What's involved?

Do you want to inspire your students to think about a career in the NHS?

Allied health professionals (AHPs) play a crucial role in helping patients live life as fully as possible. There are many different AHP careers; they work as a part of the core team in emergency response and diagnosis for mental and physical rehabilitation. The fourteen allied health professions are:

  1. Art therapists
  2. Dietitians
  3. Drama therapists
  4. Music therapists
  5. Occupational therapists
  6. Operating department practitioners
  7. Orthoptists
  8. Osteopaths
  9. Paramedics
  10. Physiotherapists
  11. Podiatrists
  12. Prosthetists and orthotists
  13. Radiographers
  14. Speech and language therapists

At the workshop students will:

  • Take part in interactive activities and learn about what it's like to work in the NHS
  • Learn about different careers available, and how they could start out their NHS career
