 | Katie Basak @KatieBasak @chungsongyau @RCOT_NP @FollowBIOS It's been a while since I last used twitter but I'm here & will try to keep up! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chungsongyau: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GeorgiaVineOT @Louisepenny87 @OTalk_ I think you should do a @thewfot oral presentation or poster on it. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1: #OTalk |
 | Leeds Complex Rehabilitation @CAHComplexRehab Following tonight’s #OTalk with interest this evening for a discussion on the topic of vision |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau Well- sometimes we have stroke patients with unilateral neglect. So, they often will lack awareness of their affected side, as this is a vision issue. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelTeasy: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Louisepenny87: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chungsongyau: #OTalk A nice broad question to get things going tonight - Question 1: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Dont forget those hashtags folks #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @chungsongyau As some of our esteemed orthoptist colleagues have written, stroke can affect vision in the following ways; 1. Loss of central vision 2. Visual field loss 3. Visual perceptual abnormalities 4. Eye movement abnormalities #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @drlisataylor: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @lauren_hepworth: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ChowardClaire: |
| Katie Basak @KatieBasak @GeorgiaVineOT @chungsongyau Particularly when experiencing visual processing difficulties? #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc RT @lauren_hepworth: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChowardClaire @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau and if driving was a meaningful occupation for these patients, a discussion is also warranted about whether they have to give up on driving due to safety issues. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ChowardClaire @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau and driving also involves another thing- what if these patients are power wheelchair/scooter users before the stroke? #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @lauren_hepworth @chungsongyau Cheeky follow-up question ... do you have you know the prevalences? I seem to remember you wrote a paper on just that #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chungsongyau: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ais_d: |
| Katie Basak @KatieBasak @musedNeuroOT @chungsongyau what is Balint's syndrome? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachelTeasy: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau Can lead to safety concerns (increased falls risk). Affect their ability to drive safely. Decreasing independence in the community. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @NicoleCWalmsley: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GeorgiaVineOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau I know at the nursing homes I work at, roaming around in wheelchair can be a meaningful occupation for some stroke patients. So, having harder times because of safety issues, that might forced them to be in bed more, or require more staff support to ensure safety. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Next question: #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @PaulWilkinson94: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Were now halfway through tonights #OTalk with @chungsongyau for @RCOT_NP https://t.co/m859OgZE9m |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @lornascott68 @chungsongyau Welcome aboard! Great to have you with us #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @PaulWilkinson94 @chungsongyau or for cases of wheelchair users- possible increased injuries to other people due to poor safety awareness. #otalk |
 | Emma Sutton @emmasusanOT @RCOT_NP We’ve developed a stroke specific referral form to our Orthoptists, and they occasionally come onto our unit if we have any urgent cases. But I’d love to have a regular Orthoptist as part of our MDT #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau In-depth assessments following screening. Providing glasses/patches for certain conditions. Providing education to the client and family. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Nicpinkney: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JasminLaffy: @chungsongyau In-depth assessments following screening. Providing glasses/patches for certain conditions. Providing education to the client and family. #OTalk |
 | Angela Carlin @angeydoll @BillWongOT @ChowardClaire @RCOT_NP @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau Often they no longer meet dvla standards so has a massive impact on any occupation #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau Yes- glasses is important. We have a stroke patient whose safety in his power chair improved AFTER he got his glasses. #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @chungsongyau It’s an interesting one ... cooking instructions on ready meals, use by dates etc. are most often in small print but being able to read them is key to independence #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @BillWongOT @chungsongyau Especially prism glasses that can help compensate for hemianopia #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JasminLaffy: @BillWongOT @chungsongyau Especially prism glasses that can help compensate for hemianopia #OTalk |

