OTalk

Grabchat – ‘Working Creatively with Risk’ – #OTalk 30th April 2013.

Helen OTUK

This week was a great chat with lots of thoughts and discussion about ‘Risk’. This discussion explored our risk cultures and delved into what was good practice. The introduction with some ideas to start the flow of thinking can be found here: http://otalkocchats.wordpress.com/2013/04/28/working-creatively-with-risk-otalk-30th-april-2013/

As a follow up we have reserved 23rd July 2013 to share our experiences from practice on how we utilise risk to engage with those we work with. We would also like to explore how we can support each other to embrace risk enablement. If you have a case study you would like to share please get in touch @Helen_OTUK.

Some points to ponder as you draft a case study…

I feel this tweet aids in highlighting the need to be aware of what is driving your risk culture.

Are you risk managing or risk enabling?

A good question to consider

Also do we have a culture within a culture?

I think that is enough to think about for now, but please add any comments or thoughts you have we look forward to exploring further in July.

@clissa89 @Nnikki_Duffy that sounds lovely! I feel like I’ve made a poor effort with my onesie, herbal tea and cereal bar. 😉 #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:48:41 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BillWongOT that sounds like some complicated multi-tasking! Glad you can join us 🙂 #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:49:13 +0100)

@OTalk_Occhat Apologies in advance if I miss any tweets without the hashtag – I’m on Tweetchat as Tweetdeck no longer supported by my mac 😦 #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:02:42 +0100)
@Helen_otuk Please be mindful of confidentiality etc, but hope we can explore some interesting aspects of risk and how we are creative. #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:02:45 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @uk_james Hi james, good to have you here. I am sure you have some interesting points to add. #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:03:09 +0100)
@Helen_otuk Ok for starters, although I do not wish to dwell on ‘structures’ important to consider. T1 Do we have good risk management cultures? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:04:28 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BespokeRelax yay! can be tricky to keep up on mobile, but try to concentrate on one conversation – you can catch up with transcript #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:04:37 +0100)
@kirstyes RT @Georgia_Fair : @clissa89 Hi! I’ll miss tonights #OTalk but here’s a link to the human rights based risk screen I use http://t.co/Is6eEDz6Wb (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:04:52 +0100)

