 | Nina Franziska @ninafoxglove Probably not as confident as others in MDT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach #OTalk |
 | Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello everyone 👋🏼 2nd year student here from Coventry University #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @BethjmOT @OT_rach Welcome #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @Bsidebaby_ @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach That's great...do you think the OT training has help or just working in clinical practice and developing confidence #otalk. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Right over to @OTthoughts from @RCOT_PLD for tonight’s questions! #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @BevTW @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach me too...i don't always feel confident to ask questions. sometimes i feel like I should know and other times I have got a clue #otalk |
 | Christie Robinson @christiephysio @OTalk_ @OT_rach #OTalk lurking in Plymouth 😂 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I think it depends on your setting you work with. A common issue in our setting is when patient has pain pill for the day. Next on the list will be BP medications. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTthoughts: Welcome everyone to our first #otalk @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach. To kick of...our first question is: Do you feel confident in discu… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1. #OTalk https://t.co/LPRSTO8fmo |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @MMShiells @BevTW @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach So true...should it be? Or should we know the basic so we can raise with MDT colleagues with confidence? #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts RT @OTalk_: Question 1. #OTalk https://t.co/LPRSTO8fmo |
| Laura Occupational Therapist @Bsidebaby_ @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach #otalk I think mostly learning on the job and seeing for myself what the effects of medication have had on clients. Generally not in a good way! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Timing of pain pills is probably the most important in my setting because it affects timing of when patients might like to be seen. #otalk |
 | Rebecca Crossley @rebeccacrossle2 RT @OTthoughts: Welcome everyone to our first #otalk @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach. To kick of...our first question is: Do you feel confident in discu… |
 | Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I think medication is always difficult because its not really part of our learning cirriculum. In one of my placements they had drug of the week to help AHPs learn more about medication - super useful #OTALK |

 | Orla @orlatheot @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello! #OTalk |
| Debra Hughes @Debraj_OT Q1... I am not qualified but from a personal point of view i believe that it is essential that medication issues should be discussed in MDT #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTthoughts: @MMShiells @BevTW @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach So true...should it be? Or should we know the basic so we can raise with MDT colleague… |
| Bev Taylor-Wade @OTBevTW Generally switch off when meds are discussed in MDT in detail #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I feel more confident discussing issues regarding challenges clients may have when taking their medication and how they can be supported but sometimes do not understand why a client is taking a particular medication #otalk |
 | Laura White @laura1969_white @otalk_@ot_rach #otalk Hi! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach One example will be when during our MH placements or jobs. We have to learn what medications our patients are taking. #otalk |
 | Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach That sounds great! What a simple way to get everyone informed #OTalk |
 | Stella Plisner @stellawellawoo @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Absolutely ! However saying that , when I was newly qualified may have felt more anxious about it #otalk |
| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach *Drug of the week sessions, where one person from the team each week would research and introduce a drug and talk about it during MDT meetings throughout the week. I love this idea #OTALK |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach That's a great idea AHP learning about medication in practice. I started to do this and learnt about possible side effects as they can have an impact on function #otalk |
| Anne Webster @awebster67 @Bsidebaby_ @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach #OTalk do you see an impact from overmedication on people’s ability to be active ? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ChloeVincett: @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach That sounds great! What a simple way to get everyone informed… |

| Ana Pires @anapire77988177 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach In my setting we do have a medication policy in place and I do ask questions and I do research about if I feel the medication will impact the function of my clients #OTalk |
 | RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD @OTthoughts @BevTW @OT_rach #otalk do you think that others are glazing over also so the decisioni is not fully MDT based? I find im more confident on familiar medications to me |
| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @ChloeVincett @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Its also a fantastic way to learn from each other too #OTALK |
 | Phil King @philking53 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I don't feel that I have a great understanding of medication as yet but I feel I can (and often do) as question re; medication at MDT meetings mainly to spark discussion about medication #OTalk |
 | Moira Scanlon @moira_scanlon @OTthoughts @MMShiells @BevTW @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Yes because often you are trying to do an intervention at the very time medication is being changed- especially if it relates to behaviour that challenges #otalk |
| grainne carley @gra_carley I have learnt to pay attention to meds & especially note if there is changing happening or talk of change as it indicates a lot in terms of colleagues thinking on mental health progress/not #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @AnaPire77988177 @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach We should acknowledge that some medications might have an impact on function and doing everyday activities #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I think it will work with a MDT team with consistent staff. My setting- sometimes with piecemeal staffs, that would not be very effective. #otalk |

| Orla @orlatheot @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach As a student I don't feel I know enough about medication yet, it's something I should look into more #otalk |

| Stella Plisner @stellawellawoo @AnaPire77988177 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I agree #Otalk |
| Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett On MH placement at the moment and I feel I've probably learnt more about meds and what they're for from the way clients have discussed them and the positive/negative impact that comes with them #OTalk |

