 | Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @OTalk_ @93SophieC @GillyGorry Hello everyone! So proud of you for hosting tonight @93SophieC! #otalk |
 | Anna Broadbent @annabhg2 @OTalk_ @93SophieC @GillyGorry #otalk - and that bit! |
 | Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Let’s get started! Question 1: what are the main factors influencing/ that did influence your first post as a newly qualified? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Excellent question. |
| Emily Suffield @emilysuffield @93SophieC I went for a mixed rotation as it offered a wide range of experiences and a good support structure #otalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 It was the same area as I went into OT to work in. Working with people with learning disabilities was what I was doing as a volunteer . #otalk |
 | Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @93SophieC I want to feel like a "real OT" actually think I was a bit of a role snob and made many assumptions. I mostly wanted a challenge and a place to have a voice. #otalk. Switching between accounts. @OTalk_ |
| Rachel Johnson OT Seashell Trust @RJOTSeashell @93SophieC It was quite a long time ago for me😱 but I chose an area I had done a practice placement in as I felt that would help my confidence. #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @93SophieC I knew from my placements (particularly my final placement in a CAMHS clinic) that I wanted to work in mental health so that was a big part of my decision #OTalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @93SophieC I felt as though I needed to experience a range of settings so went for a rotation - it's so hard to know where you want to be! It's been challenging but has really helped me build my core OT skills and resilience #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 It was 35 years ago for me, and I still think it was the right choice as I still work in that area 😊#otalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @93SophieC I went with private practice that could offer me a range of clients with good support. Also I loved community OT in my placements #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @93SophieC #otalk I went with my gut! I had applied for an NHS posts & Social services post, got interviews. I hate interviews. I was offered both post. Told lady at NHS my situation & she said can you make a decision I have other people to call. #shockhorror!! Ok hello social services 👋🏾 |
 | Colleen Beck @TheOTtoolbox My first position was in 2000 and jobs were hard to find in my location at that time. I did land a position that offered a well-rounded experience in a variety of settings. It turned out to be a wonderful first job! #OTtalk |
 | Vanessa Phillips @VanessajpOT @93SophieC I think my placements and previous work experience massively influenced my first post and I think the variety of settings in the rotation helped too! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @margaretOT360: It was 35 years ago for me, and I still think it was the right choice as I still work in that area 😊#otalk |

 | Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC My first post was the same place/team where I had one of my placements and following this I worked in the holidays as an OTA. This meant that I did not have the anxiety that many newly qualified OTs had going into their 1st post. #otalk |