@OTalk_Occhat @Helen_otuk how would you define a “good” risk management culture? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:07:03 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @OTalk_Occhat Good question? I was hoping to get the discussion going to find what people think? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:08:28 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat @Helen_otuk I would say there is a mutual buy in between clients and caregivers. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:09:02 +0100)
@uk_james . @OTalk_Occhat @helen_otuk I suppose the question could be “what” is a good risk management culture? Think includes positive risk #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:09:32 +0100)
@clissa89 @helen_otuk risk assessment/management is a significant part of my team’s day-to-day work. we are very aware of positive risk taking #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:09:59 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @Helen_otuk I think we are culturally very risk aware however struggle occasionally with positive risk taking #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:10:09 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BillWongOT I’m not sure I understand what you mean Bill. Could you elaborate? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:10:28 +0100)
@Helen_otuk Agree RT @Nnikki_Duffy : I think we are culturally very risk aware however struggle occasionally with positive risk taking #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:10:58 +0100)
@BillWongOT @clissa89 @Helen_otuk and as a client of MH services, positive risk taking is also emphasized. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:11:26 +0100)
@BarbaraKornblau I think it is important for people to b properly trained in what they R doing & know when they are not & refer to someone else #Otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:12:02 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat Definitely a theme here around positive risk taking. What does this look like? What are the barriers? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:12:13 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat I know my mom is very risk adverse. I am a person who tolerates more risk at times (but calculated) than her 1/2 #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:12:29 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat sometimes that can b upsetting when my mom feels that I take on too much risk in instances I feel they are “just right” #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:12:59 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BarbaraKornblau hi Barbara, good to have you here. That’s a really important point re competence #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:13:14 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BillWongOT ooh good point. as individuals we have different risk tolerance/thresholds – important to be aware of this #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:13:49 +0100)
@kirstyes Sorry having techie issues following hashtag today. Going to switch to computer and hope to join in soon. #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:13:57 +0100)
@uk_james . @OTalk_Occhat @KentSocialCare has a positive risk management policy to support practice https://t.co/VP3k9Pu9r6 #OTalk #personalisation (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:14:03 +0100)
@BillWongOT @BespokeRelax @Nnikki_Duffy I agree and I like that as a service user. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:14:24 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax Why do you think that is? Why are OT’s more positive about risk than others? (Has not always been my experience) #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:14:25 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @kirstyes Hope you can join us soon. #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:14:44 +0100)
@CommuneOT Hi all #OTalk different cultures have different tolerance to risk too #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:15:21 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @uk_james Yes James, that was going to be my next thread, T2 Do we have supportive risk management cultures? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:15:40 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat yes… as OT’s we sometimes have to educate one party or the other about these differences and live with them. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:15:50 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat if not, that can sometimes hinder the clients’ abilities to engage in occupations. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:16:09 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @CommuneOT oh yes! so not just individual differences, but also cultural influences on how we perceive risk? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:16:15 +0100)
@uk_james . @Helen_otuk @bespokerelax maybe not just OT specific issue, but are community based staff less risk averse than acute hosp? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:16:21 +0100)
@BarbaraKornblau People who don’t know their limits are taking risks at the patient’s expense #Otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:16:23 +0100)
@BillWongOT RT @BarbaraKornblau : People who don’t know their limits are taking risks at the patient’s expense #Otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:17:14 +0100)
@CommuneOT Have taken greater risks here in France with clients than in the Uk because expectations are so different #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:17:24 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @uk_james you could be into something there… something about our environments? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:17:28 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @Helen_otuk @bespokerelax OTs understand that Everyday life involves an element of risk, our positive risk ax is grading & adapting #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:18:11 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @CommuneOT that’s really interesting. can you give an example? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:18:19 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax Yes, how do you support individuals and your teams to move this agenda forward? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:18:23 +0100)
@uk_james . @Helen_otuk yes, cultural I think – environments, managers, policy and procedure, usual practice #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:18:56 +0100)
@BillWongOT @CommuneOT I personally feel that I took on more risks in #OT than my previous years combined. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:18:57 +0100)
@Helen_otuk RT @uk_james : . @Helen_otuk yes, cultural I think – environments, managers, policy and procedure, usual practice #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:19:37 +0100)
@charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax not in mine either – have seen OTs try to eliminate all risk through fear of repercussions #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:20:11 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax yup! That’s what sometimes those around us who don’t know too much about OT don’t realize. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:20:18 +0100)
@uk_james . @BespokeRelax bit like stories I hear about over-assessing mobility in hosp where in reality on return home person would manage #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:20:40 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @charl885 Yes Charlotte that ‘fear’ word was something I wanted to explore too… do we have a ‘fear’ culture? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:21:27 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax if my mom were an OT, I can easily see her be that type of OT. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:21:47 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax but you are right in that I think each of us do have some degree of “fear” with our clients. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:22:20 +0100)
@charl885 @OTalk_Occhat @CommuneOT cultural – heard several times during training that Scandinavia have much higher +ve risk #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:22:23 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @charl885 I think it depends where you work… the culture of the environment and the policies that the employer have adopted? #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:23:29 +0100)
@BarbaraKornblau I think competence is the most important means of prevention of risk. Remembering the details & making them subcortical in practice #Otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:23:29 +0100)
@uk_james . @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax risk is usually impossible to eliminate. Where is personal choice in all this? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:23:39 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @charl885 @CommuneOT that’s interesting! (as a Scandinavian, I’m curious to explore that more) #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:23:56 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @uk_james @charl885 @helen_otuk @BespokeRelax life is risky! #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:24:20 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @uk_james yes James very important point. #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:24:22 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat @CommuneOT true… my mom’s side of the family are very risk adverse. That has impacted me in some way in #OT . #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:24:42 +0100)
@kirstyes RT @uk_james : . @OTalk_Occhat @KentSocialCare has a positive risk management policy to support practice https://t.co/VP3k9Pu9r6 #OTalk #personalisation (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:24:58 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk RT @HarryStarkPhD : I see Risk Management Culture today = to Fear Based Decisions. Hard to work as psychologist based on fear #psych (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:25:12 +0100)
@CommuneOT @OTalk_Occhat meaningful activities with rural folk involve risk-Ive built bonfires,cracked walnuts with rocks, horse+cart trips etc #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:26:03 +0100)
@BillWongOT @BespokeRelax @Helen_otuk absolutely. I’ll name an ex. I mentioned to my #OT that I was planning to do an OT conf presentation 1/2 #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:26:58 +0100)
@uk_james . @BespokeRelax @helen_otuk and if motivated to make something work, could be better than avoiding eg an activity #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:26:58 +0100)
@charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax think the ‘fear’ could make OTs and PTs overcautious 1/2 #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:27:03 +0100)
@kirstyes @uk_james @BespokeRelax I wonder how much this comes with experience. I know when I worked in in-pt as first job I assumed more risk #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:27:05 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk who uses a the sensible risk management principles? As directed by the HSE (UK).(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:27:21 +0100)
@kirstyes @uk_james @BespokeRelax #otalk than there really was. It was working in community that made me see risk in a different light.(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:27:41 +0100)
@BillWongOT @BespokeRelax @Helen_otuk The risk was- I may look stupid if I failed. But the benefit was that it will bring satisfaction. #otalk 2/2(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:27:58 +0100)
@charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax physical OTs could overprescribe equipment.could lead to longer hospital stays? #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:28:25 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @kirstyes @BespokeRelax good point – my more experienced colleagues take more +ve risks (but less experienced – potentially unaware?) #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:28:31 +0100)
@kirstyes #otalk – UK seems to be really risk adverse, e.g. risk assessments for flying abroad, concern about potential under-reporting(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:29:36 +0100)
@BarbaraKornblau I think less experienced fall in the category of not necessarily knowing what they don’t know & take more risks
#Otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:29:41 +0100)
@charl885 @OTalk_Occhat @CommuneOT yes I believe their rehab methods have higher risk than ours.can’t find any evidence off hand! #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:29:54 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax to some degree though, overcautious is better than facing the consequences. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:29:56 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BespokeRelax @uk_James think I’m more confident in taking +ve risk when I know the person (& how they perceive risk too) #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:30:13 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax if not sure, I think it’s best to ask for 2nd and 3rd opinions. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:30:14 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk 1/5 Sensible risk management is about: Ensuring that workers and the public are properly protected(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:30:18 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk 2/5 Providing overall benefit to society by balancing benefits and risks, with a focus on reducing real risks(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:31:19 +0100)
@uk_james @BespokeRelax @uk_james I guess the big Q is Whose risk is it? Profs role should be to support informed decision making #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:31:29 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax or sometimes you grade the interventions slower, which can also lead to longer stay. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:31:51 +0100)

