Allied Health Professionals Day – 14th October, 2020

In celebration of National AHP Day, our Trust have organised a fun-filled, information-packed Allied Health Professionals Week, which will run through 12-18 October.

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