| Anne Webster @awebster67 RT @OTthoughts: @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach That's a great idea AHP learning about medication in practice. I started to… |
| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @BillWongOT @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Learning about side effects is really important because it can affect our clinical reasoning. Also useful to know how long side effects are likely to last and what are seen as acceptable side effects and what indicates a need for medication change, antidepressants espec. #OTALK |
| Stella Plisner @stellawellawoo @AnaPire77988177 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach And that could potentially impact on assessment results #Otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @BillWongOT @HolleighLouise @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Great point Bill because you need to develop relationship with colleagues which is hard when always changing #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AWebster67 @Bsidebaby_ @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach In my setting- that can be a dilemma. You want an active patient with frequent behavior outbursts, or an inactive patient who is sitting on a Geri chair or tilt n space wheelchair most of the day? #otalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts RT @HolleighLouise: @OTthoughts @BillWongOT @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Learning about side effects is really important because it can affect our cl… |
| Bev Taylor-Wade @OTBevTW Not sure I know which ones might be most likely to have those side effects #OTalk |

| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Sorry what do you mean by piecemeal staff? I think the same goes for bank staff and of course myour methods would have to adapted to your service - you might not have MDT meetings weekly to do it in the same way #OTALK |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @HolleighLouise @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Yes- that’s a difference between a hospital setting and say a nursing home setting in US sometimes. #otalk |
| Laura Occupational Therapist @Bsidebaby_ @AWebster67 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach #otalk yes definitely, wake people up to give them meds to keep them "calm" result is lack of ability to engage and they then get labelled as "difficult" "not interested" etc etc |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach As a student I don't feel that confident about medication, however on my first placement i was interested and would ask my educator or other members of the MDT about types of medication, especially if they impacted on the client being able to take part in assessments #OTalk |
 | Lead Professional Adviser Paul @RCOT_Paul @MMShiells @KarinBishopRCOT Interested to hear what people think. #OTalk |
| Chloe Vincett @ChloeVincett @moira_scanlon @OTthoughts @MMShiells @BevTW @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach On our (@yasmine_OT) current placement we were asked to carry out a mobility assessment on a unsteady gentleman- two days later, change of meds, completely different guy! #OTalk |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts @EmmaOTstudent @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Me too...where do we get medication support and advice as AHP? #OTalk |
 | Philip Mason @pjmasonOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Is taking medication “a meaningful occupation”? And if so, should it not then be our business to know more about it? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach Well- what I mean is different people almost all the time from all key rehab disciplines. There is no staff consistency in these instances. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Please remember to add the hashtag to all your tweets, we don’t want to miss anything off the transcript! #OTalk. And you don’t want to end up on my naughty step https://t.co/T3Yqe2Ci8A |
| grainne carley @gra_carley @MMShiells This is true Maureen, it's about the impact of changes on functioning, engagement, behavious etc #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach And in my setting sometimes, that can mean people showing up at different parts of day due to low caseload. So the disciplines might not meet one another regularly, too. #otalk |

| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @AnaPire77988177 @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I think this is super interesting, how meds can create or reduce occupational injustices #OTALK |
| RCOT_PLD @RCOT_PLD @OTthoughts @OT_rach #Otalk Good to hear many of you feel confident questioning and researching. what would help understanding of medication and side effects so feel confident discussing medication issues ? |
| Christie Robinson @christiephysio @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach #OTalk Keeping up to date with meds can be tough when not dealing with it on a regular basis. Play to strengths of team and ask colleagues that is the joy if a team approach! You can return the favour and share your specialist knowledge when they are unsure too |

| grainne carley @gra_carley @ChloeVincett This is really interesting Chloe - I think we could do all the reading on side effects and impact, but actually seeing and noting it in someone we're working with is much more effective learning #OTalk |

| Stella Plisner @stellawellawoo @OTthoughts @OTalk_ @MMShiells @BevTW @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I’ve seen the same - it’s heartbreaking to see the impact on function . Falling , poor coordination , agitation ... #OTalk |
| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach So do you think introducing something like posters about drug of the week would work? People may be reluctant to read them, however, if people are interested they could attend? Or an email once a week about information about a medication? #OTALK |
 | Stephanie Lancaster @TheOutLoudOT Excellent topic! There are open-access (free) courses on sites like Coursera on topics related to this such as neuropharmacology that are great! I feel comfortable talking many (but not all) meds. #OTalk |
| Rachael S-P @raiot1114 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach I find that a meds list will help to understand PMH when patients are poor historians #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @OTthoughts @RaiOT1114 @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach In the LD team I'm on placement with we don't have regular access to a pharmacist either however our LD nurses are very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to information on medication #otalk |

| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts Great conversations - question two is also related to medication management: 2. Can occupational therapists support clients to reduce the amount of medication people with LD / autism take / do we have a role in medication reduction? #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach In my setting, if a team is consists of fill-in or locum staff, they would care more about getting their jobs done for the day than care about these big picture things. #otalk |

| Stephanie Lancaster @TheOutLoudOT #OTalk TBH some of what I know about medications and how they affect occupational performance has come from serving as a caregiver in personal situations rather than in a professional context. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTthoughts This one I will answer from patient perspective. I would say it was important for me to update my OT about my response to these medications whenever I felt it was important to talk about it. #otalk |
| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @OTthoughts Yes! By working on strategies to manage anxiety or ways to reduce challenging behaviour through sensory/communication strategies etc. we can reduce the need of anxiety meds and lorazapam #OTALK |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT Watching Secret life of 5 year olds and getting involved in #OTalk! Interesting discussions as always, I feel that i need to start looking into medication more in my future placements and practice. |

