 | LAC Andy Graham @andyg_PLP Hi from rainy Newcastle #otalk |
 | Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT haven’t really joined in with #otalk for a few weeks but i’m here and ready for some research chat! 🤗 |
 | Alison McCracken @OTMcCracken @OTalk_ Hi #OTalk crew |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @POPPED_Project: on now - opportunity to contribute to @theRCOT R&D review #otalk https://t.co/ttWeevuymM |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Ok so here's question 1. What are the important ingredients in creating and sustaining a vibrant occupational therapy research culture? #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @DrGillianWard: Welcome to tonight's #OTalk I'm delighted to be hosting this evening's chat on “Creating a vibrant occupational therapy… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome back @kerri_schOT great week to join in #OTalk research |
 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @andy83g I am willing to share some sunshine from Los Angeles here... lol! #otalk |
| leisle Ezekiel @lezeki informality as many people find research daunting #Otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrGillianWard It has to start from each of us. If we ourselves are not excited, how can we get others excited about research? #otalk |
| Dr Stephanie Tempest @SetG75 Oooooh straight in with a big question! 😆 1) demystify what “doing research” can look like 2) taking as many people with you as possible 3) everyone doing their own manageable bit (and that will look different for each of us) and 4) sharing experiences and outcomes #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Here is Q 1 folks #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard So how do we create informality?#Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @DrGillianWard in the practice setting? #otalk |
 | Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer We need to make #research part of our working culture and not an extra thing to do. We owe it to patients/service users and the profession #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrGillianWard Another one if it's work environment- a supervisor and/or management that supports value of EBP. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @DrGillianWard I think we need to be enthusiastic, willing to learn and share our opinions #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @SetG75: Oooooh straight in with a big question! 😆 1) demystify what “doing research” can look like 2) taking as many people with you as… |

| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Totally agree! #Otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard RT @kerri_schOT: @DrGillianWard I think we need to be enthusiastic, willing to learn and share our opinions #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @preston_jenny good news was I didn't had fever. But still, now my work is probably using me as an example of them strongly against anyone going to India for a while. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Oh great question @POPPED_Project do you think it’s different in say an academic setting #OTalk good one to think about |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 and how do we make research less daunting @lezeki ? #OTalk |
| leisle Ezekiel @lezeki a safe space to talk about ideas is key #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @kerri_schOT: @DrGillianWard I think we need to be enthusiastic, willing to learn and share our opinions #otalk |
 | Carolina Cordero 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @OTalk_ Hello! 😀 #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard In all settings where OT researchers work #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @DrGillianWard and of course there is strength in numbers with this. The more the merrier with this kind of thing. #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @DrGillianWard we need to have the desire to want to improve/build on our practice. being passionate about evidence based practice and having people you work with supporting this is essential #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @lezeki: a safe space to talk about ideas is key #Otalk https://t.co/aK2OClOetn |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Can’t believe I’ve just done it again #OTalk. Concentrate and focus 😂😂 |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @BillWongOT @DrGillianWard absolutely, we need to be a team 👍🏼👍🏼 #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @kerri_schOT @DrGillianWard I think if we each divide and conquer on some fronts, this will be improved in no time! #otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @OTalk_ key ingredients are likely the same - but the cultures and 'research literacy' are different #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ For those just joining us here Q 1 #OTalk |

| Dr Gemma Wells @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard Acknowledging that we all have the ability to engage in research and the self confidence to pursue our interests #OTalk |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @LelanieBrewer absolutely! I often think it feels like ‘extra’ work on top of my day job.. maybe we need to have more flexible/availability to study time to work on research #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Does everyone have that confidence though #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard if we are not too confident in leading research ourselves, why don't we also learn how to be table setters for research? #otalk |
| Helen Atkin @HelenAtkin2 @JoWatson22 @lezeki Research language often feels inaccessible, so we need to ask ourselves how we can communicate research processes, findings and outputs in straight forward terms that everyone can understand #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Linking with outcome measures which people already have #OTalk |

| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard Agree and supporting others to get involved in research no matter if it’s only a small part of the research process #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @POPPED_Project: @DrGillianWard department culture, set by the leader/manager/head persons #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard How do you mean Bill? #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @margaretOT360: Linking with outcome measures which people already have #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 I know loads of OTs from new grads to advanced practitioners and I would say not #OTalk |
| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer Definitely! It so easy to let the research slip when we have other deadlines but actually we need to make research count as urgent too #OTalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 support on the journey is really important #otalk |
| Dr Gemma Wells @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard I think that this links to appreciating the unique and valuable role that we play both in practice and academia #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Interesting idea - how do we promote this ? #OTalk |
| Dr Stephanie Tempest @SetG75 I found the time pressure for research activity in the academic setting was different to the clinical setting but was still very much there - esp if you have a large ‘admin’ role eg Programme Lead, together with teaching commitments #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrGillianWard well- perhaps setting up opportunities for researchers to share their messages? Like nominating them to be featured on news? #otalk |
| Alison McCracken @OTMcCracken @kerri_schOT @LelanieBrewer Agreed - research does need time - particularly if we're aiming for good quality studies #OTalk . What have people's experiences been of trying to find this time? |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny I don't think everyone does have the confidence that's why having access to safe support is so important #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @YmchwilStroc: @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard Agree and supporting others to get involved in research no matter if it’s only a small part of… |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @LelanieBrewer I totally agree. I’m in the process of trying to get my diss published but after a busy day on the wards at work, I often let my research take a back seat in the evenings #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Ready for question 2.What networks and collaborations are important to cultivate to underpin and facilitate a culture of research? #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @LelanieBrewer: Definitely! It so easy to let the research slip when we have other deadlines but actually we need to make research count… |

| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard So easy to do though #Otalk |
| Dr Gemma Wells @GemmaOTPhD @preston_jenny I agree, and part of that support needs to be reflecting back what individuals can bring to the research table, regardless of their previous level of experience #OTalk |
| Helen Atkin @HelenAtkin2 @YmchwilStroc @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard There is also something about considering how we communicate something of the excitement of doing research rather than it being seen as something that is only done by ‘others’#OTalk |
| Alison McCracken @OTMcCracken @lezeki @JoWatson22 Buddy / Mentor system for researchers and practitioners would really help at all levels I think #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @OTMcCracken @LelanieBrewer I’m finding it so hard to make time to focus on my research. After a busy day on the wards at work I sometimes don’t feel I have the time/energy to work on my research in the evenings #otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @OTMcCracken: @kerri_schOT @LelanieBrewer Agreed - research does need time - particularly if we're aiming for good quality studies #OTal… |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard and keeping them engaged too? #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q2 folks #OTalk |
| leisle Ezekiel @lezeki Linking in with already vibrant communities. We have @CahprOxford locally who do exciting work but few OTs go #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @DrGillianWard 1. Any researchers or experts within interested area of research will be good people to network. 2. Collaborations- service users are definitely important! #otalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 Very easy- why is that? do we somehow not give this aspect of our professional role the same importance as face-to-face contact with the folk we work with? #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GemmaOTPhD: @preston_jenny I agree, and part of that support needs to be reflecting back what individuals can bring to the research tab… |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Do we need to promote CAHPR more? #Otalk |

| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer Being part of a community helps - at @NclUni_IHS I’m lucky to be in 2 group meetings that I get a lot of feedback from. My supervisor @niinamk encourages us to attend and I’ve met great people who facilitate a culture of research as a result #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny #OTalk Research is a great place to start! My personal networks are formed from within and outwith the profession. I have quite deliberately sought out research peers and mentors that I feel comfortable with, who will challenge me and encourage me. |
 | Eylan Ezekiel FCCT ✊🏽🌳🖖🏽 @eylanezekiel Can I get a shout out for #OTalk from #PrimaryRocks #ukedchat for fellow public sector professionals using Twitter for CPD. #OTsRock |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell Can we learn from NHS research capacity development? https://t.co/FvC3T0rTic #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JoWatson22 sometimes it's not just face to face, though. Like the autism book I just worked in, checking in and meeting up with potential collaborators from time to time is also important, if they are not close by. #otalk |
 | ed sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @OTMcCracken @kerri_schOT @LelanieBrewer Makes me think of learning to splint - being in awe of those who make it look easy and pretty; but mine were wonky, wrong size, messy and took ages but much slicker with regular practice #OTalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 what do you think might encourage more OTs to take the plunge and engage with CAHPR hubs @lezeki? #OTalk |
| Dr Gemma Wells @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard I’ve found it helps to have peers at various stages of engagement in research - everyone has something to offer, regardless of how far through they are #OTalk |
| LAC Andy Graham @andyg_PLP @OTalk_ R & D departments within hospital trusts are essential to getting anything off the ground #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard How do you promote that network? #Otalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: #OTalk Research is a great place to start! My personal networks are formed from within and outwith the profession. I h… |
| Helen Atkin @HelenAtkin2 @kerri_schOT @LelanieBrewer How do we engage managers to support them to understand that by researching or inquiring into our own practice has the potential to lead to more effective practice and less wasted time and effort?#OTalk |
| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer @kerri_schOT @OTMcCracken And sometimes it’s important to acknowledge that and do more another time #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @andy83g @OTalk_ I would go broader. If your research can have bigger impact, definitely want to invest going to WFOT and find potential collaborators across the globe. #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @DrGillianWard Yes, but sadly not all areas currently as active as other #OTalk |
 | SuzanneW_1 @SuzanneW_1 @SetG75 Research also needs to be accessible, to me this means well written for academics and paractitioners #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @andy83g: @OTalk_ R & D departments within hospital trusts are essential to getting anything off the ground #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 RT @andy83g: @OTalk_ R & D departments within hospital trusts are essential to getting anything off the ground #OTalk |

