Today is AHPs Day

October 14, 2022

Today (Friday 14 October) is Allied Health Professions (AHPs) Day! It’s the annual opportunity for AHPs and support workers to come together and celebrate being part of the AHP family.

AHP Day also serves as a platform to showcase some of the amazing work that happens by Allied Health Professions within the Trust and further afield.

Allied Health Professions are a group of healthcare professionals from 14 different professions, making up the third largest healthcare workforce.

Here at the Trust we employ 10 of the 14 professions which include diagnostic radiographers, speech and language therapists, operating department practitioners, dietitians, physiotherapists, orthotists, orthoptists, paramedics, podiatrists and occupational therapists. We do not currently employ osteopaths, music therapists, drama therapists or art therapists.

Today we share videos from James Severs Chief Allied Health Professional & Healthcare Scientist and Niamh Shankey, Physiotherapist and Desmond Conlon, ODP.
