Ahead of AHP Support Workforce Awareness Week (26 to 30 October), the AHP Professional Body and Trade Union Support Worker Group is inviting Allied Health Profession (AHP) support workers from across the UK to complete a national survey. Your experiences and insights will help professional bodies and trade unions better understand the opportunities, challenges and development needs of the AHP support workforce. The findings will help inform future priorities for workforce support, education and career development across the AHP professions.

CAHPR is supported by 14 allied health professional bodies and exists to represent and grow AHP research, ensuring research is at the heart of AHP practice to optimise care. We are looking to establish new programmes of activity to reflect the needs of our community. We are interested in your opinion about the future work priorities and activities you think CAHPR should be engaged in. They have a short survey to collect your opinion.

If you graduated in 2025 and have now completed your first year in professional practice, the HCPC would like to hear from you. The Year in Registration Survey gathers feedback on the first-year experience of health and care professionals, helping identify ways to improve support for future learners and newly qualified registrants. The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete, all responses are anonymous, and participants will be entered into a draw to win a £100 Amazon voucher.

The National Centre for Creative Health (NCCH) is calling for submissions to the Creative Health Research Round-Up 2026 — the second edition of a report that's fast becoming a go-to evidence resource for the sector. We welcome a broad range of outputs, including peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, practice reports and evaluations, and grey literature such as policy papers, toolkits, mapping outputs, strategies, and more.

On 10 August 2026 Ipsos UK have invited a sample group of HCPC registrants across all professions to take part in a short survey to share their views. To make sure that Dramatherapy is adequately represented in the research and following support from the HCPC meets the needs of our profession, we encourage you to check your emails and take part in the survey if you've been invited before the deadline on 18 September 2026.

Designed specifically for Allied Health Professionals looking to explore the next stage of their career, the event will offer an inspiring and practical introduction to leadership in today’s NHS
