 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT hello peeps! #otalk |
 | JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy Very early good morning from me. Excited for this #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ not so much... I don't think this has taken off in the USA at the moment. #otalk |
 | Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #otalk hello! for me social prescribing is a massive part of occupational therapy, it is a non medical intervention supporting people to engage in meaningful activity in their local community |
 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @gscottOTS: @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #otalk hello! for me social prescribing is a massive part of occupational therapy, it is a non medical intervention supporting people to engage in meaningful activity in their local community |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ seems like if we are in the era of staying at home/social distancing, we will need to adapt what we can prescribe. So perhaps instead of outdoors activities (if option is not available), we can recommend some Zoom (or similar meetings) for our service users to join. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: |
 | Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt A1: Social prescribing is the use of activities and occupations to address physical and mental health issues, a 'new' initiative in primary care, which OT's have been encouraging for a long time! |
 | Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Thinking innovatively to empower the individual to make their own choices of possible solutions #OTalk |

| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #otalk - absolutely - it's about connection, doesn't need to be about connecting in the physical environment, can be social aswell |
| Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt Forgot to ad #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Yes- when I recommended OT's to consider hosting TEDCircles recently, we can also do this from this angle other than grassroots advocacy to general public, since such groups are intimate in nature (I heard best practice is 12 max.) #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch It is! Although I don't think we have specific social prescribers, but using community activity as an intervention is very common #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ haha- I see an application of that with myself this past Sunday. I joined a sing-a-long with a group of TEDxers. It was a great sense of community even though we come from all over the globe as well as various backgrounds. #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Under or NDIS system people can get government funding for support workers to take them out to community events. /#otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sarah_bodell: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT I agree, I feel OTs can steer it in a goal directed manner and a social prescriber might not. #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I agree! OTs are about getting people participating in the occupations they want and are meaningful. Even if you don't realise it social prescribing is part of this #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I sort of touched on that with a recent reply. My most recent experience was a TEDxers sing-a-long on Sunday. It was something I never did before. But, it was fun. We will do it again on Sunday. This time every participant will bring his/her favorite song. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @RebeccaCrouch @BillWongOT @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT I agree and think as OTs we might be able to help here to adjust how to engage. Eg, my partner plays darts, this is good for phys/mental health. He is now using video call to take part in matches to help cope with lockdown. We just changed the how and where #otalk |

| Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I worked in a primary care service that were looking at hosting what sounded like a social prescribing clinic. GP/nurses would refer to these people who would look at local communities/activities that suited the patient. Didn't end up happening. I never hear 'OT' mentioned #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @OTalk_ @RebeccaCrouch @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT definitely! sounds great! we are chief probelms solvers at overcoming environmental barriers to engagement in occupation #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ @RebeccaCrouch @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT well- for me as a golfer, I will just have to count down the days until the links are opened again! I don't want to hit errant golf balls and break my neighbor's windows... lol! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Remember to include #Otalk in all tweets please. |
 | OfficialCAHPR @OfficialCAHPR And #OTalk is also happening right now... |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ yes- it is an ad hoc in response to the current situation. We had about a dozen people from all over the globe joined. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sarah_bodell: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ and within that community also, because some of us are learning how to host TEDCircles, so we also invited one another so that we can get real constructive feedback so that we can do better when we open up beyond that group. #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sarah_bodell: |
| Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt @anyadei @SusanGriffiths5 @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Would this be due to the referral service? Perhaps be made easier if more OT's work in primary care? #Otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @anyadei: |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ On my most recent placement I was made aware of the community services and activity groups that patients could get involved with post-discharge. All very optional, but difficult to gauge levels of interest of patients due to diagnosis of dementia. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LauraCoffin_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @SusanGriffiths5: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sarah_bodell: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @SusanGriffiths5 @anyadei @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Here in Australia we don't have social prescribers. All done by the OT contacting community organisations #OTalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @SPOTeurope totally agree!! it's natural to us! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @sarah_bodell @ChrissisOt @anyadei @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT Maybe this could be built into reablement? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LauraCoffin_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I know I might be off topic with this one... but now more TEDx events are going virtual. So, another way for OT's is to be bold to step up as licensees for TEDx events! Some licensees are college students, so it is doable... it's just the matter of how motivated we are! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Collaboration is key. Maybe somebody who doesn't have as much interest in research can partner up with somebody who does. Or more clinician-uni partnerships! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @sarah_bodell @RachaelD_OT @ruthotlife @SPOTeurope @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT If it's my guess from my experiences as a pioneer of sorts in OT, venture to roads less traveled can be scary. #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I've referred people to a thing called men's shed quite often and certain sporting teams or social gatherings. Great way to get some community involvement and incidental physical exercise for the clients #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RebeccaCrouch You are right that we CAN'T do everything. So, I think we should be strategic on the things that we SHOULD do! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT @anyadei @sarah_bodell @SusanGriffiths5 I certainly look at leisure in my job #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @anyadei: |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Keeping track of recommended activities. We may offer a variety of schemes, but which ones are actually chosen by the client and why, why not the others. What is it about certain social prescribing schemes that is more attractive than others? #OTalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ some #rcot policies such as #gettingmylifeback uses examples of social prescribing within OT interventions, there is a wonderful eg. regarding parkrun, we need to be more involved in showcasing what we can do and add to social prescribing as its taking off, it's core OT #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @debbieduckie @margaretOT360 We do!! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 @GeorgiaVineOT true- I think my experiences as a pioneer has been fun and exciting. Now for some of the things... who is/are going to take the baton from me? #otalk https://t.co/dcOQQS8GHu |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @cathymc9781: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ruthotlife @sarah_bodell @RachaelD_OT @SPOTeurope @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT @otalk I have seen that scary part. I still have many OT's saying to me that curating TEDx events is ludicrous after last year, even though it is a proactive way for us to share #valueofot #otalk! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sarah_bodell: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LauraCoffin_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @debbieduckie @margaretOT360 haha- I am in the wrong country then! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @debbieduckie @margaretOT360 Maybe you need to kidnap me and make me practice in the UK. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @sarah_bodell: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4 #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RachaelD_OT @ruthotlife @SPOTeurope @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT I think we need to explain our role to GPs better. I've explained what I do to a few GPs and they had no idea and were very excited to refer. A lot just think of hospital OTs #otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I'd also say theres a point where we as OTs need to shout louder about our skills and profession- as has been said, social prescribing is not a new concept and stems from OT values, we can contribute so much if we truly own our skills! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 And what I have done in the TED world essentially is my interpretation of how my late mentor, Terry Olivas De La O, did while she was alive, as she was well connected outside of OT too in local community. #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ as students we visited the scottishparliament and liased the @RCOT_PolicySco officer about how #ots can get involved, influence and support policy at national level - few weeks later in social prescribing debate a #ot definition for SP was used by one of the ministers! #otalk 1/2 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ruthotlife @sarah_bodell @RachaelD_OT @SPOTeurope @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT @otalk Yes- many OT's like to speak, but not too many will consider organize/curate! #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @RCOT_PolicySco we need to know be shy about what we do, and use evidence based practice and core, adaptable communication skills to be involved #otalk 2/2 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @debbieduckie @margaretOT360 I don't know when the next time I will come to UK yet. But, I know I will make an appearance to COTEC-ENOTHE if travel restrictions are lifted. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @margaretOT360 I think more OT's need to take a page from my book! Maybe accounts like mine need to be the norm- as I am not only broadly connected within OT, but I also try to connect with certain influencers outside of it too! #otalk |
| Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt @GeorgiaVineOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ How often do OT's publish outside of OT-specific publications? Maybe OT's need to consider publishing more often in general 'medical' journals - but without losing focus on occupation! #OTalk |
 | Dr.Hadeel R. Bakhsh @HadeelBakhsh_OT This goes to my students who are soon going to be graduate :) |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT this is a passionate subject for me! (can you tell?!) I would love to get involved in research regarding the contribution of #occupationaltherapy in taking social prescribing forward #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RachaelD_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ In the TED world, I am trying. But, I can't do this alone! That was why my previous comment about OT's should step up as TEDx event curators/organizers! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @gscottOTS: @AdamJacksonOT this is a passionate subject for me! (can you tell?!) I would love to get involved in research regarding the contribution of #occupationaltherapy in taking social prescribing forward #otalk |

