 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Hi everyone welcome to tonight’s #OTalk research great to have you with us. say hi so that we know who is joining us. Lots to get through tonight so we’re going to get started quite soon |
| @JoWatson22 Hi all. Looking forward to an interesting discussion this evening #OTalk | |
 | Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Sorry this time with #Otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Couple of important things, don’t forget to include #OTalk or we won’t know what you are tweeting. Also pls. Respect all professional codes of conduct. Be nice to each other people and have fun |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome back [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] It has to start from each of us. If we ourselves are not excited, how can we get others excited about research? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Here is Q 1 folks #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] Another one if it's work environment- a supervisor and/or management that supports value of EBP. #otalk |
| @GemmaOTPhD @OTalk_ Good evening #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 |
| @JoWatson22 and how do we make research less daunting [REDACTED USER] ? #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] and of course there is strength in numbers with this. The more the merrier with this kind of thing. #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny Can’t believe I’ve just done it again #OTalk. Concentrate and focus 😂😂 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think if we each divide and conquer on some fronts, this will be improved in no time! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ For those just joining us here Q 1 #OTalk |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] Acknowledging that we all have the ability to engage in research and the self confidence to pursue our interests #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Me neither 😀 #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GemmaOTPhD: [REDACTED USER] Acknowledging that we all have the ability to engage in research and the self confidence to pursue our inter… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] if we are not too confident in leading research ourselves, why don't we also learn how to be table setters for research? #otalk |
| @JoWatson22 support on the journey is really important #otalk | |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] I think that this links to appreciating the unique and valuable role that we play both in practice and academia #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] well- perhaps setting up opportunities for researchers to share their messages? Like nominating them to be featured on news? #otalk |
| 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 |
| @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: I don't think everyone does have the confidence that's why having access to safe support is so important #Otalk https://… | |
| @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 | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q2 folks #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] 1. Any researchers or experts within interested area of research will be good people to network. 2. Collaborations- service users are definitely important! #otalk |
| @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… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @JoWatson22: Very easy- why is that? do we somehow not give this aspect of our professional role the same importance as face-to-face con… |
| 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. |
| 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 |
| @JoWatson22 what do you think might encourage more OTs to take the plunge and engage with CAHPR hubs [REDACTED USER]? #OTalk | |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] 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 | |
| @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… | |
| 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @GemmaOTPhD: [REDACTED USER] I’ve found it helps to have peers at various stages of engagement in research - everyone has something to of… |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] I believe that researchers should collaborate with those they are studying #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks for the share @POPPED_Project #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: [REDACTED USER] I believe that researchers should collaborate with those they are studying #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] 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… |
| @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… | |
| 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 |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Brilliant idea [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| @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 | |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| 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 |
| @JoWatson22 how might a network or community of OT researchers help with tackling the time challenge? #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 |
| @JoWatson22 sometimes giving ourselves permission is the trickiest thing - especially if confidence is a little lacking. How might networks help with this? #OTalk | |
| @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: @JoWatson22 Absolutely, I think this is so important! My recent work illustrates how important management support and l… | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q 3 folks #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… |
| 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 |
| @JoWatson22 RT @preston_jenny: It's also about finding innovative ways to develop research capacity. We encourage clinicians of all grades to particip… | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] Sadly this seems to be quite common [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| @JoWatson22 RT @OTalk_: Q 3 folks #OTalk https://t.co/5UaNOX2MVe | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] or sometimes perhaps make it an alternative to clinical placements, especially for those who struggle in this area? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In my setting in US, productivity is king. And many already are struggling to keep up with keeping reports timely. #otalk |
| @JoWatson22 for me a research community would be accessible, inclusive, supportive, energising, engaging, challenging, inspiring … #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Folks there was a Q3 a while ago #OTalk |
| @JoWatson22 such an important question and issue. A research community cannot thrive and help to support growth in research confidence and capacity if folk don't engage... #otalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] yes- I think many maybe straddling in many directions in OT to make a difference, too! Maybe some of us are guilty of trying to do too much? #otalk |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] Establish ways of engaging that are not overly dependent on time or financial support. Online engagement certainly has its place #OTalk | |
| @smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #otalk it's so difficult ... as a clinician doing research it was hard to explain what I'd started.... i wasn't following in anyone's shoes... it's a lonely place and hard to communicate the benefits...... think local unis have a huge role in supporting the community of ..... | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Ok so maybe we missed Q 3 but this one is REALLY important #OTalk to think about |
 | Susan Corr💙 @SusanCorr1 #otalk we would certainly be interested in exploring offering a research placement in our community & mental health services Trust [REDACTED USER] , we've done it for nursing & medical students in the past. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @smileyfacehalo: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #otalk it's so difficult ... as a clinician doing research it was hard to expl… |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] Provide opportunities for like minded people to gather. Create a ‘register’ or ongoing research interests to enable collaboration/ peer to peer discussions. Writing retreats #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] and while associations should also play a role. Maybe make it better incentives to contribute to research? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @GemmaOTPhD: [REDACTED USER] Provide opportunities for like minded people to gather. Create a ‘register’ or ongoing research interests to… |
