#OTalk is used widely by the profession and has a large following as a result we often receive enquiries about recruiting Occupational Therapist as research participants.
The purpose of #OTalk is to facilitate a weekly Twitter chat, to enable discussion about occupational therapy and the broader academic discipline of occupational science.
#OTalk is run by a team of volunteers. As research needs to be approved via ethics, the team of volunteers do not have the capacity to ensure any tweets about research have been properly approved via ethics.
In line with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, We can not give permission to researchers to use our platform to recruit participants and or use any data from previous chats.
OTalk does not post or retweet research recruitment requests. Researchers can use their own Twitter accounts to raise awareness of their project by tagging @OTalk_