| Angela Carlin @angeydoll @chungsongyau The elderly patients find the difficult with scanning and reading particularly difficult #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @YmchwilStroc @chungsongyau in my work, actually patient census are ALSO in small print! I already have hard times reading them because of it (and I have good vision). I can't imagine how these individuals will feel if they have to work in my OT setting. #otalk |
 | Trich @Trichlils_OT RT @chungsongyau: #OTalk A nice broad question to get things going tonight - Question 1: |
| Trich @Trichlils_OT RT @chungsongyau: |
| Angela Carlin @angeydoll @chungsongyau Assessment, diagnosis, treatment, prisms, glasses, advice, counselling, support. Teamwork with rehabilitation teams. Therapists for eyes and how the brain uses them - hard for patients to understand their eyes are healthy even though they can’t see well. #Otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc RT @lauren_hepworth: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chungsongyau first, we have to understand what occupations are meaningful to them prior to the stroke. Then, we also need to determine how likely they will be able to perform these occupations- with or without AD. Afterwards, we collaborate with patients accordingly. #otalk |
| Katie Basak @KatieBasak @chungsongyau Screening, further assessment, education, emotional support, onward referrals, consider impact on ADLs and intervention to increase occupational performance #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau Screening tests. Referral to orthoptist. Interventions to increase visual field scanning. Compensatory techniques to allow return to occupations (depending on the client goals). #OTalk |
| Katie Basak @KatieBasak @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau to family/carers also especially for neglect as patient often lacks awareness #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ais_d @chungsongyau assistive devices. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ChowardClaire: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @KatieBasak: @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau to family/carers also especially for neglect as patient often lacks awareness #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @ChowardClaire @orthopticbrain @lauren_hepworth Such a great resource! Thanks for sharing #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KatieBasak @RachelTeasy @chungsongyau this is so important too! If they are discharged to home, they have to provide care and they will need to adapt the home environment for these patients. #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy RT @ChowardClaire: @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau You can download the VISA screening tool for free from here: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chungsongyau: #OTalk quickly on the back of the role of the orthoptist, question 3: |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ChowardClaire: @JasminLaffy @chungsongyau You can download the VISA screening tool for free from here: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @katvancleef @chungsongyau In the past I've used a pen to test for visual field - getting client to say when they see it. Asking about any vision changes. Also, tests such as Bells Test to screen for neglect. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4: #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 10 minutes left for tonights #OTalk @chungsongyau @RCOT_NP https://t.co/Rx7Yd9Yi6w |
| Angela Carlin @angeydoll @chungsongyau Educate patient and carers in their home environments. Consider this when offering any adaptations they may require? #Otalk |

| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @RCOT_NP We can look again to @lauren_hepworth for some evidence synthesis here ‘Post-stroke Visual Impairment: A Systematic Literature Review of Types and Recovery of Visual Conditions‘ https://t.co/axxiapT4m2 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RCOT_NP: |
| Emma Sutton @emmasusanOT Can anyone recommend any good apps we can use on our iPad? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Louisepenny87: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ChowardClaire: |
 | Jo @joisdancing Fab to have a neuro-specific #otalk tonight! Grateful to have orthoptist colleagues as part our wider MDT |
| Angela Carlin @angeydoll RT @ChowardClaire: |
 | Louise Harrison @LouHar71 RT @ChowardClaire: |
| Angela Carlin @angeydoll @ChowardClaire @chungsongyau Also Prisms, tracking tools, tracking and scanning ‘exercises’. But I believe listening and talking to the patient and offering an understanding of their condition when no one else understands goes a long way #Otalk |
| Angela Carlin @angeydoll RT @lauren_hepworth: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Research 3rd March 2020 – What is commercial research and is there a role for occupational therapy? https://t.co/jl4KpIqRtj |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thats our official #OTalk hour up! Thanks @chungsongyau on behalf of @RCOT_NP for hosting. https://t.co/31MPXfQvdR |

| Angela Carlin @angeydoll @chungsongyau @OTalk_ @RCOT_NP @ChowardClaire @lauren_hepworth @FollowBIOS Really enjoyed this. Great to see so many MDTs working to help our patients. I’m off to look for my #OTs tomorrow to get chatting about a better system. We work well but always room to learn and support. Thank you! #Otalk for welcoming @FollowBIOS to your talk 👀👍🏻 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ We will be back next week with the topic of Commerical Research. #OTalk |
| Angela Carlin @angeydoll RT @ChowardClaire: |
