| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @Kirstie_OT Yes! It will put off mature students and those with life experience. I'm intrigued to see how the apprenticeship will work #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kellymo48952401 @OTalk_ My goal when I come in 2019- I will come with a couple abstracts on my #autism lived experiences. #otalk |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @Kirstie_OT #otalk chose OT after sudden life crisis in my 40's. I needed to make positive changes out of adversity. Life skills applied to OT. |
| Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT @xJessicaKate18x @Kirstie_OT #OTalk.... completely agree, I wouldn't have been able to do it |
 | UCC OSOT @UCC_OSOT Great to hear student perspectives on #otalk this evening - the profession is in good hands with such insightful & passionate people |
| Beth Reid @beth_reid105 @ljx_01 @Kirstie_OT knowledge will grow when you’re working! I got a notebook and wrote down every term I didn’t know&googled it!😉#OTalk |
| Lisa Forrest OT 🌈 @LisaForrestOT @OTalk_ Sorry caught up in the question/response #OTalk |
| Kirstie @Kirstie_OT @julieannelowe1 @alisonlaverfaw That is interesting, quite a few unis has reported lower numbers. #otalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Kirstie_OT I would encourage more links with OTs in practice outside of our time on placement #OTalk |
| Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett @Kirstie_OT Absolutely! I couldn't have done the MSc without funding, it was already a big decision to leave full time employment #OTalk #brokestudent |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @alisonlaverfaw: @MMShiells #OTalk our role emerging placements have led to students getting their first posts in new OT service areas |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OT_Sue @Kirstie_OT At times I've really struggled myself and it's just the two of us at home, without the bursary I couldn't have done it #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Amie_OT: @elenaluck_OT I feel lucky to have had a lot of time on placements learning about equipment and assistive technology #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SophieMaynard8: @Kirstie_OT I got last year of funding, because I have previous degree I wouldn’t of been able to afford to study without the NHS #OTalk |
| Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @Kirstie_OT Funding didn't affect my decision to do OT. I was passionate about my future career so this wouldn't have stopped me #OTalk |
| Helen Arnfield MSc (she/her) @HelenArnfieldOT @SensationalOT @orlatheot It is entirely possible but I won’t mind, feel I may have caught the research bug #OTalk |
| Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT RT @SophieMaynard8: @Kirstie_OT I got last year of funding, because I have previous degree I wouldn’t of been able to afford to study without the NHS #OTalk |
| Professor Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw @HelenArnfieldOT @MMShiells #OTalk quite a few of our students do Health Care Assistant bank posts when studying. Bank working gives flexibility - useful for placements |
| Kirstie @Kirstie_OT @SensationalOT Yes! Us OT folk have the majority on enthusiasm! #otalk |
| Kirstie @Kirstie_OT RT @SensationalOT: @Kirstie_OT Sadly, yes. If it's not commissioned, NHS OTs can't do it & then we can't show it to our students- I always model enthusiasm tho #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SophieMaynard8 @Kirstie_OT If you are in US, you would have paid crazy $$$. I think $150K USD if you want to do masters w/ clinical doctorate. #otalk |
| Maggie Ruth Morton @SensationalOT @OT_Sue @Amie_OT @Kirstie_OT I trained in Canada where OT education wasn't funded. Lucky to have discovered my passion before I had a family to support #OTalk |
| Professor Alison Laver-Fawcett @alisonlaverfaw RT @Kirstie_OT: Q5b: Q5b: Clinicians do you think the funding changes & the difficulties faced by health/social care will impact on OT education? #OTalk https://t.co/gZKJw3lPpx |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @OT_Sue: @Amie_OT @Kirstie_OT I definitely could not have done it supporting 2 kids and a starving artist husband!! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @CandacePlouffe: @SweetJo1980 Always wanted to work with CYP so started there; my Uni instilled the belief that OT is very versatile so have had a varied career #OTalk |
| Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT RT @SensationalOT: @Kirstie_OT Sadly, yes. If it's not commissioned, NHS OTs can't do it & then we can't show it to our students- I always model enthusiasm tho #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Debraj_OT: @smb1607 #OTalk I would have loved the opportunity to do without, but commitments meant I would not be able to |
| Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x @beth_reid105 @ljx_01 @Kirstie_OT Brilliant advice for #otstudents #otalk |
| Shazz J-E @shazzajamie @sk11985 @Kirstie_OT @MMShiells #otalk I am also an ex-service user (mental health) and that's 1 reason I specialised in #mentalhealth |
| Gemma Chambers @Gemma_Louise_85 RT @orlatheot: @Kirstie_OT I would encourage more links with OTs in practice outside of our time on placement #OTalk |
| Elena Luck @elenaluck_OT #OTalk I hate to say it but I felt like newly qualified physios seemed to be much more set up for the 'real world' & this was disheartening |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only 10 minutes left forks #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT At least not as severe as US! #otalk https://t.co/cVsYZvELvz |
| Becky the OT (She/Her) @BeckyFrench_OT #otalk I couldn't have done my MSc without funding. Also had to work part time to manage |
| Erin Cullen @Erin_newOT I rushed to get on the last funded cohort - as did quite a few of my mature student peers #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @BillWongOT @Kirstie_OT Oh my! Still worth it though, such a valuable career #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @SensationalOT @OT_Sue @Kirstie_OT I definitely feel like one of the lucky ones #OTalk |
| Orla @orlatheot @Kirstie_OT #OTalk As a EU student, I have to work part-time as well as studying so hopefully this won't affect my performance. So far it has worked well |
| Bethany💙 @BethjmOT @Kirstie_OT However, I can understand how funding could impact on other peoples decisions including mature students which is a shame #OTalk |
| Beverley Goodman @OTBev @ChloeVincett @Kirstie_OT And that would have been a real loss to the profession!! It's definitely off-putting to students who come with such varied experience #OTalk |
| Helen Arnfield MSc (she/her) @HelenArnfieldOT @alisonlaverfaw @MMShiells Thanks, I currently work as an OTA whilst studying for BSc but hope to hop up a grade or two once I qualify but stay on for MSc #OTalk |
| Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @BillWongOT @kellymo48952401 @OTalk_ Have you changed your job Bill? I thought you worked in a nursing facility? #OTALK |
| Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett This being said I love the idea of an apprenticeship! I think this would have been right up my street if £ wasn't an issue #OTalk https://t.co/wgSa4OjAG0 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SophieMaynard8 @Kirstie_OT And it will be even worse if we make doctorate as point of entry in 10 years. More people with 150-200k usd in debt! #otalk |

| Beth Reid @beth_reid105 @Kirstie_OT my OT degree was my 2nd degree and I definitely wouldn’t have been able to afford it without the bursaries #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Helen_OTUK @kellymo48952401 @OTalk_ No- I still read up articles on autism because that’s what my primary passionate presentation topics. #otalk |
