 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome everyone! @OT_rach here tonight both hosting and on support. I will be tweeting everything from this account to make life easier. #OTalk Say hello if you're out there. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hello pal 😉#OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget the hashtag #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Most importantly don't forget the hashtag in all your tweets, if you miss it others will not see what you have said and it will not make the transcript. #OTalk https://t.co/etftCW7alM |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Let's remind our-selfs of the house rules #OTalk https://t.co/R6TOdaQcYL |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ How is everyone feeling tonight? Say hello even if your just planing on lurking #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @colinpgjones You don’t want to be on my naughty step! #otalk |
 | Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @OTalk_ @OT_rach Hello From Canada! #OTalk @Caot_bc |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lovely to have you! #otalk |
 | Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @OTalk_ I’m Lurking Tonight #OTalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ I already forgot once #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome back hope you had a nice time away. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1) How do you describe occupational therapy to your colleagues, service users and organisations? #OTalk |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello crew! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great CPD - to help you keep up to date. #otalk Welcome |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ You need to use the hashtag not the @. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 #otalk |
 | Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ #OTalk I always explain it as looking at everything you do from getting up in the morning and everything in-between. Explains we look at everything |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ I love that doing and being it's so true and so who we are #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I will go Chinese here, since I have to use it sometimes at work. 透过日常生活和有意义的活动去帮助病人过有意义的生活. Translation- using activities of daily living and meaningful activities to help patients/clients/service users enjoy meaningful lives. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Sounds like our favourite type of lurker #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Do you others use the word activity? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ I will also say this in Chinese. 职能治疗不是关于帮助别人找工作. Translation- Occupational Therapy is not a field that help people find jobs (since that's a common myth with our field). #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Why simple for patients? There engaging in the therapy? Is there understanding more than perhaps your colleague who is watching it? #otalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @OTalk_ I'm here, and trying to get some abstracts submitted for @theIIQM #QHR2019YVR while I drop in on #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Yes- I used the word "activity" in that sentence. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That’s one on the naughty step with forgetting the hashtag! Don’t forget to use the hashtag otherwise it won’t go in the transcript and people want to see what’s your saying. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Scrumpess: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @colinpgjones: |
 | MattOT @MattOT10 @OTalk_ I love this quote from the @theOThub, ‘Occupation is just a fancy word that we use to decribe the things that we want to do, should do and expected to do’. Then the therapy side is just how we can help that person engage with the occupation. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT I am a rebel today... typing in Chinese to answer some of our questions tonight. #otalk https://t.co/tggwniAFBH |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Is that not an adaption of the world Federation of occupational therapists quote? @thewfot #otalk https://t.co/XSbLTMxLHI |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @cathymc9781: |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ I think it's because I work with older people so they sometimes feel we help people back to work. I think how I discuss it with my patients does differ to my colleagues. But hoping there will be one definition used by both #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hello welcome #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @MattOT10: @OTalk_ I love this quote from the @theOThub, ‘Occupation is just a fancy word that we use to decribe the things that we want to do, should do and expected to do’. Then the therapy side is just how we can help that person engage with the occupation. #OTalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @LadySarahW1 I feel like many of us focus on the doing aspect of occupation when we define it (especially for clients/interprofessional colleagues) What about being, becoming, belonging? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: @OTalk_ I think it's because I work with older people so they sometimes feel we help people back to work. I think how I discuss it with my patients does differ to my colleagues. But hoping there will be one definition used by both #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 So true @Tori_Doll_ I think we need to explain our role. Many of my patients can be suffering from delirium so can be difficult for them to understand at times #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ Agreed- it's different to explain about what OT is to somebody who is a child or teenager vs. somebody who is a fellow medical professional, for example. