Allied Health Professions (AHP) Workforce Development Plan

According to the Science Evidence Advice Report: NHS Ten Years Plus, Wales faces some of the most significant population health challenges over the next ten years. This includes a growing, ageing population who will be living longer with multi-morbidities, including mental health conditions, diabetes, and cancer. The allied health professions (AHP) workforce is already integral, operating across primary and secondary NHS services, social care, and third sectors, and is well-equipped to meet these challenges head-on.

We have developed the Allied Health Professions (AHP) Workforce Development Plan to address current and future AHP workforce challenges with clear timelines and deliverables over the next two years. By implementing this plan, the AHP workforce can meet the changing health needs of the future population through transformation, ensuring high-quality patient outcomes and enabling individuals to live healthier lives for longer.
