hello peeps! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ not so much... I don't think this has taken off in the USA at the moment. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 1 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@gscottOTS [REDACTED USER] @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
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!

@gscottOTS [REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @gscottOTS [REDACTED USER] @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
#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I agree, I feel OTs can steer it in a goal directed manner and a social prescriber might not. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @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_
[REDACTED USER] @BillWongOT @gscottOTS [REDACTED USER] 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

[REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @gscottOTS [REDACTED USER] 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
[REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @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
Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt
@anyadei [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Would this be due to the referral service? Perhaps be made easier if more OT's work in primary care? #Otalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
[REDACTED USER] @ChrissisOt @anyadei [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Maybe this could be built into reablement? #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] If it's my guess from my experiences as a pioneer of sorts in OT, venture to roads less traveled can be scary. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] 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_
[REDACTED USER] @anyadei [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I certainly look at leisure in my job #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] We do!! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @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
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] haha- I am in the wrong country then! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] Maybe you need to kidnap me and make me practice in the UK. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Question 4 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] 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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] @otalk Yes- many OT's like to speak, but not too many will consider organize/curate! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@debbieduckie [REDACTED USER] 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
[REDACTED USER] 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
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think this needs to be broader, especially in areas we feel we lack presence! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] 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
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
Really interesting question [REDACTED USER] and something I was going to pick up in the postponed Casson Memorial Lecture 🤔 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I am on the pushy side. I think sometimes people think I am TOO pushy! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I think this depends on how well we market ourselves! #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 [REDACTED USER] #Neurological Framework as an example #OTalk
Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt
[REDACTED USER] @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_
[REDACTED USER] thanks for being an excellent host this evening #Otalk really good discussion
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I am sure trying! So at least I should not be faulted if we fall short! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EllieOTforKids [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ I heard of karate and tai-kwon-do too. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EllieOTforKids [REDACTED USER] @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
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 [REDACTED USER] @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 [REDACTED USER] @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
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@therapy2optimum [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] then I think we should further divide ourselves according to various settings, just likes MD's do. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@therapy2optimum [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] 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
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
@mrsmcinburtott
Well done to [REDACTED USER] 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
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ #OTalk
Chantelle Martin 🟢ccupational Therapist @chaniedavies
[REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] @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
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @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