@kirstyes @OTalk_Occhat @BespokeRelax Yes it’s all a process – comes with advancing clinical reasoning etc. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:32:55 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk 3/5 Ensuring that those who create risks manage them responsibly and understand the consequences of failure to manage real risks(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:33:03 +0100)
@kirstyes @Helen_otuk @uk_james @BespokeRelax Yes, very possibly. #otalk – Concern about making the wrong decision.(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:33:30 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk 4/5 Enabling innovation and learning not stifling them(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:33:52 +0100)

@OTalk_Occhat @Nnikki_Duffy @uk_james what do you think this is about? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:36:02 +0100)
@BillWongOT @BespokeRelax and that can let our clients and/or their caregivers know that whether their concerns are justified. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:36:34 +0100)

@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax I guess it’s the risk of running the cost up versus potential consequences w/ our licenses. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:37:50 +0100)
@kirstyes Do people think we involve clients enough in risk assessment? Surely seeing how them problem solve solutions is a good assessment #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:38:46 +0100)
@charl885 @uk_james @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax agreed. Through attempting to eliminate risk we could lose client centred practice #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:01 +0100)
@tizztaztic #OTalk risked need to managed and reviewed regularly(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:04 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk T3 ok, so we have looked at principles and culture what about clients / services users / patients? Who decides?(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:10 +0100)
@uk_james @OTalk_Occhat @Nnikki_Duffy use positive risk management, consider mental capacity, look for ways to support choices, contingencies #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:48 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @CommuneOT @otalk_occhat I want u to b my OT lol #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:54 +0100)
@Helen_otuk @kirstyes think we were thinking the same at the same time there? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:39:55 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @kirstyes involving the person is so important! Often my patients will tell me if they feel safe/not to do something and why #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:40:10 +0100)
@BillWongOT @kirstyes as a client, I would say yes. My #OT goes over potential risks in situations that might be unfamiliar to me all the time #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:40:20 +0100)
@CommuneOT @kirstyes yes, and learn from them too #OTalk #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:40:35 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @kirstyes we may perceive risks differently to our service users, & that’s a valuable consideration too #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:40:43 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @tizztaztic thanks for joining us tonight. would you like to elaborate on that? #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:41:17 +0100)
@kirstyes @CommuneOT #otalk – Very much agree – they may already have their own work arounds that we wouldn’t think of.(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:41:22 +0100)
@kirstyes RT @OTalk_Occhat : @kirstyes we may perceive risks differently to our service users, & that’s a valuable consideration too #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:41:30 +0100)
@charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax should we be looking more to therapeutic use of self so clients can find risk level 1/2 #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:41:42 +0100)
@charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax that they’re comfortable with? As it is so individual 2/2 #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:42:12 +0100)
@tizztaztic #OTalk risks should be managed and reviewed as there are so many influencing factors(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:42:47 +0100)
@Helen_otuk RT @charl885 : @uk_james @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax agreed. Through attempting to eliminate risk we could lose client centred practice #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:42:56 +0100)
@DoBeDoBeDo14 Sorry I’m late #Otalk – just been at a seminar. Ready with a cup of tea now!(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:42:57 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax I think it’s a mutual thing. Sometimes our clients may take too much risks. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:43:05 +0100)
@Helen_otuk RT @kirstyes : @CommuneOT #otalk – Very much agree – they may already have their own work arounds that we wouldn’t think of.(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:43:43 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @DoBeDoBeDo14 better late than never! 😉 glad you made it. we’re currently talking about service user involvement in risk ax/mgmt #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:43:59 +0100)
@CommuneOT @kirstyes and a creative approach always involves (calculated) risk #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:44:17 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat @kirstyes but sometimes the caregiver, too. Last thing u want is that the client and the caregivers are not on same pg #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:44:27 +0100)
@Helen_otuk SCIE says ‘Providing real choice and control for people who use social care means enabling people to take the risks they choose’ #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:45:14 +0100)
@BillWongOT @CommuneOT @kirstyes absolutely… that’s all we can encourage clients to do anyway. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:45:22 +0100)
@kirstyes @BillWongOT That’s good – it is probably a balance though to not over emphasise risk over benefit. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:45:30 +0100)
@charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax so you believe it should be more collaborative? #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:46:10 +0100)
@DoBeDoBeDo14 Pretty new to ot (still a student) but agree with @kirstyes that it’s important to involve service user. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:46:26 +0100)
@kirstyes @charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax I would say yes. This takes time too and we must justify this use of time. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:46:27 +0100)
@BillWongOT @kirstyes that’s what I am trying to change the culture at my home… lol! #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:46:52 +0100)
@Helen_otuk SCIE – ‘With support, people using should be enabled to define their own risks and to recognise, identify and report issues. #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:47:06 +0100)
@BillWongOT @charl885 @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax in some instances, absolutely! #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:47:40 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk Yes collaboration all the way! @charl885 @BillWongOT @BespokeRelax (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:48:19 +0100)
@uk_james . @Helen_otuk & of course, contingencies about how to stay safe and well can be agreed & built into support plans #makingitreal #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:48:48 +0100)
@charl885 @kirstyes @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax think the experience of the OT has a part to play – less experience = more caution? #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:49:16 +0100)
@OTalk_Occhat @BillWongOT that’s a really good point – carers often know a lot about the risks, and are there when services arent #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:49:18 +0100)
@Helen_otuk yes RT @uk_james : & of course, contingencies about how to stay safe and well can be agreed & built into support plans #makingitreal #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:49:28 +0100)
@CommuneOT Got to go now, children calling – great 1st chat ; ) #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:50:58 +0100)
@Helen_otuk SCIE – Risk enablement should become a core part of placing people at the centre of their own care and support. 1/2 #OTalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:50:59 +0100)
@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat but sometimes it is like the reverse with me. #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:51:22 +0100)
@kirstyes @charl885 @BillWongOT @Helen_otuk @BespokeRelax or potentially the other way even?? #otalk – take risks because not aware of consequences(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:51:31 +0100)
@Helen_otuk #OTalk 2/2 It cannot be a ?bolt-on? solution to traditional adult social care systems which are not person-centred.(Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:51:40 +0100)

@kirstyes . @Helen_otuk I like the term risk enablement #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:53:11 +0100)