| Bev Taylor-Wade @OTBevTW @OTthoughts #OTalk absolutely. Why on meds in first place? What is the cause of distress? Lack of occupation? |

| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @OTthoughts I feel that we can get involved with this, including communicating with other MDT professionals. We need to look at the medication which the client is taking, assess their engagement with their occupations & make sure there are no risks #OTalk |

| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @Rachael61611010 @OTthoughts Also its probably worth mentioning that even when on medications - this may reduce the health problem/challenging behaviour etc. but not stop it!

| Stephanie Lancaster @TheOutLoudOT @Rachael61611010 @BillWongOT @OTthoughts Rather than aiming to reduce meds which shines a very negative light on pharmacological management of disease, it's within the scope of practice for OT practitioners to observe and communicate objective information that may help the team to find a good therapeutic dosage. #Otalk |
| Philip Mason @pjmasonOT @OTthoughts I think also in the name of balance it’s important to acknowledge that medication is important and not everyone experiences every side effect. I have faced my own anti meds demons and learned that healing/recovery requires many ‘pieces of the jigsaw’ #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @TheOutLoudOT @Rachael61611010 @OTthoughts When I used to have my meds, I remembered my psychologist and OT reminded me to touch base about the effects of dosage in case the initial amount is not effective. #otalk |

| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT “Exotic Communication”...Love It!! #OTalk https://t.co/3ngx1KvsLM |
| Laura Occupational Therapist @Bsidebaby_ @OTthoughts #OTalk ask questions, request medication reviews, be a voice for people who aren't allowed one. |
| Stephanie Lancaster @TheOutLoudOT Yes - and I would say it's our ethical responsibility to do so. The best way we can play a role is through our skilled observations and communication skills, I think, and that's part of why documentation and communication are SO important. #OTalk https://t.co/M2PRNDkjmd |
| Holleigh Bryan 💚🏴 @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @LDOTJo @philking53 @OTthoughts Also I think often it tends to depend on the reason for medication. A lot of people are anti-medication when it comes to antidepressants but will over use antibiotics unnecessarily! #OTALK |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts RT @Bsidebaby_: @OTthoughts #OTalk ask questions, request medication reviews, be a voice for people who aren't allowed one. |
| Venthan Mailoo @VenthanMailoo @RCOT_PLD @Rachael61611010 @OTthoughts @OT_rach No one clinician can know everything, but #InformationTechnology often offers us easy places to look. In the case of medications I have found @DrugBankDB is usually a good source. #OTalk @OTalk_ https://t.co/qx8cAFGErR |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @TheOutLoudOT @OTthoughts @KwakuOT I think it’s easier to do when you are full time and almost always at one building. Me- sometimes I don’t even know where I am going tomorrow a lot. And staffing changes at sister buildings can play a big role. #otalk |

| Stephanie Lancaster @TheOutLoudOT @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @KwakuOT Again, I think baby steps and doing what one can within reason is the most logical way to approach this as it is within our scope of practice and definitely impacts our clients' occupational performance and functional outcomes. #OTalk |

| Philip Mason @pjmasonOT @OTthoughts @KwakuOT I think understanding any behaviour through an Occupational Therapy lens is key to our role.

| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT Personally I'd have to look more into the STOMP campaign. Find out more, ask questions to other professionals. Don't be afraid if you don't know everything. Being honest is key in practice, and learning takes place everyday #OTalk https://t.co/wHBmwJp16K |
| Hayley Goodwin @OTthoughts RT @BevTW: @OTthoughts @HelenJusticeOT @KwakuOT #OTalk Loads of fab work being done out there - need to publish it! |
| Ana Pires @anapire77988177 @OTthoughts @KwakuOT It is also crucial for us to be able to answer the question is it sensory or is it behaviour? Meaningful occupations and improved communication are in my point of view the key for sucess decreasing challenge behaviours. #OTalk |

| Phil King @philking53 @OTalk_ I will continue to question the use of medication in a person's life, just like I expect people to question me on my decision making process, but, I also need to ease up on my dislike of medication and understand the benefits they may bring! #OTalk |
| Emma Robinson @EmmaRobinsonOT @HolleighLouise @BillWongOT @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach This is a great idea! There’s such limited time during training to cover medication, and I found it difficult on practice placements to get my head around meds & their side effects at times #Otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @pjmasonOT @OTthoughts The only catch of this is- you can’t be with the patient for just a day during the POC and then you have to work elsewhere because of work related needs. #otalk |

| Venthan Mailoo @VenthanMailoo @LDOTJo @christiephysio @AWebster67 @OTthoughts @RCOT_PLD @OT_rach It is not uncommon to meet patients that don't know why they are taking medications.

I have known occasions when nobody in the #MultiDisciplinaryTeam knew! @OTalk_ #OTalk https://t.co/RDlwOeNJkP https://t.co/IHubmopOy4 |
