 | JasminOT โฅ @JasminLaffy Very early good morning from me. Excited for this #otalk |
| Deb Duck @debbieduckie @OTalk_ #OTalk present. |
| Opportune-OT @Opportune_OT @RachaelD_OT Evening Rachael #OTalk ๐ |
| 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 |
 | Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Hey #OTalk, long time no speak! Looking forward to tonight's chat! |
 | Gemma Scott @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 |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Ooo good question. If an OT works in a GP practice they could instigate social prescribing theirselves or via a social prescriber depending of staffing #OTalk |
 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #otalk |
 | Anya de Iongh @anyadei @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Hello! Looking forward to this #OTalk! ๐ |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Social prescribing - enabling people to participate in activities outside of their home setting! We think it has always been the heart of OT to support social prescribing initiatives #Otalk |

| 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 |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope @margaretOT360 It IS OT :D #Otalk |
| Anya de Iongh @anyadei @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I'm a first year OT MSc student, so not really come across it in my OT studies yet, but worked within a social prescribing service before starting my MSc, so interested to learn the OT angle on it this evening! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: Ooo good question. If an OT works in a GP practice they could instigate social prescribing theirselves or via a social prescriber depending of staffing #OTalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch Social Prescribing acts as an adjunct to occupational therapy. Often community teams need to focus on essential rehab needs (the basics, eating, washing, toileting, accessing the community etc), we don't always have capacity to focus on the social needs/ leisure activities #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! |
 | Katie Moffat @Katie_Moffat @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Thinking innovatively to empower the individual to make their own choices of possible solutions #OTalk |

| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @JasminLaffy Hi Jasmine, is social prescribing a thing in Australia? Would be interested to know. #OTalk |

| Gemma Scott @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 |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ As OTs we use formulation and occupational analysis to assess and guide a person towards occupational participation. I havenโt seen like workers doing that. Has anyone else? #otalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @BillWongOT @gscottOTS @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Good point Bill! Chances are social prescribing is happening at all at the moment! #OTalk |
 | ๐บ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธโ๐Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Maintaining wellbeing through leisure activities through creativity and the concept of โflowโ #OTalk |
| Anya de Iongh @anyadei @margaretOT360 We used to use the phrase "social prescribing is everybody's responsibility, and some people's job!" in my old job (before OT...), so everyone can do a bit within their roles? Esp given OT skills!? #OTalk |
| Chrissi Peacock NQOT @ChrissisOt Forgot to ad #OTalk |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @debbieduckie @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I forgot! Sorry ๐ฌ #otalk |
| Rachael (she/her) ๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ @RachaelD_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ My understanding is that social prescribing facilitates participation in a broad range of activities... Facilitating participation in tasks is at the heart of our profession. With that in mind, there is definitely a link... #OTalk |
 | Catherine McNulty (pronouns she/her) @cathymc9781 @SalfordSPx @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT @House_OT #OTalk Hello Adam I am looking forward to the discussions tonight ... |
| 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 โฅ @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 |

