Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello peeps! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Remember the first rule of #OTalk - include the hashtag (there’s only one ‘T’ in OTalk) https://t.co/0pLL2HgWEM
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT Hi Bill! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q1. Tonight we’re talking about #TheOTShow. Did you go? Or read tweets? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@kerri_schOT Hi Kerri! Great to have you with us tonight #OTalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
#otalk Evening!
#OTalk @OTalk_
@RachaelD_OT Hi Rachael! Thanks for joining us tonight #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@dmay_ot Hi Deb! Welcome! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I have read tweets. Somehow someway the OT show was not able to fit into my personal schedule for a few years now. #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
#otalk I went. Only on the Thursday though. learned a lot - as I always do!
#OTalk @OTalk_
@kerri_schOT @kerri_schOT @BillWongOT what was your experience of reading tweets? Were you able to pick up useful/interesting info? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @OTalk_ For me will be really out of my way. I have to time my travels perfectly so that I don’t get fatigued. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q2. For those who attended/followed #TheOTShow this year, what were your highlights? What did you learn? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @kerri_schOT I think it was a reasonable amount to get to know what is going on. Seeing pics actually helps this OT across the pond to know what the experience is like. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT @kerri_schOT Agree, photos really help give a sense of what it’s like! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Helen_OTUK Great to meet so many of our community!! Did anyone here tonight come visit us on the stand? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Helen_OTUK Mostly courtesy of me... 😂 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @OTalk_ For me is too many conferences in a year. I am not doing what I pledged to do. #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
#otalk @GeekyOT you were great. I learned a lot - took some ideas back to placement and on a personal level, I've borrowed catan from a friend!!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ @kerri_schOT Better than me... still 0 in number of these attended and I am aware of it for 6 years now. #otalk

@dmay_ot @GeekyOT Great to hear! How was Catan?! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 @OTalk_ Next year could bring some challenges... since I will put my first step in the door of OT academia starting next month. #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@colourful_ot @BillWongOT @OTalk_ #otalk I'm lucky. Birmingham is no further than placement setting (but just in the opposite direction) and I got released for the day if I promised to go and see and meet @Keirwales

#OTalk @OTalk_
@kerri_schOT @BillWongOT @Lucygordon83 Has it generally become harder to get time off for conferences etc in recent years? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@dmay_ot @colourful_ot @OTalk_ @Keirwales At least I got one consolation... I will go there for #rcot2019. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@Lucygordon83 @kerri_schOT @BillWongOT Glad you were able to catch up online! Grateful for all the tweeters #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @kerri_schOT @Lucygordon83 For me is setting dependent. My setting is the most flexible... so theoretically is actually the most possible. Just that 8 conference is already way too much for me! #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
#otalk OT and existentialism blew my mind a bit but I think Its something I'll keep coming back to to see if I can make useful sense of it.

#OTalk @OTalk_
@dmay_ot Gosh this sounds complex. Was this a presentation? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@colourful_ot @dmay_ot @GeekyOT Maybe a chat for the new year?? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q3. What did you think of the exhibition? What did you find something new or interesting? (And what’s the best freebie you picked up? 😁) #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@colourful_ot @dmay_ot @GeekyOT Ps, yup! Used it in my board games group 😁 and have also played outside of work - a classic! #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@colourful_ot @OTalk_ @dmay_ot @GeekyOT You have to teach me how to play that. I never heard of it. #otalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@OTalk_ #Otalk as a student its slightly overwhelming. It's very equipment oriented and I'm very aware that the ranges will all have changed by the time I need anything for a future client group. It's useful to know who is providing kit though.
Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo
@OTalk_ Hi everyone #OTalk didn't make conference this year it was my birthday and we were away..... Maybe next year....
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q4. What could #TheOTShow do to make it a better experience next year? #OTalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@Helen_OTUK @SymphonyKitchen #otalk I wanted that kitchen for personal use - I really want flexible work tops which suit my 7yo AND my 6' husband!!! It was rather beautiful!
#OTalk @OTalk_
@dmay_ot @Helen_OTUK @SymphonyKitchen OMG feel like I missed out - did anyone get a photo? #OTalk
Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo
@OTalk_ #OTalk q4 next year make accessibility key on your agenda... Pitch to all of us to suggest ideas to make conference accessible to all.... Has opened my eyes having kids it's very difficult to attend things. I want to see augmented reality conferences so I can see whilst at home.
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@Helen_OTUK #otalk I have slipper envy....
Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo
@OTalk_ #OTalk and want to see a virtual real-time feed, and maybe competitions or ways for those who can't attend eg due to being unwell, cost of transport to conference or other reason to be more involved
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@smileyfacehalo @OTalk_ I would get a late start since I always am 8 hours behind when everything is going on. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q5. Who would you like to see presenting at #TheOTShow next year and what sort of topics would interest you? #OTalk
deb_OT @dmay_ot
@OTalk_ #otalk - some of the sessions based on interventions people have done are really useful - especially the more unusual ones. Like board games. Similarly @LaughingOT on service mapping in austerity. Its ideas that other people have tried and tested which I value.

@OTalk_ @LaughingOT #otalk this came up in a midlands cypf event recently - people talking about innovative ideas they've tried (they don't necessarily have to be successful - there's learning in that too) was picked up as an idea for a future meeting.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I will come if I get invited. But that’s some time down the line of people are interested. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Q6. Finally, did #TheOTShow prompt any ideas for #OTalk chats? If you’d like to host one, you can always register your interest on our blog https://t.co/Kf8nFtq4Zi
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@margaretOT360 At least it is not AOTA conference poster sessions pace I hope. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I have been on a hiatus this year. So I would like to be back in the game. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Almost forgot - #TheOTShow bingo! #OTalk

@margaretOT360 I feel every conference is that way! Networking to strengthen existing relationships is often overlooked. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Last couple minutes of tonight’s #OTalk chat - any final thoughts? (don’t worry, you can always add your comments after the end of the chat - we grab the transcript after 24 hours)

@CommunityLD_OT @OTalk_ I do contribute to the autism OT community even though I work in step down units. Have you got a copy of the Autism Across the Lifespan: An Occupational Therapy Approach book? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
And i think next week’s #otalk is the last for 2018, right? After all, the following week is Christmas Day.
