Thank you #OTalk delighted to be here tonight continuing with our research chats. Welcome everyone
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Welcome, I'm sure you will be tempted to join in #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Great to have so much interest tonight in this topic and thanks for the pre-chat engagement. So for our first question of the night #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Q1 Do you have any experience of commercial research? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Question 1:

Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Now that is an interesting question but I wonder if we confusing commercial activity with commercial research here? #OTalk https://t.co/9BpwpB8Eo5

Just a little reminder... don't forget to include #OTalk in your tweets, or they may not get seen and will not appear in the transcript. https://t.co/h38ZEwCzYd

It could be [REDACTED USER] as commercial research is the term used to describe research involved in the development of new medicines and healthcare technologies which are supported by pharma and industry #OTalk

RT @OTalk_: Good evening all and welcome to #OTalk, [REDACTED USER] on the account this evening, so if you have any questions, just give me a t…
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Might any of the studies have a role for occupational therapy within the research team? #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I think this is very true [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Many commercial research studies include functional outcome measures such as cognitive screens, timed walking tests, 9-hole peg tests etc. Could this be an opportunity for occupational therapists to get involved instead of research nurses? #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Q2. How did you think you might get involved in commercial research? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Question 2
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Absolutely, there are some great opportunities here to influence but interesting that many of us have ethical concerns about getting involved #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Not necessarily [REDACTED USER] that would be sponsorship. Commercial research has very strict governance processes in place and Trusts need to be able to demonstrate that they have the relevant supports in place #OTalk https://t.co/UWJtljH719
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
In the first instance talk to your R&D Department. They receive notifications of all commercial trials. If you have access to the population and as a research team can meet the requirements you can get involved #OTalk. No need to sign up to huge recruitment targets either.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Is there any learning you can share [REDACTED USER]. #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
It's well worth it ... literally as it generates financial income which can be reinvested in developing research capacity #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Q3. What are the benefits and challenges of commercial research for occupational therapists? #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Question 3...
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Excellent advice, thank you [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
We have used the income to support research modules etc #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Definitely a huge benefit #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Q4. As always trying to cram in the last few questions. Is there any additional training required to engage in commercial research? #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Another great example, thank you [REDACTED USER] #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk Question 4...
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
I'm guessing this is perceived as more of a challenge. Benefit is that local research teams are less involved in ethics applications as you will participate as part of a multi-site study #OTalk so the hard work is done.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
We found it a really helpful way to get the clinical team involved in research without it being too onerous #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Happy to chat beyond the session or dm me if you have specific questions #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
*** 5 mins *** to the end of the official #OTalk hour.... What are your final comments take away thoughts or CPD action points? https://t.co/5SwO5PGsw9
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny

#OTalk @OTalk_
Well that the end of the official #OTalk hour... but please do keep chatting, we do not add the transcript to the blog for at least 24 hrs so you can still add your thoughts. Thank you to @preston_jenny for hosting this evenings thought provoking discussion.