 | Cassandra @Cass_OT__ RT @SPOTeurope: Social prescribing - enabling people to participate in activities outside of their home setting! We think it has always been the heart of OT to support social prescribing initiatives #Otalk |
 | Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Social prescribing recognises the health and well being benefits of recreational activities. This is what we do as OTs but we look at all occupational activities #otalk |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope Agreed! #Otalk |
 | Laura @LauraCoffin_OT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Social prescribing is about connecting people and communities. I think that as OTs we also understand the importance of belonging to health and wellbeing #OTalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @kayleighwainOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ In most cases, in the absence of an OT! My understanding is that most social prescribing is not done by OTs. Good that are principles are being used by others, helps spread the message about meaningful occupation & the impact this can have on wellbeing. #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 |
 | Salford Social Prescribing Hub @SalfordSPx @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @House_OT #OTalk |
| Cassandra @Cass_OT__ Isnโt this a wonderful answer! #otalk |
| Deb Duck @debbieduckie @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #OTalk the use of non medical/pharmacological interventions to meet identified goals AND is meaningful |
| JasminOT โฅ @JasminLaffy @RebeccaCrouch Under or NDIS system people can get government funding for support workers to take them out to community events. /#otalk |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ This is interesting. So do you think OT could hand over leisure activities to social prescribers? #otalk |
| Deb Duck @debbieduckie @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Oh me too. At least once a week. #otalk |
| Anya de Iongh @anyadei @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I've not come across them doing that either... a different set of skills (I think @Pers_Care might have a framework for it!), but important to highlight the unique approach of OT in this context! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @sarah_bodell: @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ This is interesting. So do you think OT could hand over leisure activities to social prescribers? #otalk |
| #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 |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @anyadei @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @Pers_Care Agreed! #otalk |
| Adam Jackson @AdamJacksonOT Question 2 #OTalk @OTalk_ https://t.co/DjcO6Hbaep |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Yes I think we have always done this, like reflection and now it has a name #OTalk |
| Salford Social Prescribing Hub @SalfordSPx @RebeccaCrouch @kayleighwainOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Very much the case - They come with all labels in their role names ; however in they do a good job of promoting those core values we hold very important as OT's. #OTalk |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @OTalk_ @AdamJacksonOT The social prescribers I have worked with are very goal oriented. What is often new to them are the concepts around occupational performance and analysis #otalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Well...I question why there is a need for social prescribers when we already have OTs that do this anyway ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ #otalk |
| JasminOT โฅ @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 |
| Deb Duck @debbieduckie RT @margaretOT360: Yes I think we have always done this, like reflection and now it has a name #OTalk |
| Deb Duck @debbieduckie @margaretOT360 #OTalk is it rebranding, redefining?? |
| 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 |
| Anya de Iongh @anyadei @sarah_bodell @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ From experience in SP service (still a student OT, so can't speak as OT yet!), I think people w/ more complex needs could really benefit from OT support for leisure... if people w/ less complex needs could access leisure via LW, that could free up OT time for complexity? #OTalk |
 | OT Sophie @OTSophie @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ We used to have "community connectors" we could refer in to, essentially these were support workers that seemed to function as social prescribers. #OTalk |
| Salford Social Prescribing Hub @SalfordSPx @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Working within the Social Prescribing hub, we have come across many services that aim to use social prescribing as a means of improving health and wellbeing for the public. Examples of this are Salford CVS, Bury VFCA, The North West Ambulance service and many other cont.. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @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 |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Yes in the same way as we would to an OTA or activity co-ordiator if we had one #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 |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Do you feel they are the same thing? If so, would a purchaser not want the cheapest option? #otalk |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @OTalk_ @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT Also social prescribers may be working too a narrow offering (whatever the CCG has on offer). An occupational therapist, if resources allow, could be more creative & work on client needs as opposed to a list of restrictive activities. Many may not be relevant. #OTalk |
| ๐บ๐ฆ๐ณ๏ธโ๐Georgia Vine @GeorgiaVineOT @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ We did a creativity module at university including a circus and drama workshop. Then I also took part in creative writing workshop as part of the module. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2 #otalk |
| Gemma Scott @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. |
| OT Sophie @OTSophie @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I think it would be useful to analyse somehow the difference between prescriber non Ot and OT. Us the value and outcome the same but costs less....? #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 I supervise a number of #OTs who work in GP practices and they all engage in social prescribing directly as indirectly #OTalk |
 | OfficialCAHPR @OfficialCAHPR And #OTalk is also happening right now... |
| Salford Social Prescribing Hub @SalfordSPx @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Our aim within the hub has also been to have critical conversations- and plan to host a conference beyond issues with COVID-19 and incorporate understanding of social prescribing within education. #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @anyadei @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Would we not use OTAs for this? #otalk |
| 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 |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Mostly experienced this in community mental health settings with individuals with anxiety and depression #otalk |
| Anya de Iongh @anyadei @SusanGriffiths5 @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ from experience, many people who benefit from link workers (social prescribers) might not have enough 'needs' to qualify for OT services? Just a feeling from previous role though... #OTalk |
 | Angie Hodgson (pronouns: she / her) ๐ @AngieHodgson2 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #OTalk supporting individuals to identify and utilise local groups and leisure opportunities to improve their wellbeing and social connectedness. I would say it's a part of what OTs do already! |
| Student Platform OT @SPOTeurope We love this response! #otalk |

| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ I agree, and also think complexity is key. I think our grounding in occupational science, occupational analysis and occupational performance is what enables us to work with people with complex needs. That why we cost more #teamwork #otalk |
 | RuthC @ruthotlife @SPOTeurope @OTalk_ #otalk @adamjacksonot OT has been doing social prescribing for years. ive observed the way that many volunteers and unqualified staff are being pulled in to take on roles that qualified staff were previously doing |

| 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 |

| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Itโs up to #OT to demonstrate the difference and value added outcomes that can be measured, and they can add as a dual qualified registered health professional. #otalk |

| Anya de Iongh @anyadei @SusanGriffiths5 @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Hmm good point! You've got to get to OT service to get support from OTA... It sounds like we've made a really complex system with lots of duplicity to navigate + it probably feels like that for lots of patients, if we can't sum up the differences in a tweet! Opps! ๐ค๐ง #OTalk |
| Susan Griffiths @SusanGriffiths5 @sarah_bodell @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ No, I donโt think they are the same thing. Social prescribing is just one of many tools we use depending on clientsโ needs & goals following an OT ax. It would be good for OTs to be leading these services and providing training and supervision for social prescribers #OTalk |

| Katie Moffat @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 |
| Sarah Bodell ๐ป @sarah_bodell @ChrissisOt @anyadei @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Iโd love to see teams of OTs and link workers in primary care. Bit like OTs and technicians in social care maybe? #teamwork #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 |

| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch There is a fantastic OT at Homerton Hospital who taught we everything I know about social prescribing. But I can't remember her twitter handle.

