The impact report of the UK Allied Health Professionals (AHP) Public Health Strategic Framework (2019-2024) demonstrates the significant progress made by the AHP community to embed public health into practice.
The 2019-24 UK AHP Public Health Strategic Framework was the first example of a collaborative four nation professional approach to public health for allied health professionals. It was developed by the UK nations and the AHP professional bodies to provide a vision and plan to develop the AHP role in public health, build on the evidence base, and embed the principles of public health across the AHP workforce.
Our vision for the 2019-2024 strategy was for AHPs to improve population health; public health to be a core element of all AHP roles; and the impact of AHPs on the population’s health and reducing health inequalities to be increasingly recognised.
