Other roles that have been added include:
occupational therapists
psychologists
radiographers
speech and language therapists
all social workers.

This interactive guide describes the common features of the AHP leadership journey, by combining insights and evidence from trust chief executives and chief AHPs. Its primary audience is aspiring AHP leaders and those with responsibility for developing the AHP workforce. It will also interest trust boards, commissioners and other system leaders, keen to recognise the AHPs’ potential for leading and delivery transformation across the health and care infrastructure.
West London NHS Trust had very high vacancy rates for allied health professionals (AHPs) in January 2016, and so developed a strategy to retain more AHPs and close the vacancy gap long-term. When developing their strategy they looked at their own data and engaged with staff to find out more about why they leave.
The collaborative aims to enable AHPs to lead improvement work across multiple disciplines and agencies, bringing a new perspective and focus to delivering solutions. Participants also had the opportunity to develop transferable skills in quality improvement.
This resource demonstrates the value and impact AHPs have on patient flow and shows examples of how trusts have staged interventions to reduce avoidable hospital admissions, patient length of stay and promote a home first approach.
Health Education England (HEE) is running an allied health professionals (AHPs) online recruitment event for school-age students.
Starting at 10am on Wednesday 26 June, WOW Show Live will provide an opportunity for pupils to hear from AHPs about their careers, and offer information on the various pathways to a rewarding career in the NHS.
