow made things work! #otalk

@OTSalfordUni @othallam #otalk thanks . Also a student hoping to submit. Can we do this in a group?

@RRule_OT @GeekyOT Glad to have you here :) if you do decide to tweet, make sure you use the #otalk hashtag so everyone can see/respond to your message

@OT_Child @OTSalfordUni Submitting to AOTA is different vs. RCOT, CAOT, or Australian. #otalk

@MassDecoration @SLawsonOT @OTSalfordUni @OTalk_ @GeekyOT I do it the other way- do topics I am good at fit the conference? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTSalfordUni Then I think I know where my bold idea of teaching OT’s how to organize TEDx events will fit. Might lack references, but it is relatively innovative because I know I probably am the first OT licensee ever. #otalk

@OTDanceQueen @GeekyOT Tonight we’re discussing conference abstracts - the COT conference crew are on hand to answer any questions/support you 🙂 #otalk

@SadieBlueOT I think the first question I will ask is- how well do you think the profession as a whole know about your topic? #otalk
Becky OTHallam @othallam
@OTSalfordUni We want to create a peer support group that helps to solidify our OT identity as practicing individuals once we qualify, and share our experiences of setting one up. Is this a good idea for an abstract? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTBrianNY @OTalk_ @GeekyOT This week is about abstract submissions for #rcot2019. #otalk

@SadieBlueOT @OTSalfordUni I think that sounds like a decent abstract idea. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
I know I haven’t thought of autism stuff yet. I am hoping to come up with something. #OTalk
Ellabanks00@gmail.com @ellabanks00
@OTSalfordUni @othallam #otalk no not clear on student guidelines at all. Only see a link to send submission.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@ZoeHaddock I think perspective will be one. When I do autism ones for other conferences, mine usually stand out in perspective because not many OT’s like me go on a world tour like I do. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@ZoeHaddock Another one will be- some topics that are groundbreaking that you are also passionate about. #otalk
Becky OTHallam @othallam
@OTSalfordUni No where can we find them? #otalk

@margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT People often think conference is way above their ability but it's great to promote the everyday which someone may not have considered. Sharing practice ideas that create opportunities #OTalk

RT @OTSalfordUni:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT @colourful_ot And practice makes perfect! At first I found strange about this format. Now I am used to it because some other conferences also use this way. #otalk

@teresa_buchan @margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT I second that comment. I remembered my first presentation and it was surreal to step in and present rather than being an attendee. #otalk
Teresa Buchan @teresa_buchan
@OTSalfordUni @OTalk_ That's good to know there are some free places as we had a service user present a few years back and they had to pay the full rate as non member. #OTalk
Gemma Riches @gemma_riches
@SLawsonOT I’m currently planning a community project as part of my second year. My focus was fostering mutual relationships between professionals and residents within care homes using art. I felt this was important with the increasing use of agency staff and high staff turnovers. #OTalk
Teresa Buchan @teresa_buchan
@BillWongOT @margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT Its about accepting that your worthy. You don't have to be a researcher or educator. The value of having the clinician offering practice ideas adds value as much as hearing the service users stories #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SLawsonOT @ZoeHaddock I second that comment. I know my perspective is rare because I have done my homework. Doing some homework will be good before you submit things. #otalk

@SLawsonOT I once worked as an agency support worker and my first meeting with residents would often involve personal care. I hope to work with residents to create posters or visual aids showing information they want future carers to be aware of. Allowing them to play and active role #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@teresa_buchan @margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT Actually in my case when I did my first one, it was my first time doing so with a blended OT and service user perspective. At that time I was a student. #otalk

@margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT I have to admit i looked today at the submission page and was put off by having to select the category first without any real clarity of what they were. Will be going back to reflect on these after tonight #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@margaretOT360 I think it depends on the comfort level of the presenter. But more the merrier usually is what I see with first timers at major conferences. #otalk

@OTSalfordUni @margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT Its still daunting, even trying to see if yours fits those categories. Must have faith and ignore the doubt. What's the worst that can happen? Am declined but can learn from it! #OTalk and I'm not a first time presenter!
#OTalk @OTalk_
5 minutes until we wrap up tonight’s #OTalk - any final questions?
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@RRule_OT @SLawsonOT @OTSalfordUni I like what the WFOT did. I think they let the presenters write in a time that they will be present at their posters. #otalk

@teresa_buchan @OTSalfordUni @margaretOT360 @SLawsonOT I don’t bat 1.000 (aka perfect record) with my abstract submissions either. I think my career acceptance rate is around 30-40%. #otalk
Teresa Buchan @teresa_buchan
@OTalk_ I want to promote some work my trust was involved in with an Erasmus project with 7 EU countries. As long as i acknowledge the partners as the project group would i need any other approval? The project is keen to disseminate #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@margaretOT360 And I will probably make the long across the pond trip to come back. 😁 #otalk

@vicki_OT2018 @SLawsonOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT If you've been to conference and seen anyone presenting then I'm sure your worthy of submitting #OTalk we have a lot to learn from students!

That’s the official end of tonight’s #OTalk chat, but feel free to keep the conversation going. Massive thank you to our hosts and participants. Let us know if you end up submitting abstracts!
