Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) are found throughout the NHS carrying out a variety of crucial health care roles.
AHP is the collective term for highly qualified staff including podiatrists, dietitians, occupational therapists, paramedics, physiotherapists, radiographers and speech and language therapists.
