Allied Health Professionals strategy

Allied Health Professionals are the third largest workforce in the NHS. They practise in most clinical pathways and work across organisational boundaries at all stages of the pathway, providing solution-focused, goal-centred care to support patients’ aims, independence, and autonomy.

In Oxford Health we have nine of the fourteen professional groups practising across physical health, mental health and learning disability services.

Foundation

The Oxford Health Allied Health Professionals Strategy was co-produced with Allied Health Professionals attending the 2022 AHPs Day celebration.

Participants were asked to work through a series of questions, considering the national AHPs Deliver Strategy, health inequalities, their local knowledge of services and populations, and their areas of work.

Our vision

• Allied Health Professionals in Oxford Health are at the forefront of developing and delivering high quality, effective clinical services; demonstrating outcomes, impact, and sustainability.

• Allied Health Professionals have opportunities to develop themselves and their career pathway.

• Allied Health Professionals understand and actively contribute to reducing health inequalities and are committed to an anti-discriminatory, anti-racist culture, striving to create a fair and safe place to work.

• Allied Health Professionals will ensure that co-production and social justice is at the centre of their work.
