At HEIW, we lead the Allied Health Professions (AHP) programme in Wales.

The programme has been set up to implement the 10-year vision described in the Allied Health Professions Framework: Looking Forward Together (2019). That vision is:

Purpose

The programme is supported by:

• the ‘whole systems’ approach based within A Healthier Wales (2018)
• the person-centred symptom-based approach in the National Clinical Framework (2021)
• and the seven themes of the Workforce Strategy for Health and Social Care (2020).

The purpose of the programme is to:

• raise awareness about the vital contribution AHPs make to health and social care in Wales
• highlight our diverse and rewarding career opportunities
• empower us to lead the future of person-centred, multi-professional practice.