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LYBOT: @LadySarahW1 I feel like many of us focus on the doing aspect of occupation when we define it (especially for clients/interprofessional colleagues) What about being, becoming, belonging? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ What do you think people understand by the word activities? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: So true @Tori_Doll_ I think we need to explain our role. Many of my patients can be suffering from delirium so can be difficult for them to understand at times #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ezzybezzy1989 @Tori_Doll_ yes- this is EMPHASIZED in the lab course that I am teaching now. Students are expected to learn to explain what OT is before they go out on placements. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @BillWongOT @colinpgjones But if we don’t explain, it fully not assuming the language will be Miss understood - is that not half the problem with the public and colleagues not understanding what we do? #otalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ When talking with policy makers (such as those at @BCLegislature), I ask what is something they do outside of work, then I go with that example and talk about how #OT is involved in helping ensure people do what is meaningful to them. @Caot_bc #OTalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 And I think they know but explaining it can be challenging #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 2) What is the difference between occupation and activity? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ Yes- That is why I am actually thinking of bringing my "How to Curate a TEDx event" abstract to COTEC next year. I want more OT's to understand the process AND take the risk to empower others to share our values. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LYBOT: @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ When talking with policy makers (such as those at @BCLegislature), I ask what is something they do outside of work, then I go with that example and talk about how #OT is involved in helping ensure people do what is meaningful to them. @Caot_bc #OTalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @OTalk_ @BillWongOT @colinpgjones Perhaps it'd be helpful if we just start using occupational language in our conversations and charting ... changing the conversation, in a helpful way, explaining when we need to, being open to questions from colleagues, etc. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ I think we should use one of our core OT skills- meet the audience where they are at! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ So that others avoid using the word occupation? And change it to a simpler word? #otalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @BillWongOT @ezzybezzy1989 @Tori_Doll_ They are expected to explain what #OT is, but are they also expected to explain what occupation is? #OTalk #OT365 |
 | Jo Probyn @probyn_jo @OTalk_ #OTalk_ I think there’s confusion outside of the profession about how complex activity is and that’s where some misunderstanding s happen. OTs are great at selecting activities collaboratively and engaging and sustaining involvement, so get distracted from therapy. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ @colinpgjones Personally, that is why I like the TEDx platform. For those of us who have aspirations to present on it, think about it as a 15 minute opportunity to advertise what you do as an OT practitioner. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ I love this - let’s be proud of our language and use it. #otalk (let’s not water it down for anyone) @OT_rach talking hear!! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ I agree #OTalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 RT @OTalk_: So that others avoid using the word occupation? And change it to a simpler word? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LYBOT @ezzybezzy1989 @Tori_Doll_ Yes- I believe that is included because they would be going out on placement for 1-week the following term. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Jo Probyn @probyn_jo @Tori_Doll_ @OTalk_ Agree that 25 hours in forensics is a challenge for OT #OTalk_ |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @KIRSTY_OT @OTalk_ Thanks! I'm having trouble accessing the image - are you able to add an alternative text version that can be accessed by folks using screen readers/access tech please? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ There was no _ after the hashtag unlike the @ it’s #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @Tori_Doll_ @OTalk_ But I also think we got to think from another perspective- what if some languages don't have a precise word for occupation? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don't forget that hashtag - you don't want to be on the naughty step #OTalk https://t.co/yHsm4KSiAr |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ Activity is something you do something that make you who you are. An occupation is shaped by the desires and interests of that person #OTalk |
 | #HelloMyNameIs Laura @laurareidOT @OTalk_ I would not be able to explain OT using any kind of jargon to the students I work with in a special needs school it would be unfair to try, It has to be appropriate to their level of understanding and the situation #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT Three cheers for #OT pride! This was a big part of our conversation @Caot_bc practice network on "occupation" in occupational therapy with @MKatieBunting from @UBCOSOT #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Not quite got the hashtag right there #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RachaelD_OT @OTalk_ One problem for me already as a Chinese speaker- we have 3 different translations for "occupational therapy". #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag @DrWMB your tweets are so worth people reading. I wouldn’t want people to miss them #otalk |
