| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ I know already😫 #OTalk |
 | claire kettlewell @clairelouOT @OTalk_ @preston_jenny Hiya, I'm here just reading and interested in everyone's views on this as it's not a subject I'm familiar with. #OTalk |
 | JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ @preston_jenny Hello everyone! I'll be lurking this time but looking forward to such an interesting topic /#otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Welcome, I'm sure you will be tempted to join in #OTalk |
 | Catherine McNulty (pronouns she/her) @cathymc9781 @OTalk_ @preston_jenny #OTalk hi there from the music session in Sleaford Lincs... So a lurker tonight |
| 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 |
 | Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @GeorgiaVineOT @OTalk_ 😂 is that an #OTalk record for a hashtag reminder? |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Q1 Do you have any experience of commercial research? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 1: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @preston_jenny That does seem to happen everytime I say I'm lurking. #otalk |
 | Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @OTalk_ @preston_jenny Evening all, research is definitely my bag but ‘commercial research’ has eluded me thus far. Will be interested to hear how can potentially overcome this as a profession #OTalk |

| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny I don't but it's something I'm interested in. #OTalk |
 | OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @preston_jenny: Thank you #OTalk delighted to be here tonight continuing with our research chats. Welcome everyone |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Working alongside the medics I’ve been exposed to it as it’s more common in pharmacological studies, but don’t have first hand experience #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @BillWongOT #otalk will miss you! Enjoy your birthday lunch though 🎉🥳 |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @preston_jenny Does sneaking into the doctors' sponsored lunches and eating the drug reps sandwiches safe in the knowledge that it wasn't unethical because I have nothing to do with prescribing count? 🤔 #OTalk |
| 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ 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 |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @OT_KateT @preston_jenny Interesting comment, do you think there’s an image problem for i.e. commercial research = unethical? #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny Please tell us more @preston_jenny #otalk ? It’s an interesting subject - you got our interest 👍 |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @preston_jenny No experience at all but it's something I'll keep my options open for in the future #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny It could be @emmaspellmanOT 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 |
 | god @SegunGTP RT @OTalk_: Good evening all and welcome to #OTalk, @Helen_OTUK on the account this evening, so if you have any questions, just give me a tweet. https://t.co/MYY4t4uTq0 |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @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 |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @preston_jenny Hmm, yes, that's a good point. Possibly just the nearest I've got.... #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Might any of the studies have a role for occupational therapy within the research team? #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @YmchwilStroc @OT_KateT @preston_jenny I remember in uni there was a sense that you had to be more critical with commercial research in case of bias. #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny I think this is very true @YmchwilStroc #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny Thank you @preston_jenny replying as part of #otalk. I have been invoked as part of strategic work setting up falls prevention service such as an systematic review of literature pertaining to telecare for example. Noting bigger than that - there’s a place for we OTs tho? |

 | James Lampert @uk_james RT @OTalk_: #OTalk Question 1: |

| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @preston_jenny: Might any of the studies have a role for occupational therapy within the research team? #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Definitely! Many studies require things like cognitive assessments or assessments of function, which are definitely within our sphere of professional competency. #OTalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james RT @OTalk_: *** Final reminder *** 15 mins until we are discussing: *** Final reminder *** 15 mins until we are discussing: What is commercial research and is there a role for occupational therapy? This month's #OTalk Research chat is host by Dr Jenny Preston, Consultant Occupational Therapist @preston_jenny Have a read https://t.co/YhE8ZNX9zM |
| 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 RT @YmchwilStroc: @preston_jenny Definitely! Many studies require things like cognitive assessments or assessments of function, which are definitely within our sphere of professional competency. #OTalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Definitely. I'd hope more towards drug companies than the researchers themselves, but you don't have to look too far to see very passionate, negative feelings towards mental health drug research. #OTalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny It's not insurmountable, but if we go there as a profession, let's learn the lessons from elsewhere about open access, conflicts of interest and anything else which helps ensure we stay trusted #OTalk |
 | Helen OTUK @Helen_OTUK @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny yes similarly I have done lit review work, and product reviews but didn't see it as research but can be part of a larger project. #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @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 |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @JasminLaffy @OT_KateT @preston_jenny But what’s more often the case is that negative results are less likely to be published. So whilst critiquing the studies that are published is important there is often a wealth of unreported data https://t.co/Uid7LMGx8D #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny Yes definitely @preston_jenny these are our occupational therapy standardised assessment #otalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @preston_jenny That's what jumped into my mind - could we influence the things measured when drugs are trialled. In mental health we could do a lot to help recognise the impact of side effects on people's lives and hence the chances of people actually being willing to take them long term #OTalk |