| Dr Gemma Wells @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard I believe that researchers should collaborate with those they are studying #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks for the share @POPPED_Project #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Yes let’s thing global #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Is it possible that we might not give research the same attention as it can feel like it is harder than some of the more familiar aspects of our roles? There are many thinks in our roles that feel challenging at first but we need to persevere #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GemmaOTPhD: @DrGillianWard I believe that researchers should collaborate with those they are studying #OTalk |
| Dr Stephanie Tempest @SetG75 I managed to find a small pot of grant money to buy someone in to cover a part of my role - needed to keep disciplined to ringfence the time for research activity .... but we did it 😃#OTalk |
 | Carol Percy @DrCarolPercy RT @theRCOT: Don't miss #OTalk tonight on the topic of “Creating a vibrant occupational therapy research community” which will be hosted by… |
| LAC Andy Graham @andyg_PLP @OTalk_ ...also linking in with RCOT specialist sections to disseminate research or just get ideas about gaps in the literature #OTalk |
| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer Managers generally understand but the problem that they have is there are targets to be met the organisation as a whole so it’s bigger than an individual or manager #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard That's why my door is always open with #autism research and related collaborations. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @preston_jenny: Is it possible that we might not give research the same attention as it can feel like it is harder than some of the more… |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: Is it possible that we might not give research the same attention as it can feel like it is harder than some of the more… |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @HelenAtkin2 @LelanieBrewer hmm I think it’s hard because I’m sure people realise and understand the importance of it.. but we are just so busy especially on the acute wards it’s hard to grant the time #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Could networking help with this? #Otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @LelanieBrewer Research time could be written into contracts? #OTalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 RT @DrGillianWard: Could networking help with this? #Otalk https://t.co/ef1zjnHMup |
| Dr Stephanie Tempest @SetG75 Definitely agree - accessible for all audiences inc service users, funders and commissioners too #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny So do we need to do some more work with managers to help them understand how research can support with targets? #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Do you mean job descriptions, or service contracts? #Otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @YmchwilStroc @LelanieBrewer Brilliant idea @YmchwilStroc #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT RT @LelanieBrewer: Managers generally understand but the problem that they have is there are targets to be met the organisation as a whole… |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 so maybe not just a network for those engaged or wishing to engage more with research, but also for service managers to help them find ways to support their staff? #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Question 3.Thinking on a national level, what would a vibrant research community look like and feel like to be part of? #OTalk |
| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer But the protected needs to be acknowledged by everyone and sometimes you might have responsibilities that need actioning on your research day #OTalk |
| Dr Gemma Wells @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard What about sharing the load amongst a group, perhaps allocating different roles in the research process to different people? May not seem quite so overwhelming then #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Time is a hard one, it comes up a lot in coaching as a reason for not doing things. Perhaps time isn’t the issue it’s maybe what we prioritise, there never will be enough time #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @YmchwilStroc @LelanieBrewer It depends, some clinical jobs will be difficult to do so. Like mine... many therapists already have to deal with weekly reports in my setting. They have little to no time for research. Any research time will probably be on the side. #otalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard That's a great idea! #Otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Is there something here about speculating to accumulate, we are all busy clinically but are we doing the right things in the right way to gain maximum benefit for our clients #Otalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @YmchwilStroc @LelanieBrewer fab idea!! make it more prominent in OT’s roles in an acute setting #otalk |
| ed sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @kerri_schOT @HelenAtkin2 @LelanieBrewer Who stops you from using your time for research related activities?! Do we just go ahead until someone gives us a good reason not to? Will they be upset if you win an award for your Trust for your research? #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @DrGillianWard I work mostly with medics/ medical academics and they are increasingly having research sessions incorporated into their contracts so I guess that would be our job descriptions #OTalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 how might a network or community of OT researchers help with tackling the time challenge? #OTalk |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard Good point well made! #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT maybe also set appraisal objectives around research to ensure you have to make time for it #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @musedNeuroOT: @kerri_schOT @HelenAtkin2 @LelanieBrewer Who stops you from using your time for research related activities?! Do we just… |

