2 January 2013 
Now that the TWIM Awards are over, I started thinking. This is fine for bloggers. But what about tweeters? There’s a lot of good-quality mental health discussion on Twitter, and it deserves recognising too.
So, I hereby announce the #TwentalHealthAwards, recognising the best in mental health-themed Twitter accounts. And the winners will be chosen by you lot.
The categories are different to the TWIM Awards, in that they’re not linked to diagnostic categories. Some people have given feedback that they felt uncomfortable with categorisation along these lines, so this will give as an opportunity to try out other ways of categorising.
The categories are:
Patient Experience
Recovery
Campaigning
Subversive
Informative
Humorous
Helpful
Neurodiversity
Therapy
Psychiatry
Psychology
Nursing
Social Work
Professions Allied to Medicine Occupational Therapy [this category has been retitled as there was considerable confusion as to what is or isn't a profession allied to medicine. OT tweeters previously voted for in this category will still be counted.]
Academic
Carer
Here’s how to do it:
1. Submit your nominations by leaving them in a comment to the blog post announcing nominations (ie. this). Each individual can nominate up to four Twitter feeds per category, in as many categories as they like. However, they must submit at least two tweeter overall for nomination.
2. For impartiality reasons, my own Twitter feed @thus_spake_z, and that of this blog @TWOM_Blog and my other blog @NotSoBigSociety, are not eligible for these awards (obviously neither is Pandora’s @serialinsomniac, but she does not use it for actual discussion these days anyway).
3. NO SPAMMING/MANIPULATING THE NOMINATIONS! Suspicious nomination patterns may result in a tweeter being disqualified from the awards. In the event of any suspicious nomination patterns, the decision of the adjudicators (Zarathustra and Pandora) will be final.
4. The tweeters with the most nominations in each category will be declared the winner. Up to two runner-up prizes in each category will also be awarded. To be eligible for a runner-up prize, a Twitter feed must have received at least three nominations.
5. In the event of a tie, one of the adjudicators will cast a deciding vote.
6. Only public Twitter accounts are eligible for the awards.
7. You cannot nominate your own Twitter feed.
8. You can nominate a feed in more than one category (e.g. if you think a tweeter is both “subversive” and “helpful” you can nominate them in both). This would only not be the case if a feed bears no relation to the category title (e.g. nominating a tweeter for “nursing” if their content was nothing to do with nursing). In the event of any confusion on this, the adjudicators will make a final decision.
9. Winners will be announced on Sunday 13th January.
what an awesome idea!
Fantastic idea! I will have a think about who to nominate. Are private Twitter accounts eligible?
Unfortunately I think since it’s a public event it should only be public Twitter accounts who are eligible.
After all, if it’s a private account they may not even want attention drawn to it.
Great idea! Are you sure we have to choose just 4? Because I follow 1500 people and every one of them for a particular reason….
I’d like to nominate @ermintrude2 who tweets about health and social care. Because she will take part in debates across the whole sector, with anyone who engages. The quality of the interactions show her to be a great listener- a great way to get fresh perspectives in her work. (Social work category)
I’d like to nominate @BPDFFS who leads the #BPDchats (with help from other great Tweeters) because she’s created a safe space for people who are excuisitely emotionally sensitive to talk about their Recovery. A huge achievement. (Recovery category)
I have lots more ideas for nominations- please can you let me know if it is a max of 4 before I post the others? Ta!
Yeah, it’s a max of 4, but only per category. You can nominate in as many categories as you like.
Just to experiment with the formats a little, I’ll make one other diversion from the TWIM Awards in that the same feed can be nominated in more than one category. So, if you think a tweeter is both “subversive” and “helpful” you can nominate them in both.
Ooooh, my laptop is currently functional, only problem is I love *all* the people I follow on twitter, and have no idea which category to place any of them in… I shall have a think about it.
I’m the same
This will take some careful thinking about. but just wanted to say well done Zarathustra for doing this 
Hey, nice idea! There are lots of mental health OT tweeters, what category would you include them in?
OT tweeters can be included under Professions Allied to Medicine.
I have to nominate some of the #OTalk team as professionals allied to medicine. @Clissa89 and @GillianCrossley joined the team in 2012, their graduation year. They’re both fantastic OTs and demonstrate how clinical leadership comes from throughout the profession. They engage widely on Twitter and join in lots of different chats.
I also want to mention @allisulli who is an American Tweeting OT who is a great mental health advocate and always Tweeting great thoughts and links about Mindfullness and OT.
Finally, I’ve got to mention @BillWongOT, who tweets during Tweetchats and is really hot on sensory activities. He’s got a fantastic Pinterest if anybody wants to follow up. Bill is the first person with an Aspergers diagnosis to be set to get an OT doctorate-fascinating and unique dual perspectives. I’d like to nominate him in the neurodiversity category, too, please.
I’d like to nominate @PatientOpinion in the patient experience category, because they have taken the idea of patient experience and used it to create a fantastic space for people’s voices and opinions. They are a social enterprise and I know the whole team is passionate about patients as part of the online gift economy that give Trusts such valuable gifts as their opinions about recent care.
I want to nominate @Amanda_Stand and @WayofRecovery in the recovery section. Amanda, because of her fab participation in #BPDchat, and Recovery for the inspiration that always resonates.
Loving this idea, we will help spread the word and would love to hear from tweeters and bloggers who might be interested in contributing to peer resources for our campaign about self-stigma.
I’m seconding ClaireOT above with the nomination of @BPDFFS in the Recovery Category.

