| #OTalk @OTalk_ Over to you now @_rachelOT and @RebeccaTwinley with the questions. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley I have similar thoughts- prostitutes, strippers, pornstars, etc. #otalk |
| Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley #OTalk - I admit to limited knowledge: from broadsheet media and television in the main. Never knowingly had a conversation with sex workers in my role as occupational therapist. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Your very welcome. I’m here to help if you get lost - just tweet me #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RebeccaTwinley @BillWongOT @sherlynmelody @_rachelOT Don’t forget the hashtag @RebeccaTwinley #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk here to help if you need it. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Actually I believe it. Sex is an occupation. You never know where your patients come from and why they need your services. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @_rachelOT For example, what if a prostitute got drunk and had injuries from an auto accident. Will we say no to addressing sex if she/he is on rehab services... esp if one of her/his goals is to return to work? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag @dyspraxicot #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @CheyenneMinnie: |
 | Alannah Marie 🌼 She/her @Alannah_OT @_rachelOT It absolutely should be since sex is a big part of people's lives in different capacities. I don't think it is talked about enough in our assessments both in physical and mental health areas of practice. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wellcome - here to help if you need it. Just follow the hashtag #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Ruth_Hawley: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @dyspraxicot Just the one t. It’s pronounced O TALK (Think of it as occupation talk). #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Sex As Work To Me Is Something Done To Serve A Purpose, Be It Financial Gain Or To Fulfil A Personal Purpose But I Also Understand That It Can Be Undertaken Without Choice #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KtBergson @musedNeuroOT @_rachelOT Yes- I think it will be inservice worthy from time to time in work settings that apply. #otalk |
| Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Indeed- but could the profession access traditional work rehabilitation services? I suspect there are barriers - from potential service users, therapists and other wider services - great conversation starter #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Just one T In the hashtag think of it as occupation talk it’s pronounced. O talk ( not OT talk) #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @almcroberts @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Just one T #OTALK |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @EmKGeorge @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Don’t forget the hashtag in every single tweet so that people see what you’re saying and it makes the transcript #OTalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @_rachelOT Yes, This Is 100% Within Our Remit To Discuss It. The Issue Comes When The Therapist May Not Feel Particularly Confident About Bringing It Up And Then Leaves The Topic As The “Elephant In The Room” Which Then Creates Other Issues In The Therapeutic Relationship. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Please remember to include the hashtag in all your tweets, otherwise people will not see what you’re saying and your tweet will not be included in the transcript. #OTalk https://t.co/sSn54K2KUW |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RebeccaTwinley @sherlynmelody @KtBergson @BillWongOT @_rachelOT Lol #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @_rachelOT As someone who is across the pond, I definitely don’t know anything that exists in the UK! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GillyGorry @colourful_ot @Keirwales @sherlynmelody @CheyenneMinnie @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Why don’t we invite sex workers as guest lecturers to our uni’s, or at least brown bag lunch for students to hear their perspectives? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Oops! I forgot #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT There is also this one. #otalk https://t.co/of8vFpAaW1 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And then there is this one. https://t.co/968H4ROCrM #otalk |
 | JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Hello from Melbourne. This is my first #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And finally there is this one. https://t.co/GjR86MeqDZ #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome just follow the hashtag, and you can join in the conversation but do you remember to include #Otalk in all your tweets here to help if you need it. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Bill how could you 😬😆 #OTalk |
| Alannah Marie 🌼 She/her @Alannah_OT @_rachelOT I think the role of an Occupational Therapist would depend on the context of the situation and the individual need. To provide a non-judgemental and supportive space for anyone who discloses is very important. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Alannah_OT: @_rachelOT I think the role of an Occupational Therapist would depend on the context of the situation and the individual need. To provide a non-judgemental and supportive space for anyone who discloses is very important. #otalk |
 | Almudena Fernandez @almu0610 @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Hi! Am I late to join? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Even all-time greats make mistakes. 😂 #OTalk |
 | Allie @SWSupportLV @_rachelOT #otalk Never. Only to trusted, alternative providers who are part of the community and come recommended. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ No not at all if you scroll back through the chat using the #otalk you can see the questions. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
 | Mary @maryartshealth @_rachelOT I became an advocate for her to assist her to get a review and scar management due to the Occupational importance of this area for her. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @SWSupportLV: @_rachelOT #otalk Never. Only to trusted, alternative providers who are part of the community and come recommended. |
| Allie @SWSupportLV @RebeccaTwinley @_rachelOT #Otalk many providers are not educated on SWs issues, and for this reason they may think they are helping when they are harming. There is support for this in SW literature. Most egregious harm include: outing, emotional abuse and reporting to authorities. |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @iamsarahsproule @_rachelOT For Posting This Or For The Behaviours Of The Healthcare Professionals This Person Came Across? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 6 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only five minutes left any final thoughts? #OTalk? https://t.co/m8jKpAQ5pC |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I think sex workers is a population that we must develop better competencies to work for as OT practitioners. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #otalk |
| Allie @SWSupportLV @_rachelOT #OTalk Not assume that a SW occupation is the reason they are seeking services. Educate themselves on SWs issues by asking and listening to SWs. Do not ask: "What is your exit plan?" Self-reflect on their own attitudes surrounding sex work. |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @BridDunneOT @RebeccaCrouch @_rachelOT @Ruth_Hawley @RebeccaTwinley @KtBergson @BillWongOT @peep_cast @GuiltFemPod In Australia we have legal sex work. I wonder if that makes health care more accessible and less judgmental? Would be interesting to see the differences #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Well where did that hour go? Can we please thank @_rachelOT and @RebeccaTwinley and all those that shared their experiences for a chat tonight! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget to fill in your reflective log, from tonight’s #OTalk https://t.co/hEhcGDc7EZ |
 | Mabel @girllikemabel RT @OTalk_: Well where did that hour go? Can we please thank @_rachelOT and @RebeccaTwinley and all those that shared their experiences for a chat tonight! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Although the official chat has finished did continue the conversation if you wish. The transcript will be collected and added to the blog in the next few days, #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is me @OT_rach signing off, really enjoyed, supporting tonight. #otalk https://t.co/YbBX7B3vRG |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @_rachelOT We just need to remember our OT core values and make our practice client centred. Help with what they want help with. Listen to their concerns. #Otalk |
| Sarah Reynolds @SReynoldsOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach really thought provoking - will be mindful of possibilities in the future - thank you #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley Thank you for holding such an interesting discussion and providing the anonymous experiences of sex workers. Highlights how far we have to come #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Anonymous tweet - Who wished that thoughts to be added. Due to how I was treated by others when I was young and my disability, I access two sex workers. They were the only two people I have met who understood my sensory issues. I'm truly grateful. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk 26th Nov 2019 – Driving After a Stroke https://t.co/cV7MenleKe |
 | Emma George @EmKGeorge @_rachelOT @RebeccaTwinley One of the issues identified by my research participants is that when they access health care, everything gets turned into an issue around sex work, even if they just have a cold. Sex workers face a lot of stigma #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Next weeks #OTalk will be hosted by @RCOT_NP - looking forward to it. |
| Emma George @EmKGeorge @RebeccaTwinley And other sex workers I’ve talked to are systematically denied access to health care, even at the end of life. #injustice #otalk |
| Emma George @EmKGeorge @Ruth_Hawley @RebeccaTwinley I agree. I’ll definitely catch up on the #OTalk content from today. Lots of important issues identified. As OTs we can and must collectively promote justice and equity. |

 | Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 So pleased to scan through and see the wonderful @_rachelOT has had lots of response from this #OTalk. Will be having a proper read later 😊 |
