Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
What policies do you think will have the biggest impact on the future of occupational therapy? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello folks! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Please be mindful of your professional code of conduct and respectful of others views during the chat #otalk I will try to remain neutral
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SamOTantha In US right now, whether Obamacare gets repealed is one in many OT's mind right now. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SamOTantha And in my setting, good o' medicare usually... and also private insurances in terms of reimbursement. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] working in mental health I have seen so many service users living on the poverty line due to delays and cuts for PIP #OTalk

@SamOTantha [REDACTED USER] In nursing home settings, I occasionally encounter folks who are homeless. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] Interestingly, #LabourManifesto have proposed to bring back #NHSbursaries do u think this would have a +ve impact on the profession #OTalk

Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] @OTalk_ Hahaha !! Trying to remain unbiased during this #OTalk might be hard !!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha I think this is a global problem... just how is it presented is different with each country. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha In my setting, I notice that companies can get cheap by constantly hiring new grads. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha The problem with hiring so many new grads is that they sometimes are not ready to fill in needed roles when needs arise. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha At least nothing comparing to US... lol! #otalk

@SamOTantha [REDACTED USER] We definitely need diversity in our field! Actually in the US, AOTA is on the verge of producing podcast on this. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
Regardless of the outcomes of the #GeneralElection how can we become more involved in politics & why do you think this is important?#OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] In nursing homes in US, this is a definitely must. Every day counts! #otalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
Anyone supporting their clients to register to vote and have their say? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SamOTantha Us in the US- since now I am in the RA, I am going to every lobby day in my state, as well as the national one. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
@yasminhelen_leo Agreed, but I wonder if manifestos and proposed policies may sway your Vote #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SamOTantha [REDACTED USER] I have a hand in the production either way. It will be next week I think. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT

can we be politically involved& maintain prof. I know it gets a little heated over on [REDACTED USER] (me) think I stay prof though #otalk https://t.co/6rEaMTsCMX
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha And also we must increase our individual online presence collectively. #otalk

#OTalk @OTalk_
same for me and many others. #OTalk https://t.co/T3NiAkeNAy
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] Increased funding in voluntary sector may enhance this. Also research & outcome measures to show the effectiveness of such services #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Really?? wow. that's interesting #otalk https://t.co/XASpbHozMQ
kags76 ❤️🧡💛🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶 @kagz76
#otalk truth be told if I had no dept or service I'd still work using the OT ethos.
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
Why is it important that as occupational therapists we support service users in exercising their right to vote? #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SamOTantha Because our votes are our voices politically. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] I think we need more OT in professional lead roles but I dont see why an OT couldn't campaign regarding policies or even run as an MP #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] And it goes out of the window too when you are a yes person to your bosses a lot. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] Working 17 days in a row is wearing out on me at the moment. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I guess that culture will have an impact on the way service users vote, would u feel comfortable talking politics with your SU #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha And I know I am in my own way- as a person who have been on TED stage twice and getting more connected w/ other influencers. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] You dont have to share who you are voting for its about providing SU with information about their options & understanding the process #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@FranSmartOT That is what we have in the US at the moment. #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha

#OTalk I had to ask for a hardship fund although grateful I still find the wording a bit isolating.
Jade @jadeb_OT
[REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha as long as you give the SU information on how to vote etc,you can still be neutral,gives them the chance to have their voice heard #Otalk

#otalk if possible I do try and challenge my older peeps to why they may be misogynistic/racist and homophobic.
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha [REDACTED USER] 20 days in a row (when Friday is over) while transitioning to increased responsibilities is also tough. #otalk

Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] 100% if you are feeling disempowered you may think why vote does it even matter... but we know that it does #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
[REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @SamOTantha In Hong Kong, some old residential buildings don't have that. ☹️ #otalk
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
[REDACTED USER] https://t.co/8vO0Qiduim I like this quiz, kind of long but aligns you with a party that most fits your values not the MP #OTalk
kags76 ❤️🧡💛🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶 @kagz76
#OTalk I think people need to feel a part of where they live and sadly poverty/age or illness can isolate you
Samantha Tavender @SamOTantha
How can we facilitate political discussions 2 support SU understanding how politics will impact their life & make informed choices #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I'm not sure our professional body intended to dictate how we vote. but I see your point. #otalk https://t.co/JteyFrXL7B
