#OTalk Q1.....
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@AdamFerry3 @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK I still struggle with exhibitions. I find them overwhelming and I usually get caught up with the first couple of exhibitors I come across. I think I might need a more strategic approach #OTalk
Kirsty Stanley @KEStanley
@OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK @AdamFerry3 Very interested in topic tonight #OTalk exhibitions enhancing knowledge and informing practice, collaboration with companies
Mike OT Student @A5COMICS
Q1 Warm up, If i visit an exhibition, i hope i get to see the latest developments and innovations in OT support, and possibly gather information that will help build my knowledge base #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@AdamFerry3 @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK I always feel like I run out of time and wish I had asked more questions #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK That sounds like a strategy that I could use #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@colinpgjones @Helen_OTUK @preston_jenny @AdamFerry3 I meant joining us on your holibobs! #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@colinpgjones @AdamFerry3 @OTalk_ @Helen_OTUK Far too disciplined @colinpgjones 😂😂 #OTalk

#OTalk i visited the 02 which was holding a spinal and neuro exhibition to get an idea of developments from an OT perspective, a lot of the newest developments where 10-15 years into the future and required further investment which was disappointing.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@AdamFerry3 As I work with people with complex neurological conditions I am always on the lookout for innovative, creative solutions. I don’t feel restricted within the NHS but do need to be clear and articulate the justification for bespoke requests #OTalk

#OTalk Q2
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@AdamFerry3 Definitely not alone @AdamFerry3. I also didn’t realise some of the flexible options e.g. renting equipment for people with life limiting conditions. I was able to take that back to commissioners #OTalk

RT @preston_jenny: @AdamFerry3 Definitely not alone @AdamFerry3. I also didn’t realise some of the flexible options e.g. renting equipment for people with life limiting conditions. I was able to take that back to commissioners #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@margaretOT360 I think that’s one of the greatest benefits @margaretOT360 We have also had some really informative demonstrations and discussions develop beyond the exhibition #OTalk
Mike OT Student @A5COMICS
@beckycooper___ #otalk The main areas were virtual reality support there was a OT perspective on that, neurological support apps for entertainment and communication, and exo suit support for stroke and cerebal palsy sufferers
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 It can also lead to some real benefits for the team e.g. we were invited to host a splinting demo and get free training for all our staff #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 I usually find the reps to be very honest and often they help decide when their product is not the most suitable #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 Definitely @beckycooper___ The Assistant Practitioner within my team knows more about equipment than I could ever dream #OTalk
Mike OT Student @A5COMICS
@beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 #otalk Working as a healthcare assistant alongside my studies, i have seen that the purchase of more more expensive equipment does not always meet the requirements of the client, and would be better to be more needs lead.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@AdamFerry3 @TheOTShow There’s also a real opportunity to discuss potential research collaborations too. We had an interesting discussion about this recently on #OTalk @LynneGoodacre @hooper_ek @NikkiDResearch
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 @TheOTShow I wonder if it is more about experience. I’m never worked in the private sector but have experience of commissioning and influencing policy which has given me the confidence #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@AdamFerry3 @TheOTShow I think it is about finding the right balance. Collaboration is key as has been highlighted previously tonight #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk final 5 minute warning! Last minute thoughts? Take home actions?
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@Scrumpess @beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 @TheOTShow Reflecting on tonight’s chat It sounds as if we might have a little bit more flexibility within the NHS/Social Care in Scotland #OTalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@OTalk_ Take home for me is to be much more strategic and maximise the opportunities at the next exhibition I attend #OTalk
Mike OT Student @A5COMICS
#otalk Looking forward to the OTShow in November as i move into my second year, build on my experiences and be excited for the future.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@Scrumpess @beckycooper___ @AdamFerry3 @TheOTShow Certainly my current role helps but I’ve always had plenty to say if I feel my patients are getting a raw deal #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