| Jo Probyn @probyn_jo @OTalk_ Glad it’s not just me who’s struggling with #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @laurareidOT: @OTalk_ I would not be able to explain OT using any kind of jargon to the students I work with in a special needs school it would be unfair to try, It has to be appropriate to their level of understanding and the situation #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @laurareidOT Is the word occupation jargon? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ciderwithsophie: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @LYBOT: Three cheers for #OT pride! This was a big part of our conversation @Caot_bc practice network on "occupation" in occupational therapy with @MKatieBunting from @UBCOSOT #OTalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @Scrumpess @LadySarahW1 Some of my @ubcMedCHES work is in #Palliative and #EndOfLife settings, and for sure being/becoming/belonging focussed occupations become even more important to folks at that point (and loved ones). But I agree we don't want to assume doing occupations don't matter here. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi Emma, so that people can see what you’re writing you need to include the hashtag in all your tweets. #otalk https://t.co/cyf9mZ9VYL |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Erin_newOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ What’s the dictionary definition? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ @laurareidOT I don't think that is a jargon. BUT... I know I have to use a round about way to explain what it is in Chinese. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Just to let you know we are half way though the chat. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 3) Have you come across a lack of understanding of what occupational therapy is? If so please give examples? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @RachaelD_OT @OTalk_ Yes- I have to be on my toes on knowing how to explain what OT is in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English all the time. (I actually told my students this.) #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @emke: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ I wonder if part of the reason occupational therapy is so misunderstood, it’s because we as a profession can’t agree on the language to use?? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LYBOT: @Scrumpess @LadySarahW1 Some of my @ubcMedCHES work is in #Palliative and #EndOfLife settings, and for sure being/becoming/belonging focussed occupations become even more important to folks at that point (and loved ones). But I agree we don't want to assume doing occupations don't matter here. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ It’s fast paced tonight don’t worry just go with the flow but do you remember that #. #Otalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ @BillWongOT Perhaps also would be helpful to start using occupational language with kids - they need to start hearing the words if we want them to learn the words/concepts. Of course, with appropriate explanations/framing. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting other’s thoughts? #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 I think this could be true. We can't agree on the best terminology so it gets changed and adapted and then different trusts explain it differently. There needs to be a general definition and everyone everywhere uses that. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Lost count of how many people are on my naughty step for forgetting to use the hashtag! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Common ones will be if I have Uber drivers picking me up to go to airport (from where I live to LAX). Because occupational therapy is not popular in China yet, so I have to explain to these drivers about what I do for a living in detail. #otalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @OTalk_ @laurareidOT Also can mean 'occupation' as in the presence of an occupying force (such as the Nazi's occupation of the Netherlands in WWII) #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ At least you tried with the hashtag - 🤣🤣 #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @otsamantha @LYBOT @OTalk_ @colinpgjones and as somebody who is multilingual, we need to be prepared to explain in multiple ways for each language we are fluent in. #otalk |
 | Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #otalk some interpret occupation as being occupied and busy. I think meaningful occupation helps a lot in explanation-has meaning and importance to the person. Therapy can vibe through assessment, grading, use of self, engagement, motivation |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ Yes agreed I always get told. Oh your the person that will help me back to work after an injury. Well actually we cover everything form paediatric to older people and everything in-between including learning disabilities and mental health #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @mooartdotcom: |
