Allied Health Professionals Day

In celebration of National AHP Day on 14 October, we have organised an information-packed Allied Health Professionals Week, which will run through to 22nd Oct.

As part of this week, we are hosting a number of virtual events and sharing content to introduce you to our AHPs and what they do.