@kirstyes @BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat That’s why group discussions needed so that everyone gets to share their views and people move in same dir #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:54:38 +0100)

@BillWongOT My take home point today is that OT’s have 2 know the risk management abilities of clients so that OT’s can know how much 2 intervene #otalk (Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:00:13 +0100)

@Nnikki_Duffy #occhat however I think there are less barriers to reading now then there have even been.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:25:43 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala sometimes I listen & follow the words 4 sum reason it works. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:09 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy #occhat i luv old books cause the pages r cream & I can read them more easily #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:43 +0100)
@dawnyford #occhat have listened to audio books (latest, true blood) in bed just b4 I go to sleep. Stops my brain from whizzing & thinking about essays(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:28:59 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy #occhat I think the use of kindles etc can be powerful tools to enable people to continue the occupation of reading.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:31:11 +0100)
@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy i love new book smell, but also old book smell! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:31:46 +0100)
@BillWongOT @dawnyford I hear ya- I am on the same boat. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:32:06 +0100)
@BillWongOT @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy I do say nowadays sometimes I use Kindle for convenience. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:32:27 +0100)
@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy definitely, when you think what you can download for free! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:32:44 +0100)
@BillWongOT @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy I also like that you can zoom in- good for people with vision issues. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:33:48 +0100)
@orlalalalala @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy me too, i love the portability and handiness of the kindle, but love the feel of a book too! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:34:26 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @dawnyford during my degree I stopped reading fiction cause I had 2 much reading 2 do. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:35:03 +0100)
@BillWongOT @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy and now I can access Kindle with my computer, too! So, that’s also nice. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:35:04 +0100)
@orlalalalala #occhat has anyone spoken to OT clients about reading or enabled a person to read?(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:35:12 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @dawnyford 1st thing I did when finishing was get lost in a book nothing OT / health related #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:36:10 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford nowadays my readings consists of peer review articles. :p #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:36:12 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford That’s why I did book club for a few months too… hopefully I eventually can find my way back #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:36:47 +0100)
@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @dawnyford it’s great when you find a few books or an author that you really get into. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:37:38 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala I have used the kindle as it was lighter and easier to grasp then a book #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:37:44 +0100)
@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @dawnyford but it’s also difficult if you’re in a bit of a reading rut. I always ask for recommendations #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:38:25 +0100)
@BillWongOT @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford that’s why I think a book club is not a bad idea. All my book club friends are non-OT’s. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:39:05 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala #occhat however new technology can also be a barrier rather then an enabler.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:39:14 +0100)
@BillWongOT @dawnyford @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy I think there are some values of having a book. It provides meaning that u owned something #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:40:26 +0100)
@BillWongOT @dawnyford @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy though I would say it wouldn’t be good to follow my grandpa’s footsteps, though… lol! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:40:54 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala yes- I bet neither my mom nor my dad would ever use Kindle #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:41:38 +0100)
@dawnyford @orlalalalala @nnikki_duffy @BillWongOT Kindles r cool & very handy but r they as therapeutic as holding a good book in your hands? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:42:31 +0100)

@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @orlalalalala to be honest I prefer a book and wish I could set the back ground colour better. #occhat #dyslexia (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:43:25 +0100)

@dawnyford #occhat new tech does seem to be a barrier with older peeps. There r more ‘silver surfers’ out there now so phaps that will change!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:44:53 +0100)
@BillWongOT @orlalalalala Back in my #OT students days, I read some accounts from Schizophrenia Bulletin from way back. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:45:06 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala I suppose we all do that now and again, read to relate / understand a persons journey, or gain insight. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:46:17 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala I agree- I read a lot of autism self accounts for my own pleasure & my doctorate residency. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:48:35 +0100)
@orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT The Center Cannot Hold by Elyn Saks is really fascinating #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:49:09 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7 Hiya, just got in. @Nnikki_Duffy Reading is also good to escape into another world #occhat #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:49:59 +0100)
@BillWongOT @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy A pretty popular #autism non-fiction book is Look Me In The Eye #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:50:20 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy I suppose as OTs we need to recognise that when some1 says reading is an interest what part of reading is meaningful to them #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:51:49 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy #occhat reading can be social, work, relaxation, emotional. So given that if a person puts reading as an interest what would u ask? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:53:44 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy good question- probably will start off with his/her favorite books. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:54:46 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7 @Nnikki_Duffy Can they access the books they like? Would they like to have contact with others who like reading? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:55:27 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT yeah I would probably ask when they read. Times of stress etc. where they read, what do they love about reading? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:56:33 +0100)
@BillWongOT @eileenhegarty7 @Nnikki_Duffy good one! I am thinking a site like http://t.co/HRLyTnlTG1 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:57:24 +0100)

