 | Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden @chungsongyau @otalk @RCOT_NP Will be trying to keep one eye on the chat! We give out a lot of driving advice #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @GeorgiaVineOT We always appreciate a bit of lived experience! 😋 #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ Good good! #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #Otalk Okay, so we have a few introductions, with some of our committee on which is great. Although we are a stroke forum, and much of our experience of driving is with people with stroke, please feel free to consider other conditions |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ @colourful_ot haha! I usually would be munching lunch instead of dinner... though my food for both usually are similar. #otalk |
 | Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Hello all from @JenniferNCrow, Chair of the Stroke Forum, looking forward to the chat #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau @JasminLaffy @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ @colourful_ot #OTalk It will be great to get your Australian perspective as there has been a lot of return to driving work done in Australia |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau @willchegwidden @otalk @RCOT_NP #OTalk that’s ideal, be great to get your thoughts |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #Otalk ready for question 1? Before we start considering our service users, driving is an important occupation for many of us. Q1: What does the occupation of driving mean to you? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chungsongyau: #Otalk Okay, so we have a few introductions, with some of our committee on which is great. Although we are a stroke forum… |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ @colourful_ot I will try to share some experiences. As a new grad my experience in stroke rehab is an 8 week placement #OTalk |
 | ed sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @chungsongyau @otalk @RCOT_NP I'm lurking... I used to work in driving assessment but many years ago #otalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow @chungsongyau Freedom and independence #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Retweeting question 1 as a person who hasn't learned to drive 😬 #OTalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley For my mother who recently had a stroke not being able to drive post stroke even for a month was loosing her autonomy. #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau @musedNeuroOT @otalk @RCOT_NP #OTalk it will be great to get your thoughts, Ed |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @JenniferNCrow: @chungsongyau Freedom and independence #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau it's an important occupation for me to access my 2 other meaningful occupations- work and leisure. I need my car to drive to work, and sometimes in between work. I also need my car to drive to the golf course. (I can't imagine carrying my golf bag to a bus!) #otalk |

| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley and of course leisure partliculay if you love your car! |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk that will be a useful perspective for our last question as many people don’t drive and many will not return to driving after their condition. |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @NicoleCWalmsley It was fun when I did a cross country trip (in UK, no less). I did the first third of it via driving... which is impressive for an American who had no experience with British driving laws and rules! #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @GeorgiaVineOT: @chungsongyau Independence, having lessons is great for me knowing that I won’t have to rely on taxis! #OTalk |
 | Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau As well as freedom, independence, it allows me to access other occupations #OTalk |

| Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden My car is part of my identity and my socialising - being part of a mini owners club and going on mini outings #otalk https://t.co/0YYdavmoZl |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau the bills can rack up if you use taxis/Uber all the time! #otalk |

 | Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @NicoleCWalmsley I love a good sing a long in the car! Actually that's something I really miss moving to London, not being able to pop in the car to drive to work and belt out a Celine Dion number #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk that’s great, Susan. Freedom seems to be a theme but it means the freedom to participate in other occupations |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @BillWongOT @chungsongyau Tell me about it #OTalk |
| Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden RT @EmPlayfair: @NicoleCWalmsley I love a good sing a long in the car! Actually that's something I really miss moving to London, not being… |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @willchegwidden So cute! And yes - never thought of it as an actual hobby (only because it's not one of mine... I enjoy colours, but don't ask me the car brand!) #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP Lots of comments around links with independence. I wonder how much this differs dependent on geography- those in isolated areas, versus cosmopolitan areas with amenities locally, public transport access etc #OTalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james @BillWongOT @NicoleCWalmsley Hopefully not too many traffic jams!? I spend a lot of time driving all over the UK for work. One of the side benefit occupations is listening to the radio whilst I’m doing it. Keeps me up to date on current affairs #OTalk #Brexit (sorry for bringing that into it!) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmPlayfair @NicoleCWalmsley I would go with a little Spice Girls or Nellie McKay in my car. #otalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Yes those living in urban areas are lucky in that they have other transport options #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk that’s really cool and thanks for introducing driving as a means of identity allowing other occupations of socialising and visiting |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau 1. Independence 2. Freedom 3. Greater choice in activity 4. Convenience and time saving #OTalk |
| Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden This! I love a roadtrip, whether it’s Route 66 or Cornwall or the great ocean road, and a singalong is a must |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau Can be super expensive to have a car too though can't it... More 'big bill' payments rather than continuous payments through the year... #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @BillWongOT @chungsongyau Driving opens up more opportunities! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @uk_james @NicoleCWalmsley Los Angeles is not too much better either! I live in the wrong part of USA. That's why I make it a mission when I retire- I will do so at a laid back place! #otalk |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley I agree @RCOT_NP partculary bad for people who live rurally #OTalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james @willchegwidden That’s pretty cool. I had a little brown Mini Clubman when I was an OT student in the 90s #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau I have seen the devasting effect it has on my father when he has to give up driving in his 50’s due to deteriorating eye sight #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk So driving allows you to participate in the occupation of singing while in the car! Could give rise to #OTalkKaraoke? |
 | Kw : Br ❄️ @HolistiQueen Rah no invite? How do I become a part of the mini owners club sir? |
| Kw : Br ❄️ @HolistiQueen RT @OTalk_: Tonight’s #OTalk with @RCOT_NP https://t.co/Grl76SPUu8 |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmPlayfair @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau yes- in some places in the world, I would rather use public transit than have a car! Hong Kong would be one of them! #otalk |
 | Rebecca Twinley @RebeccaTwinley RT @OTalk_: Tonight’s #OTalk with @RCOT_NP https://t.co/Grl76SPUu8 |

 | Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau Driving is an integral part of their job role for many people, and so is part of their income stream. The potential of not being able to drive can be devastating to these people #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk I would certainly agree with that! |

| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau @Louisepenny87 #OTalk Yes, the impact of employment being affected |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @EmPlayfair: @chungsongyau I'M ON IT! #OTalk https://t.co/uRhzfiyzZO |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow As well as job roles driving may be part of fulfilling parental or caring roles with trips to school and drs appointments #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @chungsongyau Interesting and such a valid point about identity. Often an expression of ourselves, or to give across a certain message (family car...successful business person....speed demon) and so many have routines associated too, being it polishing the car or clubs #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau I have met some OT's in Hong Kong... they use MTR's instead of driving. #otalk |

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau Such an important point! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau @Louisepenny87 yes- I can't imagine having to pre-book an Uber for my day job if I can't use my car! #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau Driving home is often where I reflect and process my working day so I arrive home less stressed #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau For me personally, being able to drive means that I can visit family. Two hour drive vs 3.5 - 4 hour train journey, and then begging for a lift from the station the extra 10 miles #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #Otalk so while thoughts continue to come in for Q1, we have strong themes of driving giving freedom to access other occupations including work and actually being a container in which to do occupation like singing. A recent man I worked with ate lunch beside a pond in his car |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SusanGriffiths5: @chungsongyau Driving home is often where I reflect and process my working day so I arrive home less stressed #OTalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau I do some of my best thinking in the car, hatching plans, that kind of thing #OTalk |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau WAIT - is that another occupation? "Anxiety Releaser" for when I'm in full red rage turbo mode?? #OTalk |
 | Dianne @OTStudentDianne @chungsongyau Independence, flexibility and the ability to work in the community! Also opens up access to rural areas, e.g. for hiking that would be inaccessible by public transport #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau I certainly would do that on a regular basis if I am undergoing a setting change next year! Got 1.5 to 2 hours of driving each way every day. #otalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP #OTalk Also often something around security. Confidence to go somewhere which might be daunting or feel less safe walking or on public transport. Convenience of not having to carry shopping etc. |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow Actually @EmPlayfair had to book an uber today to get back from a discharge home visit, thanks to unreliable hospital transport #OTalk so even in London we sometimes need cars to do our jobs |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley Its your own space. I actually find it really relaxing (as long as you are not in a traffic jam) #OTalk . |

| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #Otalk So question 2 brining is on to our work as OTs or experience as someone returning to driving . Q2: How do you determine whether somebody can resume driving after a month following stroke or whether testing at an official driving assessment service is needed? |

| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @JenniferNCrow Sure did... Shall I forward the receipt? #OTalk https://t.co/dptNcGfBBR |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley Scarely it is usually up to the GP #Otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @uk_james @chungsongyau Oh yes me too, but sometimes by the time I get to work I have forgotten all my brilliant ideas and plans 🙄 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau I think sometimes the best way is to use activities- like driving simulators, or games that test reaction time, abilities to scan L and R regularly. Wii or Kinect can be our friends I think. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JasminLaffy @RCOT_NP One day I hope to visit there! I visited Perth and Sydney in the last 2+ years. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @GeorgiaVineOT: @chungsongyau @OTalk_ Trying out different adaptations and cognitive test! #OTalk |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @JasminLaffy @BillWongOT @RCOT_NP Very similar in Sydney too depending on which direction you're going! EVen sitting in traffic for an hour might still be quicker...! #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk a great list! |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow In the HASU setting we just provide the DVLA guidance for those being discharged home from HASU. I always advice patients to consult with their GP but then wonder how the GP decides whether someone needs a driving test or not in a 10min consultation #OTalk |

| Will Chegwidden @willchegwidden @JenniferNCrow @EmPlayfair We actually call an uber on our rehab unit when we want to practice car transfers, as we don't have a work car in central London, works well, you just pay the mnimum £5. About 1 in 3 don't even charge us... ("my mum had a stroke...") #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk yes, and often being in a situation of having little information to base a decision on |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EmPlayfair @JasminLaffy @RCOT_NP I felt that way when I was in Sydney for the OT Australia conference earlier this year. Rush hour makes such a difference! #otalk |
| Dianne @OTStudentDianne @chungsongyau I’m not too sure about this one so keen to see the responses... from my experiences it’s been a joint decision, with cognitive assessment from OT part of this #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow Do you give standard documentation/information Jenny (DVLA or stroke association)? Standard wording on your discharge summary to advise GPs of your findings? #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @willchegwidden @JenniferNCrow @EmPlayfair speaking of Uber, some patients at my work will get sent to where they need to be via one when they are discharged from the facility. Facility picks up the tab. #otalk |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair UCL HASU for the win! How novel, and super lovely of the nice @Uber drivers to be so kind to you all #OTalk #NHS #makingitwork |
| Nicole Claire Walmsley @NicoleCWalmsley very few patients in london drive… but there are a few. Those who do get advice from the GP or Stroke Physician in f/u. I think this is an area we could have much more input into #OTalk |

| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau I’m just going off what I’ve personally had! #OTalk |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @willchegwidden @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow Yep we do similar - good old fabulous @StrokeAssocLDN guidance on driving after stroke (why change a good thing!) and then referral to GP to discuss... #OTalk |
| Jennifer Crow @JenniferNCrow @RCOT_NP I usually give the Stroke Association information - it is easier to read. I do note that person has been provided with driving guidance, might include cog scores if something standardised was done but don't think the GP gets to the therapy end of the discharge letter #OTalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @chungsongyau It's the mild neglect that worries me most. May come across fine in a consultation room, but not a busy visual and cognitive task moving through space! #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk very important I think. The Stroke Drivers Screen is the only one mentioned in RCP2016 stroke guidelines due to its validity and reliability |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @willchegwidden @RCOT_NP @JenniferNCrow SO interesting that you make it part of an ESD goal though! I haven't done this before - is the goal literally 'to return to driving' ? I'm so intrigued - ANY ESD COLLEAGUES OUT THERE?? #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @NicoleCWalmsley I have a friend of mine who owns a mobile driving simulating business.

| Louise @Louisepenny87 @RCOT_NP @chungsongyau It’s ok. It’s the best we have. Dont have Rookwood but local driving Ax center uses it, so we don’t need to really.

| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @willchegwidden @chungsongyau Great, we look forward to seeing it #OTalk |
| #hellomynameisMarie @MrsMarieOT Explore the role and meaning driving has to the individual. Identify the occupations most important to them. Then be creative and think out of the box. Explore different methods, adaptation & approaches to achieving these occupation I.e., assistive transport, online yoga #Otalk |

| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @clayton66567791 @RCOT_NP YES PLEASE #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @Louisepenny87 @chungsongyau I think it is important to recognise the emotional impact of this. I know my father was reluctant to give up his licence due to deteriorating eye sight #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk Well that’s 9pm. Thank you very much everyone for your contributions. Thank you to @RCOT_NP stroke forum committee and thanks again @OTalk_ for having us again. I look forward to seeing the transcript as it will have a wealth of information. |

| Thérèse Lebedis OBE @therese_jackson Hi you can access it at https://t.co/GMxQXeYZeV |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @preston_jenny The DVLA will issue time limited provisional licences for some assessments at driving assessment centres. I think it depends on wether the assessment is within the centre or on actual road #otalk |
| RCOT Neuro Practice @RCOT_NP @clayton66567791 @therese_jackson @chungsongyau do you have a link for this we can share? #OTalk |
| Emma Playfair @EmPlayfair @chungsongyau @RCOT_NP @OTalk_ Thanks @chungsongyau and @louiseclark15 and all the fabulous OTs out there doing amazing things. You've exhausted me. #OTalk https://t.co/137mgSIsFr |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk Hi Jenny, yes they still need to have the licence, or in the case of testing, to have actually applied for it |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau RT @RCOT_NP: @chungsongyau Absolutely, good to clarify this. Important to have had formal assessment, but a useful option for practice and… |

| Thérèse Lebedis OBE @therese_jackson @preston_jenny Yes - I mean only for someone who doesn’t have ongoing deficits but lacks confidence #OTalk |
| Julia clifford @Cliffordju16 @NicoleCWalmsley @OTalk_ If someone wants to build confidence post-stroke and there aren’t any concerns based on cog, visual ax we can recommend ‘refamiliarization lessons’ with local driving instructors. We do refer for an on road assessment if capacity to drive needs formal assessment. #OTalk |

| ed sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @preston_jenny Driving licence required on public roads... no licence required for private land... so potentially people can drive a car on a driveway #OTalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @SusanGriffiths5 @chungsongyau Absolutely. There can be a lot of fear around informing the DVLA or voluntarily surrendering a liscence, and the perceived loss of role #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Also! If you enjoyed tonight's chat and think you might like to help us organise more chats, spread the word about what we do, or just hang out with a nice bunch of OTs (😉), we're looking for volunteers! #OTalk https://t.co/wEo7ihHycK |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @EmPlayfair I think it could be either, I was wondering about my own perception when trying to write the description! I figured someone using a screen reader would rather an inaccurate description than none at all 😅 #OTalk |
| Thérèse Lebedis OBE @therese_jackson @chungsongyau Source other options - public transport, volunteer drivers, community buses etc. Also think of other access options such as using online options to communicate and interact. #OTalk |
| Charlie Chung @chungsongyau #OTalk that’s what I saw too! |