| Ellen @OTEllenUK @93SophieC I was definitely influenced by placement experiences. I knew I wanted a role in the community #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OTEllenUK: @93SophieC I was definitely influenced by placement experiences. I knew I wanted a role in the community #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OT_BenK: @93SophieC I always was interested in forensics and I did a placement in it and loved it! and here I am #OTalk 💁🏼♂️ |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @93SophieC @GillyGorry @OTalk_ I definitely relate to wanting a challenge - I knew when I read the description of my current role that it would be a bit more responsibility than I might have elsewhere since I would be working as the only OT on the team but I liked the idea of aiming high 😊#OTalk |
 | Hayley OT @hayleyot1 @93SophieC Always knew I wanted to work in a mental health setting, previous degree in psychology #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC I knew when I took on this first post that it was not an area I wanted to stay in but I was able to get 9 months post qualifying experience before getting my dream job (at the time) in mental health. It easier to get a job once you got your foot in the door! #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @OTEllenUK Yes the type of role as well at the population we want to work with is a big decision that placement can give us insight into #OTalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🪐 @OT_BenK @93SophieC I think so as I found placements you really did get to see OT in action compared to uni theory based work. It also allowed me to learn about diffrent models of practice and ways of working! #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @sherlynmelody What a great approach, anywhere you go with enthusiasm will always be a positive learning experience ! #OTalk |
 | Jack McKnight @JackMcK50281163 @93SophieC I have only applied for one the things that are influencing me are an area of practice I'm interested in or rotation to see what I like. Also I'm a mature student with a family who have been through alot during my qualifying process so geographical area is a factor. #OTalk |
 | Enable Me Solutions- OT & Case Management Services @CarolineSturdy @93SophieC #OTalk all my placements were NHS so naturally I felt like I should apply for a rotational post. 6 yrs later moved to housing & I've been in the community every since. When I trained there weren't many SS placements so I never experienced it as a student. Is that the same now? |
 | latísh @tis7ha @OTEllenUK @93SophieC Placement gave me an insight, I think I always knew I wanted to work in the hospital environment. Knowing rotations were an option to build on skill set & gain experience in various areas definitely sold it for me starting out as a NQ🙌🏼 #OTalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @93SophieC @OTEllenUK I think my placements influenced me in the other way - I didn't feel I knew enough about working in mental health from my 1 placement in a really specialist setting so I wanted a chance to explore that :) #OTalk |
 | Chloe Dickson @ChloeDicksonOT @93SophieC My first post was influenced by my final placement as a student. Loved my time in paediatrics and was desperate to go back. Was so lucky to get my job in my final placement #otalk |
| 💚🇯🇲 Sherlyn 🇬🇧💚 @sherlynmelody @93SophieC #otalk I found that to be the case with all my placements. I was enthusiastic coz I really wanted to be the best OT 😆 It was a career change for me and my dream job. |
| latísh @tis7ha @93SophieC I went to visit the trust & was really impressed by what the staff were saying & pilots they were carrying out. I also really wanted to complete a preceptorship programme to help transition/bridge the gap! #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Question 2 coming up.... What are the possible benefits and challenges of entering a static, third sector post as a newly qualified practitioner ? I definitely had some FOMO (fear of missing out) at first ! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Another good question. #otalk |
| Hannah Spencer @hspenceruk @sherlynmelody @93SophieC Sounds familiar here too - I can't help but enjoy all learning experiences, placement and uni based 😀 open minded for 1st role come Autumn too #OTalk |
| Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @colourful_ot @93SophieC @OTalk_ And you Excel I'm sure! #otalk |
 | Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @93SophieC A benefit is it gives more attention to areas that are often overlooked. #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @GillyGorry @93SophieC @OTalk_ I'm constantly learning, I'll put it that way 😁 #OTalk |
| Gilly- does- Doing @GillyGorry @93SophieC There can be challenges around supervision. Self monitoring own competence. But there are many benefits to exploring new ways of doing things a d learning to stand on your own two feet #otalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Challenges - lone working, no OT team benefits -autonomy, making a difference, making your own decisions #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @margaretOT360: Challenges - lone working, no OT team benefits -autonomy, making a difference, making your own decisions #otalk |
| Emily Suffield @emilysuffield @93SophieC It could be challenging if you were the only OT, and might not be as much support through preceptorship etc. but would be a really good way to challenge yourself, practice autonomously and build confidence! #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 RT @GeorgiaVineOT: @93SophieC A benefit is it gives more attention to areas that are often overlooked. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wow half way through already! #otalk https://t.co/Ar60Qi2FvW |
| Lucy Griffiths @LGOTSeashell @93SophieC If I am honest I went into the first available role in my local hospital - adult elderly care - despite knowing I wanted a paediatric role. At the time it was very rare to get in as a band 5 so gained experience until the dream role came up!! #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 RT @GillyGorry: @93SophieC There can be challenges around supervision. Self monitoring own competence. But there are many benefits to explo… |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC More isolated with less peer support; often thrown in the deep end and are expected to hit the floor running. You either drown or you thrive on the challenge and develop your OT skills and experience much quicker #OTalk |
 | Poppy Goodall @poppy_goodall #OTalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🪐 @OT_BenK @93SophieC I feel for me going in to a static post works as I take a long time to settle and process things and I feel I can grow my confidence and specialise in an area I’m interested in. Compared to doing a rotation which I don’t think I’d settle or feel as confident as I am now #OTalk |

| Hannah Spencer @hspenceruk Good thread for us final year pre-reg #StudentOT lot as we begin to ponder our potential next steps. Interesting to read what influenced others' first qualified posts #OTalk @DerbyOTsociety @SPOTeurope |
| Ben Kirkwood 🪐 @OT_BenK @93SophieC Yet some times I feel doing a rotation gives you more experience in all areas of OT and and different practices and way of working 🤔 #OTalk |
 | Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @93SophieC I found not working in a traditional OT role I worried about missing out of core OT skills and lack of repel indemnity as an OT. But I was amazing for my confidence and being able talk about what OT is #OTalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @93SophieC So far in loving it! So much learning and growth in a short amount of time #otalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Me too #OTalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @93SophieC Can't answer from experience but I know for me it felt a daunting prospect and I wanted the support and structure of an established preceptorship programme. I think it can be a great opportunity work autonomously and build your professional confidence though! #OTalk |
 | Nicky Phillips @NickyP_OT @93SophieC I dont speak from experience as I'm in the NHS, but there's so much red tape here... I imagine 3rd sector jobs have a bit less of this? #Otalk |
 | Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @93SophieC I always knew I wanted to work in Paediateics, I had a placement within my current team and when a B5 position came up I knew straight away I wanted it! Knowing the team and service model was definitely a motivator #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Not necessarily. #otalk |
| Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @93SophieC In terms of not doing a rotation a sometimes worry that I have not tried many areas but I love the area of peadiatrics and can see myself staying in the area #OTalk |

| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @JasminLaffy Yes definitely @JasminLaffy , lots of opportunity for growth in a short space of time #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC That's a perfect description of my current position - I think I've learned a lot more in a short period of time than I might have otherwise (and developed a stronger professional identity) but being thrown in the deep end has been stressful occasionally 😅#OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Yes you have to create your own boundaries and policies #otalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @emilysuffield @OT_BenK @93SophieC Definitely agree! While I think in some ways that's good for building that confidence it can be so hard to keep starting again as soon as you've found your feet! #OTalk |
| Lucy Griffiths @LGOTSeashell #OTalk |
| Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @VanessajpOT @93SophieC My first two jobs were not in the NHS so I am very interested in trying the Nhs to see the difference #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 You have probably covered most things though #otalk |
| Poppy Goodall @poppy_goodall @93SophieC I think the benefits would be being able to set up an OT service working alongside service users and gaining lots of confidence when clinical reasoning ! #OTalk |
 | Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @93SophieC I originally was looking at rotation posts in a hospital setting. But a community band 5 post came up.. from my community placement I loved assessing people in their home environment. Now my post is part of a rotation so worked out really well to have time in each setting #OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @OT_BenK @93SophieC That was my thinking as well, especially in some areas of mental health where it can take months to get to a point where you have a good enough relationship with someone to really be helpful to them #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Yes I would hate that #otalk |
| JasminOT @JasminLaffy @EllieOTforKids @93SophieC Yes I feel this as well. It seems like people strive for the rotational positions of of uni. I wanted a steady position I could gain solid experience in. But I questioned if I was missing out several times #otalk |
| Anna Broadbent @annabhg2 @93SophieC I’m a newly qualified mature student working as a lone OT, for me benefits include autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to develop the role - challenges centre around establishing professional boundaries and articulating OT and gaps in clinical knowledge #otalk |

| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @LGOTSeashell Good point @LGOTSeashell - every job is still a great learning opportunity! #OTalk |
| Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @JasminLaffy @93SophieC I knew that I didn’t want to work in a hospital so I figaured look for something I do fancy instead 🤷♂️#OTalk |
| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @annabhg2 @93SophieC I've really appreciated the autonomy, especially being able to make choices about how I'm applying theory and evidence to practice (e.g. choosing to use MOHO-based assessments since I think they make the most sense for the people I work with) #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 RT @colourful_ot: @annabhg2 @93SophieC I've really appreciated the autonomy, especially being able to make choices about how I'm applying t… |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @OTalk_ @93SophieC @GillyGorry Logged onto the wifi while I’m away ☀️ This looked like a great chat to be part of & to see the discussions. Hello everyone 👋🏼 #OTalk |
| Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @margaretOT360 I have only ever worked in small teams of OT since graduating (teams of 2 OTs max) I am very keen to work in a bigger team to learn from others #OTalk |

 | RachelEastOT @east_ot @93SophieC I believed that the fast pace of a hospital environment would be the best (quickest) way of building up my medical knowledge across a diverse range of patient groups. I wasn’t wrong - I’ve learnt so much even in 6 months! #OTalk |
 | Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC My 1st job post qualification was public health community development/health education - v different from practice placements but pre-training I worked in the charity sector, was interested in #SocialDeterminantsofHealth and prevention & thought OT skills would help #Otalk |

| 💚OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT @93SophieC A benefit might be growing your own service in a non traditional area and really using OT skills in innovative way. A challenge might be risk of role blurring, I guess focus needs to be fixed on occupation #otalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC It’s great to hear all your experiences and thoughts - sounds like you’re all drawing the most from your roles! Time for question 3: What do you think could be done to open up doors for newly qualified therapists in 3rd sector settings? #OTalk |

| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT @93SophieC From my role emerging placement, I can imagine benefits are being able to create your own role, in an innovative way. Challenges may be worrying about your OT identity& depending on the setting, supervision and support structures to help with your professional development #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #otalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Having student placements makes services realise what we can do and that they need a #occupationaltherapist #otalk I have had students go on to work in areas they have created roles in on a 3rd sector placement |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @emilysuffield @93SophieC It was, I learned a lot & worked with a lovely team #OTalk |

