Student-led OT special interest groups can improve students' confidence and sense of connection to industry, but access to appropriate CPD and time available to participate are challenges - practical, low $, and on-campus are desirable. #CurtinOTSWSP #AlliedHealthHons

#AlliedHealthHons #CurtinOTSWSP chronic pain management scoping review - a tailored approach to health services and patient education are most cited strategies. OTs use a holistic biopsychosocial approach and need to increase the profile of our occupation -focussed contribution.

#ThGreatDebate We can’t be truly person-centred if we go into our practice trying to make these three categories fit @lou_gustafsson #OTAUS2019

[Marina Ciccarelli @ErgoChick]

#TheGreatDebate Occupational categories shouldn’t be applied to individuals but to communities and include #interdependence #OTAUS2019

#TheGreatDebate new graduate Anna Jessop finds this discussion unnerving haven’t just graduated from a course where self care, leisure and productivity were embedded. The keynote by @alisongerlach has her thinking about how better to be person-centred to be inclusive #OTAUS19

@mmolineux believes his bath this morning was so much more than self care #toomuchinfo #TheGreatDebate #OTAUS2019

The categories of self care, productivity, and leisure do not have borders - cooking a meal is work for some, leisure for others, and self care for many. #OTAUS2019 #thegreatdebate

[Marina Ciccarelli @ErgoChick]

#TheGreatDebate the opposing team believes being flexible with how selfcare, leisure, and work allows its to be person- centred. These three pillars have been central to OT practice for so long because they work #OTAUS19

[Marina Ciccarelli @ErgoChick]

#TheGreatDebate - it’s the HOW and the WHY we do activities @mmolineux - Using self care, leisure, and productivity minimises human being and doing and limits how we can engage with the people we service #OTAUS2019
