On 14 October, we'll be joining the 13 other Allied Health Professions (AHPs) to celebrate the 7th annual AHPs’ Day.
We encourage you to join in the celebrations on the day and throughout the week. As the third-largest clinical workforce in health and care, AHPs are crucial in supporting the NHS Long-Term Plan. AHPs' Day provides a platform for AHPs in England and worldwide to unite and highlight their significant contributions to care delivery.
Collaborations across services, organisations, regions, and nations enable us to achieve:
- Reinforced awareness about the vital roles of each of the individual Allied Health Professions
- Highlighting local service achievements and their profound influence on patient care and public health
- Collaborative efforts with other services and organisations for integrated working
- A showcase for those considering a career as an allied health professional
Quality and safety are the key themes for AHPs' Day 2024. This aligns with the AHP strategy for England (2022-2027): AHPs Deliver, which emphasises the importance of providing exceptional care to the people and communities we work alongside.
By delivering care that is not only safe and of high quality, but also grounded in research evidence and innovation, we can make a real difference. This approach helps us address health and care inequalities and is in perfect harmony with the aspirations of the ‘people first’ and ‘optimising care’ areas of focus within our AHP strategy.
Let’s embrace AHPs' Day 2024 as a celebration of these commitments.
The Chief Allied Health Professions Officer (CAHPO) will deliver a live address at 9.30am on 14 October 2024 - you can watch here.
Plans for CAHPO office celebrations and local events are being shared on the AHPs’ Day network on FutureNHS. To join the network and exchange ideas, email [email protected].
