4. Induction lecture (2016) “I just remember the warning lecture not necessarily a lecture educating you how to use anything…it came across more like scary really” Level 3 student Regulating practice An unintended consequence was risk avoidance

5. 2017 A different approach: Digital citizenship • Embedded formative learning activities within the curriculum = so all students and staff have a twitter account. • Embedded @YSJOT twitter feed to VLE • We aim to enable our students to engage with the community of practice in a socially responsible way Trede et al (2012 p.11) define professional identity as • “a way of being and a lens to evaluate, learn and make sense of practice”

6. Background: what do we know already? Policies to guide safe and professional practice British Medical Association (2011) College of Occupational Therapists (2015) Health and Care Professions Council, (HCPC) (2012) NHS Employers (2017); World Federation of Occupational Therapists (2016)

Social media for learning purposes amongst healthcare professionals Is Social Media a Meaningful or Dark Occupation for Young Adults with Eating Disorders? • Occupational therapy students’ use of social media and its impact on learning and developing interests about occupational therapy practice. • (N= 87) Social Media: The benefits and challenges for service users in healthcare: a review of the literature Student as CoResearcher Projects (SCoRe)

13. The Use of Social Media in Adolescent Teens: A Dark side of Occupation or a Valued Occupation? A Literature Review Aims: • To identify the positive effects of social media use on well-being. • To identify the negative effects of social media use on well-being. • To discuss the relevance of the findings to occupational therapy practice when working with adolescence. The current literature base is predominantly psychology and nursing based and there is limited research into the use of social media by occupational therapists. Preliminary Findings: • Social Media use in adolescents appears to be a problematic and linked to addiction. • An increased sense of social inclusion. • Increased risk of poor mental health (anxiety, depression and suicide) and cyberbullying.