So whilst critiquing the studies that are published is important there is often a wealth of unreported data https://t.co/Uid7LMGx8D #OTalk |
 | Dr Nikki Daniels @NikkiDanielsOT @preston_jenny I led a study for the Medicines and Heakthcare Agency a few years ago. It involved assessing the features of a range of standing frames for children with cerebral palsy #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 2 |
 | Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT A bit late to the party, but I'm here, catching up on tonight's talk about research #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @Helen_OTUK: @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny yes similarly I have done lit review work, and product reviews but didn't see it as research but can be part of a larger project. #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @OT_KateT @preston_jenny That’s a really good point, recent moves to increase transparency in research I feel have made some good progress here #OTalk |
| 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 |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny @margaretOT360 I'm currently looking into getting sponsors for my blog. If I did would my #VirtualOTPlacement be classed a commercial research? I could never get sponsors before but my circumstances have changed #OTalk |
| James Lampert @uk_james RT @OTalk_: #OTalk Question 2 |
| James Lampert @uk_james @Amie_OT And late entry to the chat here too #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Not necessarily @GeorgiaVineOT 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 |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @JasminLaffy @preston_jenny I'm in the same boat, would be interested in commercial research but wouldn't know how to get involved #otalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny Could I do this through blogging especially due to my new #VirtualOTPlacement? #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @uk_james Better late than never 😉 #otalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny Right ok thank you! #OTalk you learn something new everyday! |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @NikkiDanielsOT @preston_jenny Sounds interesting, how involved were the commercial companies who manufacture the frames? #OTalk |
 | Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny Sorry to be so late. I had experience of commercial research at Coventry university. Managing expectations of companies re ethics was a challenge but doable #otalk |
| 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. |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT Found this definition of commercial research on NHS highland website #OTalk https://t.co/1QCZQbbkz7 |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny Thank you @preston_jenny, I'll make contact and keep an eye out for opportunities #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Is there any learning you can share @DrGillianWard. #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny Was this in your assistive technology research? #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 |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny Clear expectations, good project management, avoid “scope creep”, and being true to the principles of good ethical research are really important to protect participants in commercial research #otalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @preston_jenny: Is there any learning you can share @DrGillianWard. #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 @DrGillianWard #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @preston_jenny I hadn't even thought of that! #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Yes, I had a secondment to the health design and technology institute. Initially providing advice on methodology to evaluate products as part of an ERDF grant funded project. #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Potential to try out novel rehab technologies for free 👍🏼 #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny We have used the income to support research modules etc #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @preston_jenny: We have used the income to support research modules etc #OTalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT RT @preston_jenny: Q3. What are the benefits and challenges of commercial research for occupational therapists? #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Just learnt from @preston_jenny it can generate finances to out back into developing research capacity #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Definitely a huge benefit #OTalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny Ethical approval? #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Definitely a great benefit. Some of my patients recently tried a new gps watch linked with the local careline company, would have been interesting to have had an opportunity to be more involved in its development #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 |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny A chance to use our skills to innovate and develop new products that better meet the needs of people we work with #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny I guess its more common in my sphere of practice in stroke but as @preston_jenny this also applies in neurology. I also see potential in areas such as dementia or frailty #OTalk |
| Dr Nikki Daniels @NikkiDanielsOT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Really involved in that they leant us the frames to do the trials with, reps came and helped us to set kids up in the frames, and they attended stakeholder meetings. They were keen to benefit from the findings and some made changes to products based on our findings #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Another great example, thank you @DrGillianWard #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @YmchwilStroc: @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny I guess its more common in my sphere of practice in stroke but as @preston_jenny this also applies in neurology. I also see potential in areas such as dementia or frailty #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny I found it a really person centered process, companies were usually very keen to find out what the end user thought about their product #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @Amie_OT @preston_jenny That would be an ideal application for a commercial research study #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @Amie_OT: @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Definitely a great benefit. Some of my patients recently tried a new gps watch linked with the local careline company, would have been interesting to have had an opportunity to be more involved in its development #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ I'm new to this subject, but is it harder to overcome bias if you're effectively being paid by a company to do certain research? #otalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @preston_jenny I'd think being involved in different streams of research would expose a wider variety of people to occupational therapy and potentially generate more ideas and opportunities. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Question 4... |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny A challenge was when the companies didn’t like the results of what our research found! As it wasn’t what they wanted to hear! #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @YmchwilStroc @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny We use a lot of cognitive assessments, adls, mood monitoring etc within a dementia service #otalk |
| 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. |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @NikkiDanielsOT @preston_jenny Did having the support and leadership of the Medicines and Healthcare Agency help to maintain objectivity and manage competing commercial interests? #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny I was wondering that as well as the impact of the researchers not getting the answers they wanted #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @NikkiDanielsOT: @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Really involved in that they leant us the frames to do the trials with, reps came and helped us to set kids up in the frames, and they attended stakeholder meetings.

| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny What’s interesting is many of these assessments themselves are derived from commercial research #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @YmchwilStroc: @Amie_OT @preston_jenny That would be an ideal application for a commercial research study #OTalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT RT @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. |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny and something I could discuss with R&D #otalk |
| 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 |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny Right ok this is such an interesting topic is a shame there only 10 minutes left I've got so many questions! #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @YmchwilStroc @emmaspellmanOT @preston_jenny I didn't know that, it's interesting to know #otalk |
| OTEmmaS💚 @emmaspellmanOT @Amie_OT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Oh please give us some examples @Amie_OT love to know #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny We sought ethical approval through the university and did not recruit participants through the NHS - alternatives were local support groups and staff/students working at the uni with different health conditions #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Happy to chat beyond the session or dm me if you have specific questions #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard @Amie_OT @preston_jenny It was tricky, but we always made recommendations to the company as to what they could do to address any shortcomings or suggest future product development #otalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT @preston_jenny That's really interesting, it wouldn't have occurred to me as an easy way into research, but as you've pointed out, someone else has done all the bits I've no idea how to do - perfect! #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 |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @emmaspellmanOT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny We used to use the MMSE, but now use the mini ace, we use the PHQ-9 and geriatric depression scales, rhe Kingston behavioural scale, washing and dressing and kitchen assessments, have talked of using the MOCA familiar and unfamiliar tasks. Theres more I cant think of atm #otalk |
| 🇺🇦Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @preston_jenny Thank you! #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny As always it depends on the individual study, but a good place to start is with Good Clinical Practice, which is available online via the NIHR. They also offer other free interesting research related courses https://t.co/iaqtWzFxBy #OTalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @OTalk_ Action point for me, to look more into potential research opportunities and not rule out commercial research #otalk |
| Amie Jayne💚 @Amie_OT @DrGillianWard @preston_jenny I would imagine that's just as helpful in itself #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny RT @DrGillianWard: @Amie_OT @preston_jenny It was tricky, but we always made recommendations to the company as to what they could do to address any shortcomings or suggest future product development #otalk |

| Dr Nikki Daniels @NikkiDanielsOT @YmchwilStroc @preston_jenny Definitely. Without a doubt. It was a very interesting process. One of my most interesting findings, as an aside, was how influenced therapists were by companies and how unaware they were of equipment that was on the market that was much better suited to the kids needs #otalk |
| Kate Tudor @OT_KateT RT @YmchwilStroc: @preston_jenny As always it depends on the individual study, but a good place to start is with Good Clinical Practice, which is available online via the NIHR. They also offer other free interesting research related courses https://t.co/iaqtWzFxBy #OTalk |