| #HelloMyNameIs Laura @laurareidOT @OTalk_ To students with additional needs that struggle with communication I would say yes as it holds no meaning, but a symbol/makaton sign can be used for playing, toileting, brushing teeth etc to explain what I can help with, I haven’t found that for occupations as a whole #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @LYBOT: @colinpgjones @OTalk_ @BillWongOT Perhaps also would be helpful to start using occupational language with kids - they need to start hearing the words if we want them to learn the words/concepts. Of course, with appropriate explanations/framing. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Absolutely, I like to say think of the word occupation we see is everything we do for the minute we get up in the morning to the minute we go to bed at night. #otalk ( The things we need to and want to do) |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LYBOT @colinpgjones @OTalk_ I think we need to encourage kids to bring us to their show and tell days! Also, we should make bigger presence in career fairs. #otalk https://t.co/OH9bdLLxgs |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @_rachelOT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ezzybezzy1989: @OTalk_ Yes agreed I always get told. Oh your the person that will help me back to work after an injury. Well actually we cover everything form paediatric to older people and everything in-between including learning disabilities and mental health #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @Erin_newOT: @OTalk_ Quick Google: most dictionary sites have 1: job or profession. 2: |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ People's perceptions are very direct @_rachelOT I work predominantly in physical but am very aware of the other areas that are important and think it's about educating people of the areas #OTalk |
| #HelloMyNameIs Laura @laurareidOT @OTalk_ ‘Oh like a physiotherapist’ #OTalk |
 | Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo @ezzybezzy1989 Hi #OTalk am lurking... Completely fascinated with this point.. "we can't agree on the language to use".... This can be massively unpicked when looking at complexity and our focus: the individual..... |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ To others talk about self-care productivity and measure, does anyone have any other domains that could be added to this? #otalk https://t.co/aYDivvCbW7 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @RachaelD_OT: |
| Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #otalk hence the dark side of occupation- important to the person but don’t match with mainstream beliefs and values, or seen to be damaging |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @LYBOT @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT So the problem is our title? do we need to change it? #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @smileyfacehalo I think there should just be a general definition which everyone understand however it does need to be individually tailored #OTalk |
| Jo Probyn @probyn_jo @BillWongOT @OTalk_ What do you say @BillWongOT #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ LOL I was going to say I had to read that tweet twice! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 4) What resources have you used to explain Occupational Therapy better to your patients, colleagues and organisations? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @otsamantha @LYBOT @OTalk_ @colinpgjones Here is one thing I am thinking for #wfot22 in Paris. Maybe it will be cool to compile a video on what occupational therapy is in each language + a brief description of what we do. #otalk |
| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @ForensicDetail I Think We Are All Getting Bogged Down...😕...#OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Don’t forget that hashtag #OTalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @OTalk_ @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT That's a tricky one! I've heard some say we should have been called functional therapists. But, I think occupation means so much more than function or activity... The doing, being, becoming, belonging approach is so meaningful. #OTalk |
| #HelloMyNameIs Laura @laurareidOT RT @Scrumpess: |
| Sam Pywell @smileyfacehalo @OTalk_ @LYBOT @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT No. We just need to be clear occupation holds ambiguity within the term and can be open to interpretation.... And be aware how to talk with people about this. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @probyn_jo @OTalk_ well- I have to first explain that OT is in allied health, just like PT and SLP. And then I will go into what OT is in definition + a snapshot of my day. #otalk |
 | ✨ Lynne Bowers 💙 💚 @LynneBowers2 @WeAHPs @PeteBudge @theRCOT Liking the individualised inference - values, beliefs, preferences, cognition are so important |
 | Betsey Walker @walker_betsey @OTalk_ Yes! I have, all the common ones in secure settings, patients are bored, need more to do, not meeting 25 hours, but focusing more on what we are doing and how it supports bigger picture services goals is definitely helping #OTalk |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @BillWongOT @otsamantha @OTalk_ @colinpgjones What a beautiful idea! Make sure #ASL/#LSQ and other sign languages are included too, and that we use integrated audio description. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto @colinpgjones @OTalk_ The first part is always easy because I can get people excited. The second part is usually what scares people away- because to pull even a small event off requires a lot of sacrifices. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ But can everyone, other professions seem to struggle to engage people in doing? Is it harder than it looks? Do we make it look easy? #otalk is it about pitching it at the right level? |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @DrWMB @OTalk_ @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT agreed. I have many nursing friends, for example, who feel very misunderstood. Being misunderstood is an #UnexpectedOpportunity to enable discovery and learning #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @LYBOT @otsamantha @OTalk_ @colinpgjones Maybe this is homework for WFOT delegates for each country to start collaborating! #otalk |
