Call for all healthcare staff to be considered in policy
AHPF chair Ann Green said: “As the general election approaches, there is a risk that politicians will opts for the traditional narrative that the health service is staffed only by doctors and nurses.
“The Nuffield report is a timely and authoritative reminder that 173,000 registered allied health professionals, including physios, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists, are indispensable to integration and to person-centred, coordinated care.
“We look forward to gearing from policy makers their vision for how patients can continue to benefit from the expertise of the 12 allied health professions.”