@dawnyford @BillWongOT @nnikki_duffy @orlalalalala obviously reading a lot of BJOT at the mo. helps with degree. Need some fiction 4 balance! #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:57:58 +0100)
@BillWongOT @dawnyford @Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala Same- I also read AJOT, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, and other OT ones, too. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:59:03 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7 @BillWongOT Yes, I’m a Goodreads member. Like that I can download samples of recommended books to my Kindle. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:59:22 +0100)
@BillWongOT @dawnyford @Nnikki_Duffy @orlalalalala I read a lot of these because I am writing lots of OT conference proposals. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:59:23 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy #occhat what do they love about reading might give clues. Like the runner who can’t run but what was found meaningful was competitiveness(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:15 +0100)
@BillWongOT @eileenhegarty7 or sometimes you can interact with like minded readers across the globe, too. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:31 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @eileenhegarty7 just downloaded that app but never used #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:00:58 +0100)
@dawnyford @Nnikki_Duffy @billwongot reading can mean dif things at dif life stages – for me now def work but come June, will be for relaxation #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:01:09 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy haha! Same can be said with strategy books. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:01:30 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy That’s a good point @BillWongOT I think also being able to discuss what u have read is also important to recognise #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:32 +0100)
@orlalalalala @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford @eileenhegarty7 i have to leave #occhat now, it was lovely chatting to you all. happy world book night!(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:40 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7 @BillWongOT Must check that out. Don’t have many friends who share my taste for popular science. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:49 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy yeah- the type of strategy books I will buy will be on poker. 😉 #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:03:55 +0100)

@AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy As an OT, you could ask questions to find out what aspect of reading is meaningful to your client. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:05:16 +0100)
@eileenhegarty7 @orlalalalala @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford I’m being kicked off computer by a truculent child. Nice chatting with you all. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:05:24 +0100)

@AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy Does meaning come from being able to socialize at a bookclub? Learning new knowledge for work? Leisure/relaxation? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:07:03 +0100)
@BillWongOT @AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy good question- when I did book club, it was the 1st one mostly. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:08:55 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT @eileenhegarty7 @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford @BillWongOT Sorry I was late to the #occhat . Just wanted to pop in and say hi.(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:10:11 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT stress reduction, emotional, traditions, role. The list can go on, shame that this is not explored more #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:10:13 +0100)
@BillWongOT @AbbyPediatricOT @eileenhegarty7 @orlalalalala @Nnikki_Duffy @dawnyford actually is not late at all- no grabchat until tomorrow. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:11:04 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT but I think that can make a good occupational science article. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:11:34 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy #occhat I will never look at reading on a persons interest checklist the same way again :)(Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:11:43 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy good take home point. Reading can lead you to know something more about a client. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:12:57 +0100)

@AbbyPediatricOT @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy it would be interesting to study the meaning of reading in different groups of people #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:21:29 +0100)
@BillWongOT @AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy Now we just need an occupational scientist who is willing to study all that. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:22:23 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy for example, parents of children with autism or adults with a cancer diagnosis. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:22:39 +0100)
@AbbyPediatricOT @BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy Reading would probably provide meaning for both groups, but in very different ways. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:23:18 +0100)
@BillWongOT @AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy or you can start planning a study to present it at WFOT in 2018. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:23:41 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT @billwongot great research proposal think of all the of times reading has been wrote down without a 2nd thought. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:24:21 +0100)
@BillWongOT @AbbyPediatricOT @Nnikki_Duffy For me, I know having a book club keeps me on my toes, as I needed extra push to read non-OT stuff. #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:24:27 +0100)
@BillWongOT @Nnikki_Duffy @AbbyPediatricOT anyone wants to spear head this anywhere? COT? AOTA? #occhat (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:25:19 +0100)
@Nnikki_Duffy @BillWongOT @abbypediatricot just think of all the ideas 4 research that have come from #occhat great resource 4 OT students #dissertation (Tue, 23 Apr 2013 21:28:46 +0100)
