Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) can be great leaders...this is our opportunity to shine!
Visit 'Gwella' our Leadership Portal for Wales, providing access to a wide range of compassionate leadership, management and quality improvement resources.
For our AHPs who are working in, or aspiring to work in, leadership roles across clinical practice, education, policy/strategy and research, we have a dedicated AHP Leadership Network. This online hub draws together resources to support your early and ongoing development as an AHP leader.
Email HEIW.Alliedhealthprofessions@wales.nhs.uk to express your interest in joining the AHP Leadership Network.
In September 2021 we welcomed the first AHP Welsh Clinical Leadership Fellows (WCLTFs) Laura Braithwaite and Ross Nowell. Find out more about them and other WCLTFs across Wales.
Allied Health Professionals are natural leaders of rehabilitation and through their expertise, resourcefulness and solutions-based approach, Wales can develop the very best rehabilitation services in the world.
Rehabilitation, reablement and recovery can take place in a variety of settings and will shift from restorative to compensatory and adaptive approaches over time.
With partners across Wales, we have developed a resource based on the principles of the rehabilitation guidance and framework published by Welsh Government in 2020.
Our ‘Rehabilitation is everybody’s business’ resource is designed to help health and social care professionals to work together in a systems-wide approach to supporting people with rehabilitation needs; whenever and wherever they meet them.
Allied Health Professionals’ expertise is currently under-utilised in prevention, public health and primary care settings, where they can help us deliver the vision of enabling people to reduce their risk of developing avoidable health conditions and live as independently as possible for as long as possible.
