#OTalk Discussing Using social, print or broadcast media to promote the profession with @mrkwhtmnOT https://t.co/0NYK2wZK1O https://t.co/sF9j7MrhIt
Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x
@mrkwhtmnOT I was sat in a GP practice the other day, saw physio leaflets but nothing about OT! Need to spread the word to those who need us #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@mrkwhtmnOT Peeps might just need a min to settle in... but don't worry it will be all go soon enough! #OTalk

@mrkwhtmnOT Social media & blogs for first person perspectives, but more is needed in mainstream broadcast and print media to reach the public #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
As a former journalist and graphic designer this topic is something I'm very interested in #otalk
Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8
@mrkwhtmnOT It’s easy to think the value of printed media is declining but you have to think about where potential clients would read about us #OTalk
Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x
Also, docu-dramas behind the scenes in hospital/GP but no mention of OT! #otalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@OTontheTracks @mrkwhtmnOT More needs to be done in dramas such as #Holbycity that are a correct representation of OT, sometimes they just don't get it right #OTalk
Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x
@LeaFieldOT @mrkwhtmnOT Exactly! I also think for 'proactive' healthcare, people need to be able to access us not during a crisis #otalk
Motiv8 Conwy & Denbighshire @MOTIV8NWWALES
@mrkwhtmnOT #otalk we need to promote value of #OccupationalTherapy in #socialprescribing
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@JanetPaske And how best to fit the audiences, you don't want to publish something aimed at guardian readers in the sun #OTalk
Jessica Jackson @xJessicaKate18x
@OTontheTracks Exactly! Keep seeing physio/SW mentioned on 'Ambulance' - want to scream at them about OT #otalk
Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8
@OTontheTracks @mrkwhtmnOT Agreed but the representation also needs to be correct and should be based on real life OT input #OTalk

@mrkwhtmnOT Keep talking about OT, start small, talk to colleagues, friends, family. Spread the word and hopefully it will catch on #OTalk
Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8
@mrkwhtmnOT “Hello my name is... and I am an Occupational Therapist (student)” gives the chance for someone to say, ‘what is that?!’ #OTalk
Jamie Cardell @OTJme
When explaining our profession to others rather than saying #OT actually remembering to say #Occupationaltherapy #otalk https://t.co/UXfMVary98

@OT_Explorer @mrkwhtmnOT @JanetPaske Hopefully the apprenticeship proposal will in some ways encourage later career OTs to join the profession #OTalk

@SensationalOT @mrkwhtmnOT If we know they will be on TEDx talks, be there to support them. Maybe that’s one small way! #otalk

@mrkwhtmnOT Continue the ethos and momentum of OT week- collect patient stories, evidence based practice, communication #otalk

@xJessicaKate18x @mrkwhtmnOT Patient stories will help reach to those outside of the profession and give them perspective on the profession #OTalk

@DebbiiHarrison I'm always talking to those around me about what I do, equally have used activity instead of occupation at times #OTalk
Amie Jayne💚(she/her)🏳️‍🌈 @Amie_OT
@ot_cathy @OTontheTracks @theRCOT Until occupation becomes associated with 'doing' rather than 'work' it will be hard to describe the profession #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SensationalOT @mrkwhtmnOT As I said in my media club session, I won’t go for 5. I think I will become too materialistic to chase that number in my career. #otalk

@oscar_tangoXVII @BethjmOT @LeaFieldOT @mrkwhtmnOT But at the same time, aren’t we supposed to be respectful to our clients no matter their ethnicity and sex orientations? #otalk

@chungsongyau @DebbiiHarrison Exactly how I've used the terms previously! I try to fit activity, meaning and occupation into my definition #OTalk

@oscar_tangoXVII @BethjmOT @LeaFieldOT @mrkwhtmnOT I think what we learned in school to work in the field should also apply to the way we treat our peers. #otalk

@oscar_tangoXVII @BethjmOT @LeaFieldOT @mrkwhtmnOT It’s a problem across several different contexts. #otalk