| LAC Andy Graham @andyg_PLP @OTalk_ I was looking to do a service development in amputee rehab as Band 6 and applied for a @CAHPRNNorthEast small funds grant...more OTs need to be aware that there are pots of money out there #OTalk |
| Dr Stephanie Tempest @SetG75 Not sure I totally agree - some ‘small’ research projects I’ve been involved in have made a big impact at a local level, as the results translated effectively to a targeted local population. #OTalk |
| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @OTalk_ prioritisation is key... and I always seem to prioritise other things over my research! #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @JoWatson22 Absolutely, I think this is so important! My recent work illustrates how important management support and leadership is in creating a culture of improvement #OTalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Also some people have a bad experience of ‘research’ at uni and it put them off. They just think it’s not for them and never go back to look at it later #OTalk |
 | Dr Naomi Gallant @naomi_gallant It definitely needs service managers to lead the way in allowing time for research activity to be a part of everyday practice.. but we can be part of that as we lead our colleagues #OTalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 sometimes giving ourselves permission is the trickiest thing - especially if confidence is a little lacking. How might networks help with this? #OTalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: @JoWatson22 Absolutely, I think this is so important! My recent work illustrates how important management support and l… |

| ed sum Occupational Therapist🏳️🌈❤🏴 @musedNeuroOT @preston_jenny I think so. I have met managers who struggle to support and utilise the skills of staff with post-reg masters and doctorates in clinical settings #OTalk |
| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer @musedNeuroOT @kerri_schOT @HelenAtkin2 Not one person specifically but a culmination of circumstances. In my previous academic role issues frequently came up but if you’re in charge of something urgent you sometimes need to weigh up the costs of not addressing it in a timely manner #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q 3 folks #OTalk |
 | Ellen @OTEllenUK @DrGillianWard I think more opportunity to complete research practice placements would be hugely beneficial! Seeing it and being part of a research delivery team during my first year of the course has completely changed my attitude towards research! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JoWatson22: sometimes giving ourselves permission is the trickiest thing - especially if confidence is a little lacking. How might netw… |
| Gillian Ward @DrGillianWard RT @OTalk_: Q 3 folks #OTalk https://t.co/5UaNOX2MVe |
| Helen Atkin @HelenAtkin2 @GemmaOTPhD @DrGillianWard I agree and wonder whether we can take it one step further and use approaches that support us to ‘co-inquire’ together #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny It's also about finding innovative ways to develop research capacity. We encourage clinicians of all grades to participate within our research activities, and it doesn't need to be onerous #Otalk |
 | Dr Nikki Daniels @NikkiDanielsOT @BillWongOT @YmchwilStroc @LelanieBrewer And perhaps that’s where we are going wrong! It’s always seen as the bit on the side #Otalk |
| Jo Watson @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: It's also about finding innovative ways to develop research capacity. We encourage clinicians of all grades to particip… |

| Kerri Schubert @kerri_schOT @musedNeuroOT @HelenAtkin2 @LelanieBrewer In an ideal world that would be fantastic.. but I’m pretty sure if I focused on getting my dissertation published rather than seeing medically fit patients and creating safe discharge plans there would be a few issues #otalk |

| melanie faulkner @melf74 oops #otalk !!! |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @NikkiDanielsOT @YmchwilStroc @LelanieBrewer And another thing I think what has been going wrong- we are also poor at managing our occupational balance, especially those who are capable in research. #otalk |
| Margaret Spencer MA @margaretOT360 Absolutely especially in charity posts #OTalk |
| Dr Naomi Gallant @naomi_gallant Perhaps over time we can challenge this so that change in attitudes towards research can be embedded #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SetG75 @SuzyorkOT true- I was just thinking about sometimes some studies want bigger sample sizes and pooling can perhaps be a way. #otalk |

| Dr Naomi Gallant @naomi_gallant @preston_jenny It is very dependent on individuals but I’d agree a top down approach would help clinicians give themselves permission to engage in research activities. Also need to trail-blaze from the bottom up and push boundaries! #OTalk #leadership |
| Lelanie 🇪🇺 @LelanieBrewer @lezeki @OTalk_ @theRCOT Definitely! I moved to the Peak District/Sheffield area three days ago so keen to meet any #OccupationalTherapy researchers or #PhD students in the area. #OTalk #networking |

| Alison McCracken @OTMcCracken @DrGillianWard There are lots of passionate OTs interested and motivated but feeling they lack the skills or time for research. Also can feel isolating. Building networks and offering opportunities for skills development is vital. Lots of great stuff already happening but we can do more #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SusanCorr1 and private companies should be willing to create roles for such. It will be such worthy investments in long run. #otalk |

I'm not at a point where I want a "research career" so can't justify a day trip and overnight stay for a study day. But I'd love to be exploring small scale research projects and have no idea where to start. A webinar would just hit the spot! #OTalk |

| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc Great @OTalk_ everyone, nice to see so many other OTs engaged in research. Let’s start this network now. Don’t be strangers! #OTalk |
| LAC Andy Graham @andyg_PLP @preston_jenny @JoWatson22 @theRCOT I'd say measuring changing attitudes to research is key. If we can't change OTs attitude then we definitely aren't going to change their behaviour! Making research accessible and enjoyable seems key to this process #OTalk |