| Dr.Hadeel R. Bakhsh @HadeelBakhsh_OT RT @OTalk_: Join the conversation: Join the conversation: Social Prescribing and the future of Occupational Therapy. Tonight (Tuesday) at 8pm on Twitter using the hashtag #OTalk. Blog Post: https://t.co/fMmlJrvXoa https://t.co/jEDOjOFnED |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @AngieHodgson2: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AngieHodgson2 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I think this needs to be broader, especially in areas we feel we lack presence! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LauraCoffin_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I will also add... we not only need to understand the lay of the land in some arenas, but we should also immerse in then and then educate on what adjustments the greater OT profession needs to make. #otalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Confidence and coherence in our role. On explaining our role I think it's so important that we say what OT is, not what it is not. To be able to define our skills and role without referencing other professions for better client understanding. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @smileyfacehalo @margaretOT360 yes... we need to stop making excuses of, "Crap! this is getting too big." Instead, we should think, "How do we adapt if things are taking off, especially if we have NO minions to assist us?" #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @debbieduckie @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ 🙌🙌🙌 totally agree! i hate shortening to OT even in academic assignments to save word - it's always occupational therapist to me! #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ By having a really good definition on hand and explaining it to our clients. I've had so many clients that have seen an OT in the past and haven't realised or were never told what we can do. #otalk |
 | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Really interesting question @AdamJacksonOT and something I was going to pick up in the postponed Casson Memorial Lecture 🤔 #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ Definitely! Here is Aus there is recently a lot more government funding for OT services in the community. It's allowing the OT role to seen by a larger audience #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LauraCoffin_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I am on the pushy side. I think sometimes people think I am TOO pushy! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LauraCoffin_OT: |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @debbieduckie @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ totally agree, i cannot wait to be a qualified occupational therapist :) #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Sallysmustang @RachaelD_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ we have more and more as speakers (I think we have more than PT or SLP), but the curating space is where we lack presence. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JasminLaffy: @OTalk_ Definitely! Here is Aus there is recently a lot more government funding for OT services in the community. It's allowing the OT role to seen by a larger audience #otalk |
 | Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo RT @anyadei: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I think this depends on how well we market ourselves! #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT so interesting, would be keen to read once you're done! I completed a seminar at uni for public health module, was occupational therapy and social prescribing - so so interesting #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny We also need to reflect where as occupational therapists we can also influence policy. It is definitely possible using @scotgov #Neurological Framework as an example #OTalk |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I'd say the impact will depend on how we move along with it. It's a process that we could be guiding and helping to implement with our collective skills. There would be a real opportunity for all others to embrace and recognise our profession! #OTalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ This is happening in Aus right now. Our NDIS is government funding to allow people to do what they want. Most people receiving funding have an OT! #otalk |

| Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Hopefully will allow OT to become more understood and the importance recognised. As the healthcare system moves towards holistic well-being our point of view and language should become much more common and understood #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT thanks for being an excellent host this evening #Otalk really good discussion |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I am sure trying! So at least I should not be faulted if we fall short! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @EllieOTforKids: |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @ruthotlife @otalk I've seen GPs that did not know OTs worked in mental health at all. We need to market to other professionals not just the public #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllieOTforKids @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I think we don't need to master every social media platform. But we should master platforms that provide us the most efficient reach, as well as what are just right challenge of our capabilities. I don't do anything live because I don't want to make a zillion takes! #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ this is an ideal place for occupational therapy practice to be, it's inherent to out nature, our philosophy and we need to hit the ground running and put our selves forward for how we have the skills that can lead the way in public health #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT Thank you for hosting! #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Completely agree, and more than happy to support with some of that nudging! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllieOTforKids @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ But I also think we need to be careful about where our businesses maybe displayed. What if your business is on Yelp and you are oblivious to negative reviews? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @EllieOTforKids @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I am saying that because I see some nursing homes in my local area got some low ratings on Yelp. This can impact marketing on that aspect. #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch @ruthotlife @otalk That's a great idea! I used to work at a GP practice. Other professions (and lots of drug reps) would book lunches to talk and educate GPs. Never did I see an OT do it. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @therapy2optimum @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT then I think we should further divide ourselves according to various settings, just likes MD's do. #otalk |
| Gemma Michie @gemscottOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Thank you for hosting! been looking forward to #otalk for ages! |
| Katie Moffat (She/Her) @Katie_Moffat Thank you @AdamJacksonOT for leading such an engaging discussion for @OTalk_ ! I have so much to consider going forward. Well done! #OTalk https://t.co/N3n59i74OZ |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @therapy2optimum @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT haha- if you don't know me by now, I can be a radical person inside an introverted and personable OT... lol! #otalk https://t.co/vy5254wj0o |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @ruthotlife @otalk I was the receptionist so I put the bookings in. All professionals would contact us to book. GP did zero organising #otalk |
| JasminOT ⓥ @JasminLaffy @ruthotlife The receptionists are the key. Some people seem to forget they control the GPs calendar and appointments. We need more OTs to want to do the advocating role as well! #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Completely agree, our use of language is both an enabler and a barrier within and outside the profession #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Really good point! #OTalk |

 | sian burgess @mrsmcinburtott Well done to @AdamJacksonOT leading the #OTalk last night. A particularly stimulating conversation about OTs role in social prescribing which I’m catching up on this morning |
 | Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Gone from mental health OT to community OT to Social prescriber.. Perfect role to bring my skills together and do meaningful work. Very satisfying x. #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Assessments, outcome measures, activity analysis on top of evidence base that is already there... Perhaps RCOT develop subsection to upskill link workers but have access to evidence and tools. Reflective peer supervision #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Educating other professions to move away from doing to to working with. Increased confidence in the benefits and case study examples #OTalk |
| Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ This weirdly has been my time to shine in new role, supporting individuals over the phone with mental health and social needs... Thought I would lose my job but valued by managers and improved staff understanding. Invited to primary care future planning mtg. #OTalk |
