The Allied Health Professions Public Health Hub has been launched, bringing together public health strategies, toolkits, resources and case studies relevant to allied health professionals (AHPs).
Resources include:
- Toolkit to embed public health into clinical practice:
- Curricula guidance for AHP pre-registration education;
- Social prescribing framework for Allied Health Professionals;
- Public Health England’s All Our Health framework
- Everyday Interactions Toolkit.
“The purpose of the hub is to enable AHPs to easily locate and access the documents they need to embed public health into their roles, as well as support to lead service redesign and contribute to system leadership opportunities to improve the health and well-being of their local population,” Linda Hindle, lead allied health professional for Public Health England (PHE) said.
“I encourage all AHPs to check out the hub and submit examples from practice to enable ongoing sharing and learning about the AHP contribution to public health.”
The AHP Hub was developed through a collaboration between the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), PHE, the Chief Allied Health Professions Officers from across the UK, AHP professional bodies and AHPs4PH.