| 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 |

We should be a profession that is advertised as much as nursing and other professionals as career choices and clinicians of the NHS and beyond! #Otalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 RT @debbieduckie: @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ OTalk confidence in our role, abilities and knowledge. Putting ourselves forward onto committees, working with RCOT, AHP groups, all parliamentary working groups. Stand up and testify! #otalk |
| Salford Social Prescribing Hub @SalfordSPx @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ An interesting need further discussing this for those interested. https://t.co/2NjiJDdlRz #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 |

| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 RT @RachaelD_OT: @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ We need a stronger presence and to challenge the pre-conceived ideas that many have about OT. We are often seen as discharge facilitators, people that run groups or equipment givers. But, we are so much more! But if thatโs what we are thought to be, itโs hard to be heard #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 RT @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 |
| RuthC @ruthotlife @otalk I used to refer an escort patients to activities also. Sadly the focus has completely shifted to discharge planning. Wards will not pay for the taxi or staff to support patients to get there & communities do not have enough support workers |

| Salford Social Prescribing Hub @SalfordSPx @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ That is certainly the feelings some OT's have established- given that we know the stem of this issue, what could we do as a profession to improve this whilst also making a positive contribution to those external agencies? #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 We are always trying, challenging place to get into... #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 |

| 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 โฅ @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 |
| Angie Hodgson (pronouns: she / her) ๐ @AngieHodgson2 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #OTalk It would be nice to see it as an opportunity to have additional resources to work with & spread the word about what OT does and the value we add.

| 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 |

| JasminOT โฅ @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 |
| Rebecca, Occupational Therapist @RebeccaCrouch @therapy2optimum @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT Definitely no to dividing roles. I'm a rotational OT. My plan is to become an expert generalist with skills across physical & mental health. #OTalk #IloveOT |
| RuthC @ruthotlife #otalk maybe that's the answer Jasmine we need to get to know the receptionists and be proactive va in booking ourselves into the GP surgery CPD |
| JasminOT โฅ @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 |
 | Health Policy Bot @HealthPolicyBot RT @RebeccaCrouch: It will raise awareness of our core principles (access to & participation in balanced meaningful activities can lead to improved wellbeing & health outcomes) as > people are referred to SP services. Hopefully, we will also see more OTs in primary care & involved in policy #OTalk |

 | LecturerMish๐ท๐ฌ๐ง๐ณ๏ธโ๐๐ช๐บ๐ ๐บ She/Her/Hers @LecturerMish RT @SusanGriffiths5: @therapy2optimum @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT I donโt think we defy description. I think we are guilty of complicating what we do by describing our individual roles in our current OT jobs when maybe we should be describing the core OT of what we do and what connects ALL OT roles #OTalk |
 | Charlie Winward ๐ท @Charlie_ConsAHP @JaneMcKOT7 @HannahwOT |
 | Marcus Dean @MarcusD88167580 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ Sorry late Social prescribing is about identifying people's needs/interests and matching them with/creating available opportunities for people to carry out meaningful occupations that will have a long lasting impact on wellbeing. We should be leading this as it is OT. #OTalk |

| Gemma Scott @gemscottOT @therapy2optimum @SusanGriffiths5 @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT I think being dual trained and not defined as physical or mental health is a strength of OT, I think dividing roles would bring more confusion ๐คฏ I agree with comments below regarding define the OT role, not in relation to specific job roles but agree this is challenging #otalk |
 | Venthan Mailoo @VenthanMailoo RT @EllieOTforKids: @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ We need to become better at marketing our skills and advocating for OT. I think thatโs one of the biggest challenges in our profession #OTalk |
| Adam Jackson @AdamJacksonOT RT @AngieHodgson2: @AdamJacksonOT @OTalk_ #OTalk It would be nice to see it as an opportunity to have additional resources to work with & spread the word about what OT does and the value we add. Ultimately we should be aiming to improve the lives of our patients / clients and any help towards that will hopefully be good |
| Adam Jackson @AdamJacksonOT RT @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 |
