@thisisnix [REDACTED USER] Hey there OT Nix! Welcome to the chat! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Great question, I'm sure our community have lots of ideas?! I think we could learn more service users online #otalk
Toks O (she/ her/ hers) @TokunboTweetz
@theOThub [REDACTED USER] Advertise and open invitations to service users? Maybe have device users as guest speakers? Getting real life patient stories. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I agree there's a great variety and the #otalk team will be there this year! Come find our stand!

Events like [REDACTED USER] help disseminated information on latest products, care methods, etc. Online platforms/spaces, e.g. @theOThub (https://t.co/YKTQDMdpqn) and OT4OT allow conversations to continue remotely, around the world. Do you think this can translate to our care? #OTalk

Can we influence product design this way? #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
Great idea! [REDACTED USER] is generally for professionals, rather than service users, but perhaps it could invite them in to get involved! #OTalk

@theOThub [REDACTED USER] [Q1] Being able to network and connect with each other.. to share passion & ideas about our profession is something I notice #OccupationalTherapists do very well ๐Ÿ‘ Thankful we can do this with greater ease through shows, online, & any integrated meet ups/events! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ™Œ #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
@sarahwoodOT [REDACTED USER] Yes, we think social media is increasingly recognised in the workplace as a helpful tool to showcase our work to the public. Do you find employers are happy with social media use at work though? #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] one for 2019 perhaps? #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
[REDACTED USER] Perhaps [REDACTED USER] is more for the end user? The OT Show is more for #OccupationalTherapists specifically... #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
@_allisulli Yes very good point. Integrating professionals and service users can be a challenge. Given each is using online platforms and events for different purposes... #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
Any further thoughts before we move onto Question 2? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@_allisulli A combination approach would be great. Difficult to achieve but think, but then some said #otalk wouldn't take off!

Yes, @ukotac is another great (regional) event for engaging with manufacturers and products #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
Great idea! Could this weekly system be rolled out across other Trusts? #OTalk
Abi @Abi21643842
BJOT has some great practice resources and elearning to support professional development. I think it is important to plan CPD time to explore such resources. Day to day we become so busy and forget #OTalk

#OTalk๐Ÿฆ Professional and geographic isolation QUESTION 2: What are your experiences of social isolation (at work) and how have you overcome them?
Abi @Abi21643842
Youtube, Podcasts and NHS Athens are a great resource, there are online learning platforms along with research journals #OTalk

[REDACTED USER] @_allisulli @theOThub We have tried, all chats are open to anyone, we do get the occasional service users, we would love more! #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
โค๏ธ YES! #OTalk
Abi @Abi21643842
@theOThub Being an OT in a generic role can be quite isolating. It has taken me some time to find OTs in other services for support, but worth doing to share learning and knowledge #OTalk
Allison Sullivan @_allisulli
[REDACTED USER] @theOThub Yes. I just gave the example of #bpdchat. Combining forces for a planned chat with objectives for both service users & clinicians might achieve improve outcomes for both groups via goal attainment scaling #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@theOThub Online supervisor, #otalk and 4OT community. I actually think professional isolation is harder than geography, depending on reason for isolation.
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
[REDACTED USER] Yes, it seems rare to be in a big team of #OccupationalTherapists, especially in community settings. What coping mechanisms/tools do you use to connect with #OTs then? #OTalk

The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
@OTalk_ Yes agreed. So having a really good supervisor - online or by phone - must be key to fighting isolation #OTalk
Abi @Abi21643842
@theOThub [REDACTED USER] We had OT meetings to help create an OT process with an agreed standardised assessment that can be used throughout the recovery pathway. It was also a useful time to discuss ideas and support the practice development of others #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
[REDACTED USER] Yes agreed. Hub Director Jamie works in a Rapid Response service - very nurse-heavy. It's great to have a close-nit MDT, so long as professional identity and voice aren't diluted! #OTalk

@OTalk_ #OTalk Question 2
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
@sarahwoodOT So would you say online platforms, forums, Facebook groups and Twitter chats helped you overcome the isolation of community OT? #OTalk
Abi @Abi21643842
@CommunityLD_OT @theOThub Agree. I have found skyping old uni friends useful to discuss practice and strategies, and access support within your own OT community #OTalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
#OTalk QUESTION 3: The more information available to the healthcare industry, the better able clinicians are to make the best decisions when supporting service users (Sood, 2017). ๐Ÿฆ Can problems arise (in study or in practice) from information overload? https://t.co/scOIrELMzA

Rebecca Pearson OT @Rebecca86076044
@theOThub Sometimes it can feel overwhelming (especially as a student) to receive so much information all at once, but I believe it does allow us to become our own kind of OT and develop our skills and techniques in a way that lets our own personal values shine through #OTalk

This is we're good clinical reasoning comes into play, selecting the appropriate evidence from a mass of information is an art. #otalk

@sarahwoodOT Again, leaning on a colleague you get on well with - and a decent supervisor - must make information-overload less overwhelming! #OTalk

#OTalk QUESTION 4 (FINAL QUESTION): Public awareness of #OccupationalTherapy... (yes, that barrier!) ๐Ÿฆ How can we work to become a profession that is better understood by the public and healthcare colleagues? https://t.co/wSu1TDAqvt
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
Yes, finding #OcupationalBalance seems to be a fluctuating ability in life! #OTalk
Rebecca Pearson OT @Rebecca86076044
@theOThub I think exposure in the mainstream media would be very educational for the public for example a documentary similar to โ€˜Ambulanceโ€™ which looks at the day to day life of paramedics, OTโ€™s deserve the same credit and public appreciation for the invaluable work we do #OTalk
๐Ÿ‘‹ Cindy OT ๐ŸคŸ @TheSigningOT
Online platforms are a great way to collaborate with other clinicians on identifying current issues, discussing future research topics and sharing ideas on improving effective interventions that lead to improved patient outcomes. #OTalk

@Rebecca86076044 @theOThub I think you get taught the foundations of how to understand research and apply to practice, the experience helps build the cognitive library and strengthen understanding. #otalk
The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub
As a profession, we seem really great at sharing in collective celebration of the #ValueOfOT - but this doesn't always translate into the wider general public #OTalk

Yes problems w info overload are numerous & significant: 1) what to do when data conflicts exist 2) generalizability 3) falsified data 4) research bias/vested interests 5) quality control 6) less sensitivity to outliers 7) market-driven decision making To name a few ๐Ÿ˜ƒ #otalk