| Emily Suffield @emilysuffield @93SophieC Maybe linking up between organisations to create peer supervision opportunities? #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @margaretOT360 Great point! Going into role emerging settings is a great way to show off the fantastic impact OT can have! #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 RT @93SophieC: @margaretOT360 Great point! Going into role emerging settings is a great way to show off the fantastic impact OT can have! #… |
| Opportune-OT @Opportune_OT @93SophieC More role emerging placements! #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @93SophieC More education and involvement in conferences? #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC Clear information on how to go about getting OT supervision and peer support. Link up with other organisations especially for preceptorship.#otalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @emilysuffield Great idea :) #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Should happen on every course. Fantastic opportunity for students. #otalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @Opportune_OT I completely agree! #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT In addition to this, benefits may include, using the role to promote the role of occupational therapists💚 to other professionals & third sector organisations. Showing where we fit into the organisation & how we can support them & service users who are part of it #OTalk |
| Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @margaretOT360 For me my role emerging placement followed by the OT leadership and innovation modules at uni made me feel like writing a service plan and designing my own job could be done. #OTalk |
| 💚OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT @93SophieC With our growing evidence based we academics can further improve learning materials within related modules such as practice placement and contemporary issues/entrepreneurial #otalk would help students to prepare for related roles |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 A few people including myself offer Supervision for #OT’s in emerging roles #otalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @93SophieC I think ensuring there is appropriate support that can easily be accessed for newly qualified OTs and communicating what that looks like to potential applicants would be really key #OTalk |
| Opportune-OT @Opportune_OT @EllieOTforKids @margaretOT360 It can be done! #OTalk |

| Rachel Johnson OT Seashell Trust @RJOTSeashell I agree that role emerging placements and traditional placements within the third sector are a great way to give OT students a taster. #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @JessOTPowell @JessOTPowell Love this! We definitely need to be tooting our OT horns! #OTalk |

 | Zoë Nicholls @ZoeNicholls_OT @93SophieC I’ve accepted a rotation post at the hospital closest to my parents house as still unsure of where I want to work eventually and also like that I’ll have support at home whilst going through the transition to newly qualified #otalk |

| Carolina Cordero 🌈 @colourful_ot @OT_BenK @93SophieC I think it's much closer to how we get to know people in "real life"; outside of work I wouldn't expect someone I'd just met to tell me their life story #OTalk |

| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC Final question: What resources and strategies could you use as a newly qualified to support development in areas where formal preceptorship may not be available? #OTalk |

| Anna Broadbent @annabhg2 @93SophieC Agree with all of the previous - opportunities for peer support, easier access to other OT’s working in similar clinical and geographical areas and maybe some kind of long arm style supervision #otalk |

| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Good Supervision would provide this #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @margaretOT360 I think there is a need for more OTs to offer this service like you #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @margaretOT360 True! With both peers and managers- we can be a great resource to each other #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC Twitter is a great place to get peer support #OTalk |
| Ellie Bamber @EllietheOT @93SophieC Peer support and good use of clinical supervision. Defiantly need to keep on top of CPD #OTalk |
| Sophie Cresswell @93SophieC @SusanGriffiths5 It certainly is - thanks #OTalk ! |

| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 All the students @sheffhallamuni undergrad and pre reg #OccupationalTherapy course have a role emerging placement as part of their assessed 1000 hours. Amazing experience and learning opportunity from both sides. A real win/win #otalk |
| Ellen @OTEllenUK @93SophieC @margaretOT360 For me, peer support has been invaluable! #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer @margaretOT360 Thanks Susan 😊 #otalk |
 | Rachel OT 🌻 @_rachelOT @93SophieC I went into a 'generic' role, against quite a lot of well meaning advice that I needed to first learn to be a 'proper OT'. I knew I wanted to work in mental health + a good preceptorship. I have so much autonomy to work in an occupation focused way with everyone I meet! #otalk |

| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC Depends on the job! Benefits can be ⬆️ flexibility in processes/services & making quicker service improvements - in the 3rd sector you often become multi-skilled as you pick up ‘extra jobs.’ You can also get good opportunities in project planning & evidencing impact #OTalk |

| Rachel Johnson OT Seashell Trust @RJOTSeashell Absolutely - I have been an OT for nearly 25 years and still benefit so much from my clinical supervision. #OTalk |
| Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OTKatieP @93SophieC I feel exactly the same!😊 Which is why I'm doing a #VirtualOTPlacement #OTalk |