| @JoWatson22 throughout our R&D Review, there has been a consistent theme asking that @RCOT support members in developing research networks and communities. Now id your chance to help us consider how to do that #OTalk | |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny And in my own experience it is that higher critical thinking skills which can be seen as a threat ... sometimes, not always #Otalk |
| @JoWatson22 RT @GemmaOTPhD: [REDACTED USER] Provide opportunities for like minded people to gather. Create a ‘register’ or ongoing research interests to… | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] I will expand it to globally... since there are some similarities. Creating a community of practice is a start, but I think also monthly "curry nights" or something like that regionally can also be a good idea. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts folks make sure you take it #OTalk |
| @JackiePottleOT Think we need to shout about links between research and how it can impact directly on clinical practice and improve patient care #OTalk | |
| @JoWatson22 The certainly will [REDACTED USER] multidisciplinary approach is great for many, but some also indicate a desire for something OT specific - perhaps to help folk get that initial toe in the water. Any suggestions? #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SusanCorr1 [REDACTED USER] I think redoing the criteria of how students can be qualified OT's is important. It doesn't have to be all clinical, does it? #otalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny By offering access to a research population seems to be quite an attractive proposition in my experience. And of course shared research interests #OTalk |
| @JoWatson22 RT @OTalk_: This is a great opportunity to share your thoughts folks make sure you take it #OTalk https://t.co/cpHTd0Pl3S | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Would this be different to the internships already available via NIHR/ HEE [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| @GemmaOTPhD [REDACTED USER] Make contact with the Occupational Therapy Professional Lead at your local university. They are a fabulous means of signposting and very likely to engage with research opportunities (slightly bias response there 😁) #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] In my case, I had sent internal emails about the importance of student education. Not sure how well it is received within my company. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ To explore what kinds of things [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] @smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Hear hear!!! #OTalk |
| @JackiePottleOT Link with your academic unit and share interest with consultants -my team have supported me and encourage me to keep going -otherwise agree can be a lonely task but so so stimulating #OTalk | |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] As if [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Can you read this folks... we have 15 mins left and an open invitation to contribute to the new strategy. Look up from your own organisation and let’s think big #OTalk |
| @JoWatson22 Really useful observation @POPPED_Project [REDACTED USER] needs to understand what different people mean when they use that word - we are not all always talking about the same thing! ;) #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] Or in my case, distances between states. Some big states in the US literally needs at least half dozen potential meetup locations that are somewhat accessible. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Some great ideas in here [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Or perhaps meeting minutes to read over, too? #otalk |
| @JoWatson22 RT @OTalk_: Can you read this folks... we have 15 mins left and an open invitation to contribute to the new strategy. Look up from your own… | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] or maybe we need more of such roles in our work, rather than just straight being a clinician. Also, the salary should be comparable to clinicians? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Wow we're onto our final question for tonight #OTAlk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SuzyorkOT [REDACTED USER] or for the latter, can be pooled into something bigger? #otalk |
| @JoWatson22 if [REDACTED USER] were to facilitate the development of an OT research community or network, how would we know if it had an impact? what would we need to measure? #OTalk | |
| @smileyfacehalo @preston_jenny #otalk bang on. This is where we need to be open and acknowledge there is stigma attached to doing research on clinical practice, and not all managers are research trained or experienced....... the threat thing is about unconscious bias.... | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @smileyfacehalo @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think it should also be for all the major associations in the world- Australia, Canada, and US. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @JoWatson22: if [REDACTED USER] were to facilitate the development of an OT research community or network, how would we know if it had an impac… |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny See perseverance has paid off [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| @JoWatson22 that's certainly what we will be aiming for [REDACTED USER] #otalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @BillWongOT: [REDACTED USER] @smileyfacehalo @preston_jenny [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I think it should also be for all the major associa… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @JoWatson22 @POPPED_Project [REDACTED USER] I think we also need some cultural change in workplaces too. Yes, placement students can help. But, for places that are not-conducive to having them, cultural change in workplace will have to do. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Keep them coming [REDACTED USER] #OTalk |
| @JoWatson22 @POPPED_Project so maybe we need to consider a multi-faceted network, with access points and foci to suit different people at different times? [REDACTED USER] #OTalk | |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] @SuzyorkOT true- I was just thinking about sometimes some studies want bigger sample sizes and pooling can perhaps be a way. #otalk |
| @smileyfacehalo @OTalk_ #otalk survey clinicians in practice identify the barriers (e.g. Lack of time..), support by making research activity mandatory (but personalised) eg a band 5 can do a Phd if they have the skill..... | |
| @JackiePottleOT Support to publish and oral presentation -particularly for anyone lacking confidence -just don't think OTs are' show offs ' but we need to learn how to promote our findings and show impact of our research for patients or other professions will do it #OTalk | |
| @smileyfacehalo [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] #otalk could set up another twitter feed... get clinicians to put the problems on and research active to try to solve them....!....work together | |
| @JoWatson22 cultural change is definitely a factor in helping us to more the agenda forward @BillWongOT #OTalk | |
| Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny @JoWatson22 [REDACTED USER] Changes in the levels of research engagement and outputs, cultural questionnaires to reflect changing attitudes, grant income #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Just reflecting on the rheumatology conf. I attend3d as an ECR, people at all stages of their career were there which was fab but the agendas had things for everyone. ECRs need to meet with senior research’s #OTalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @JackiePottleOT I think tooting our horns is a skill we got to master. We should not think about we are tooting too loud. We should be thinking about how to toot louder and louder. #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 |
| @JackiePottleOT A list of OT researchers and offers of mentorship ? Would love to encourage others and to have an experienced OT research buddy #Otalk | |