Just realised I actually have five nominations for patient experience!
I need to add @amanda_stand too! Can I slip her in?
Just to add to your quandaries, I’m afraid I have to get all adjudicatey and say I don’t think we can consider @mentalhealthcop under PAMs as the police aren’t considered a profession allied to medicine. Is there anywhere else you’d like to squeeze him in?
Hmmmm… There’s no space unless I can swap @mentalhealth cop with @claireOT. Can she be allied to medicine?
Can I do that?
Yes, occupational therapy is a profession allied to medicine.
Just to clarify any confusion on what constitutes a profession allied to medicine, this refers to disciplines like occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dietiticians, speech and language therapists…..basically healthcare professions that aren’t doctors, nurses, dentists or pharmacists.
You’ve probably it elsewhere, but I was just thinking about the rationale for the name ‘professions allied to *medicine*’… Not being a massive fan of ‘medicalisation’ of mental health, I’m a teeny bit uncomfortable with the name… What about ‘allied to MH’ or something?
But as ever, awesome!
It’s not a piece of jargon I came up with, though “allied healthcare professions” is sometimes used interchangeably with “professions allied to medicine”.
It’s an umbrella term that’s widely used and understood within healthcare settings, but perhaps isn’t so obvious to someone who doesn’t work in that field, and that seems to have caused a certain amount of confusion here. But within mental health itself, the PAM/AHP that people are most likely to come into contact with are occupational therapists, hence why I’ve now swapped the category for OT.
My nominations are:

I’m afraid @Ermintrude2 and @victoriabetton aren’t in Professions Allied to Medicine, so I don’t think we can include them in that category.
@Ermintrude2 is a social worker. Did you want to nominate her under social work?
I will get back to you with the rest! Thanks so much to those who have nominated me – what a lovely feeling for my tweeting efforts to have been recognised.

I’ve just edited in a little bit of info on the page about what constitutes a Profession Allied to Medicine, as people seem to be getting a bit confused by that one.

Thanks for these, though there’s a couple I have to adjudicate on.
I’m afraid we can’t include @mentalhealthcop or @thesmallplaces in PAMs as police officers and university researchers aren’t professions allied to medicine. Do you want to include them in a different category?
Also, @thus_spake_z is not eligible in any categories as that’s me and I’m adjudicating.
Well I didn’t know where the hell to put the good Inspector Brown, just a stab, and @TheSmallPlaces to academic. As for you, get someone else to judge for a change

Thanks for these. I’m afraid we can only include a maximum of four nominations per category. Where you’ve gone over this number do you want us to accept the first four?
I’m afraid we also can’t accept @nurse_w_glasses, @pricemj1, @CarolineKin or Bluebellnurses in the PAM category as none of those are in professions allied to medicine. However, we could accept @nurse_w_glasses, @CarolineKin and @Bluebellnurses in Nursing, and @pricemj1 in psychology if you like. Do you want us to do that?
Yes go for it and my mistake for not reading property
I think the “Professions Allied to Medicine” category seems to be causing a lot of confusion as to what is or isn’t a PAM.
I think I might replace this with an OT category. as the bulk of PAMs in mental health are occupational therapists.
Quick question. Currently putting together my votes. I noticed that although a number of protected twitter accounts have been voted for, even though it says that only public twitter accounts are eligible. Can I check that this is definitely still the case?
(I’m sure it is, but as I’ve noticed some being voted for, I thought I’d check in case I missed something…) Ta.
Yes, that’s correct. Only public accounts are eligible.
That’s what I thought, just wanted to be sure, cheers

Am only just getting into twitter, so this is useful to see who are the people to follow!
Just to announce a small change to the categories.
“Professions Allied to Medicine” has been swapped for “occupational therapy”. This is because there was a considerable amount of confusion as to what is or isn’t a Profession Allied to Medicine, and because most of the valid nominations were for occupational therapists.
Previous nominations for OT tweeters in Professions Allied to Medicine will still be counted.

Hi can I add @TheRealSupermum to recovery please
You certainly can.
Woah. There are so many fab tweeters out there, it’s really difficult to limit it to just 4 in some categories! Writing this list has made me realise how fortunate I am to connect with so many interesting people

Hi. Has a part of this comment been chopped-off somehow?
Apart from feeling sorry for everyone having to count all these, when do we have to complete our nominations by? TY =)
13th January
I’ll be announcing the results on Sunday (yes, it’s me who has to count this lot!) so Saturday night really.

Thanks Pan!
One minor quibble. 0id is actually a nurse rather than a social worker. Do you want me to count your vote for him under nursing?
Voting is now closed. Thank you all for your participation.