| Emily Suffield @emilysuffield @93SophieC Thanks @93SophieC great #otalk |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC Challenges - difficulty accessing OT supervision & maintaining OT network, concerns about how evidence from a non-traditional role for meeting professional standards will be viewed & not fitting traditional NHS hierarchy/bands - what this might mean for future employment #Otalk |
| Katie Phipps @OTKatieP @GeorgiaVineOT @93SophieC @OTalk_ This is fantastic stuff Georgia - what a brilliant idea! Looking forward to reading more as your placement progresses 😊 Good luck with it all! #VirtualOTPlacement #OTalk |
| Ben Kirkwood 🪐 @OT_BenK I really enjoyed this #OTalk tonight thanks @93SophieC ☺️🙌🏻 |
| Alison Janes @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC Completely agree re: maintaining communities of practice. Don’t be afraid to communicate what you do - a tweet, blog, piece in @OTnews, opinion piece or research in a journal - to share knowledge, keep improving, build an evidence base & notice where there are gaps! #OTalk |

 | Mandy Graham @MandyGrahamOT Well done Sophie! 👏👏👏 @OTLeeds graduates continuing to make us proud! @ClinAppSciLBU |
 | Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC I’d applied for a few mixed rotations but nothing came of them. I fell into this role by accident and I love the work. #OTalk |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC Def FOMO! I still think that I’ve limited my future a bit. I’m an older OT but only newly qualified ( how long do I say that for?) challenges are that I’m isolated, but well supported iyswim #OTalk |
 | Barbara Ann Smith @Babsyslapsy @93SophieC #OTalk. I wanted variety of experience to build on experience from placemen5 and new experience. Mixed ages and both physical and mental health. Live somewhere I could afford to buy a property |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC Something I need to address: a relationship with universities and offering placements #OTalk |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC I used the RCOT guidance and worked with my professional supervisor. It’s on my radar to devise one for the company #OTalk |
| 💚OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @margaretOT360: A few people including myself offer Supervision for #OT’s in emerging roles #otalk https://t.co/cc7nIoJl6C |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC Exactly, innovation, also needed from employers. Not all of us have it need to have done a standard rotation. #OTalk |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC I ve been very fortunate and love my role. Certainly need ambition and innovation to make the mist of it #OTalk |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC I think I thrived!!! #OTalk |
| Anna Broadbent @annabhg2 @93SophieC Well done Sophie, great job - my first #otalk too |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @colourful_ot @SusanGriffiths5 @93SophieC Ditto that. I really had to get a grip of my OT identity quickly. #OTalk |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @annabhg2 @93SophieC Very similar to mine and I love it. Especially the autonomy. #OTalk |
| Molly Harris @mollharrisOT @93SophieC The trust I work in runs specific professional development meetings for band 5s working in all areas throughout the trust so you get to meet other therapists working in settings similar or completely different setting to your own which is interesting! #OTalk |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @NickyP_OT @93SophieC I feel that they do, more room for innovation too #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT Great #OTalk discussions tonight & spoke to @lallyanne on Twitter, another Occupational therapist joining me on @scotterwardlchs in April when I rotate! Multitasking at its finest, I’ve been enjoying my time at the beach front bar with mum 💕🥂💚 #lovelyevening @OTalk_ |
| Deb HOME. @debbieduckie @93SophieC Definitely use online communities, use whatever you have and forge those relationships. I’ve worked hard to not be one a generic worker and retain my occupational identity, there have been challenges! #OTalk |
| Bethany Marshall @BethjmOT Thanks @93SophieC for hosting the #OTalk- fab discussions & I’ll catch up with reading the rest of them when I’m home. You did a great job 🥰 |

| James Lampert @uk_james @BethjmOT @93SophieC I see @debbieduckie has been part of #OTalk on this topic, whether third or private sector there are similar challenges if not part of a large NHS or local authority structure. Creative opportunities avail and I’d suggest there’s nothing static, more fast paced and innovative! |
| James Lampert @uk_james @tis7ha @93SophieC A good OT supervisor will help you to challenge yourself and if you’re drawn to those kinds of roles then you’ll probably be the person to seek out and create your own #OTalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james @kaleidoscopier @93SophieC There are plenty of ways of becoming parts of OT networks and I shouldn’t worry either about being part of the herd. There’s plenty of ways too of maintaining professional standards no matter who employs you or if you’re working as an independent practitioner #otalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james @debbieduckie @NickyP_OT @93SophieC There’s no holding you back on some of the fab stuff you’re doing Deb! #OTalk Hoping that we get some new grads applying for the Technology Enabled Care posts I’m advertising in Worthing, West Sussex, for our new service right now https://t.co/4mOQ77i2TG |