| Betsey Walker @walker_betsey @OTalk_ For example, OT will work on developing the skills that will help this person engage meaningfully in risk reduction work, will provide conditions to test out and rehearse new coping strategies etc, #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @BecksBlain: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @emke: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And as @BillWongOT said how do the words occupational therapist translate into other languages? Something to think about? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DrWMB: |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ Ive been involved in a support worker study day to give them a better understanding of different areas we as occupational therapists work. And agree with @ciderwithsophie we shouldn't forget #OTweek2019 #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @ais_d: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ A few of you have, so just another reminded Don't forget that hashtag - if you don't use it, your tweet will not be on the transcript and people will not see what your saying #OTalk https://t.co/d2JVBkWnP9 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @smileyfacehalo: @OTalk_ @LYBOT @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT No. We just need to be clear occupation holds ambiguity within the term and can be open to interpretation.... And be aware how to talk with people about this. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ I like it ✊🏽✊🏽 #otalk |
| Jo Probyn @probyn_jo @Tori_Doll_ @OTalk_ Agree with this, that’s why I think models are really useful so we have a shared language and it’s the same across a clinical area. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And as I also shared in some other #otalk discussions- TEDx event curators are people who could be our amplifiers! However, now we need people to break open the space after I hacked it! |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Again don’t forget that hashtag #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @ciderwithsophie: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Yes but I will teaching this enough, in this country currently? #otalk |
| Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @OTalk_ #otalk writing service improvement / business plan on #otstudent placement that clearly defines what Occupational Therapy is and why the project is within the remit.... rather than activity coordinator, peer support worker, recovery college |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ If I have time, I will show my first TEDx talk. #otalk https://t.co/qJLcNtoAzB |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 I think they can struggle but it's taking those tools we've learnt and fixing the problem we are faced with. We need to be better at sharing how best to engage other professionals. #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @otsamantha @LYBOT @OTalk_ @colinpgjones you can count on me submitting my share! #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ 🙈🙉 because you need a degree to do that? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Fantastic way of looking at it. #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 Wow.... We do a lot more than that. #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @ezzybezzy1989 I think ALL OT's should know this! https://t.co/fEGkwhFSrw If people want multimedia, there is always TEDx talks! #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @otsamantha: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @DrWMB: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 5) What more could be done to ensure that organisations understand the role of occupational therapists? #OTalk |
| Betsey Walker @walker_betsey @emke @OTalk_ You need to copywrite that! It’s brilliant! #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is an interesting idea 💡, I like it #OTalk also does shortening occupational therapy and occupational therapist to OT, increase the lack of understanding, I recall @JuliaScottRCOT encouraging us not to use the Acreman! |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @probyn_jo @otalk It's a lovely idea... we just need somebody who is very good at organizing community events. #otalk |
 | Sarah L Howard @SarahLHoward2 @OTalk_ Develop strategic OT leaders to influence transformation across all aspects of health and social care #OTalk |
 | Lee Ann Hoffman @LeeAnnHoffman2 RT @otsamantha: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That # again #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And another thing I think of- I have seen some TEDx talks by future OT's! By future- I mean some are in high school right now who have ambitions to be one of us. It will be great if some of us drop a line to keep their enthusiasm going! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @chloe_kitto: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ And where can I find some of your findings Wendy? @DrWMB #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ Explaining what we do and why. #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Yes- and I also encourage students who are potentially multilingual to start practice explaining what occupation and occupational therapy is in their native languages. If they need help, ask their parents/grandparents. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Only five mins left any final thoughts? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DrWMB: |

| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @jowilliamsOT @smileyfacehalo @OTalk_ @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT I've been using that one for a long time (particularly the 'occupy our time' part). But lately I've question that one - because it is only about 'doing' #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Now there’s a challenge!! #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 RT @OTalk_: Now there’s a challenge!! #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrWMB @otannab @OTalk_ That was why I was a bit surprised that my "How to Curate a TEDx event" proposal got only accepted for Australian conference. The reviewers don't know what they actually rejected! #otalk |

| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @OTalk_ I Personally Think Most Organisations Where OTs Are, The Role Is Understood Otherwise Positions Would Be cut Regularly...I Personally Feel We Need To Get Our Heads Down And Continue Doing What We Do Best...Making A Difference To People’s Lives Is What Will Get Us Noticed #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting point and I think I agree with you there! #otalk |
| Erica Davis @ezzybezzy1989 @OTalk_ Ensuring that management understand what we do. #OTalk |
| Betsey Walker @walker_betsey @OTalk_ Very true, using the #VdTMoCA levels has helped our service identify who will be more able to engage in the activity offered with less support and OT focus on the lower levels #OTalk |
| Abi Edwards 💙 @AbiEdwards7 @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @OTalk_ @laurareidOT Thinking about and learning about occupation through the lens of occupation and occupational science? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Love is #OTalk using the occupation of occupational therapy to explain occupational therapy. #Genius |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Love a good resource thank you Sam! #otalk |
| Betsey Walker @walker_betsey @BecksBlain @OTalk_ I agree, although it brought many challenges with it being ward based has made a big difference for us #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @Tori_Doll_ Sorry tweeting fast, meant to read is this model being taught, enough currently in this country. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #OTalk Research Tuesday 6th August at 8pm https://t.co/OmME3uOBOE |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wow where did the time go! There is still loads I haven’t read, Carry on chatting, and I will put the transcript on probably Thursday evening. #otalk |
| Betsey Walker @walker_betsey @BecksBlain @OTalk_ Able to be much more responsive and the OTs find they are sort out much more to be involved in joint care planning #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is @OT_rach signing off for now so she can eat her tea as it’s gone a bit cold. #otalk https://t.co/PqkZHeUWB1 |
| Dr. Laura Yvonne Bulk @LYBOT @OTLaurenC @OTalk_ @DrWMB @RachaelD_OT @laurareidOT Absolutely! I've oft been confused for someone from "OHS" Occupational health and safety Perhaps they should change their name ;) #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Next weeks #OTalk with @chloe_kitto |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This looks great thank you Sam! (Food really getting cold now) #OTalk (putting phone down) |
 | Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken Missed #otalk so catching up now...I like these explanations of occupation and activity👇 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Last tweet - enjoyed tonight’s chat, why not write a little reflection on how it has impacted on your practice then you can use it as a piece of evidence of continuing professional development! #OTalk https://t.co/Dnl21vIAi2 |

 | The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub RT @MattOT10: @OTalk_ I love this quote from the @theOThub, ‘Occupation is just a fancy word that we use to decribe the things that we want to do, should do and expected to do’. Then the therapy side is just how we can help that person engage with the occupation. #OTalk |

 | Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @BillWongOT @Tori_Doll_ @OTalk_ Being able to translate occupational therapy concepts into the language of people we work with is essential to communicate effectively. #OTalk |
| Dr Carolynne White OT @Carolynne_OT @OTalk_ Just catching up on a fantastic #OTalk. Researching occupation with people with health conditions helped me untangle occupation and activity and gave me insights into occupation beyond self-care, productivity and leisure. https://t.co/q6UBotgk6k |

| Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT @OT_rach @OTalk_ That’s A Fair Analysis...I Guess I Am Just Slightly Uncomfortable With Always Trying To Seek Recognition From Others By Explaining The Intricacies Of Occupational Therapy Rather Than Focusing My Energy On Cutting The Red Tape By “Doing” & “Being” What I Was Trained To Do. #OTalk |
| Lee Ann Hoffman @LeeAnnHoffman2 @MOHOspark @DrWMB @AnnaPettican @OTalk_ Loved reading this. So powerful to know your worth and be able to explain our Vocation #OTPower !! In my student days - had a Dr. referring pts to the “fun and entertainment therapist” ! Tsk Tsk. #OT365 #FUNdemental #OccupationalPerformance #OccupationalTherapy #OTalk late share |
 | Kelly S (She/Her) @KellyOT RT @OTalk_: Question 3) Have you come across a lack of understanding of what occupational therapy is? If so please give examples? #OTalk |
 | Merrolee Penman @merrolee But sometimes there isn’t a direct or literal translation? |
 | Libby Lamb @LibbyLambOT RT @BillWongOT: @OTalk_ I will also say this in Chinese. 职能治疗不是关于帮助别人找工作. Translation- Occupational Therapy is not a field that help people find jobs (since that's a common myth with our field). #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ @HandTherapyHG Hi Helen, there was a lot of discussion during last night‘s chat about not keeping it simple being proud and using our words. Perhaps if we watered-down How exclamations of occupational therapy is that’s how it gets misunderstood? #otalk thoughts? |
