AHP Song: Inspiring Future Healthcare Heroes! 

# data[].attributes.body
We’re thrilled to share the AHP Song, a creative and collaborative initiative developed by AHPs at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with local universities, charities, and schools.

Designed to introduce the 14 AHP professions to primary school-aged children, the song uses music, movement, and animation to spark curiosity and raise awareness of the diverse roles AHPs play in health and care.

Our goal? To make the AHP Song a widely used educational tool that inspires the next generation of healthcare professionals year on year.

Use it in careers resources, newsletters, and events. Encourage schools to explore the accompanying lyrics and sheet music, available via the YouTube description or under “AHP Resources” on the CPFT website.

This webpage provides insights and information about how we are embracing and implementing enhanced practice for Allied Health Professions (AHPs) across England.

Overview

Supporting the priorities outlined in the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (2023), NHS England has now launched Enhanced Clinical Practitioner apprenticeships which provides an accredited career pathway for 10 AHPs.

Professionals will access the apprenticeship to train to deliver a high standard of complex, enhanced care for patients, using enhanced levels of clinical judgement, skills and knowledge across four areas of practice; clinical, leadership and management, education and research.

The AHPs who can now access the Enhanced Clinical Practitioner apprenticeship are:

1. Occupational therapists

2. Operating department practitioners

3. Osteopaths

4. Paramedics

5. Physiotherapists

6. Podiatrists

7. Prosthetists and orthotists

8. Diagnostic radiographers

9. Therapeutic radiographers

10.  Dietitians

There is ongoing work to build other professions into the apprenticeship framework.

Schemas and model curricula

All 10 AHP enhanced clinical practice apprenticeships schemas and model curricula have now been combined and available on:

The schemas and model curricula provided are for use by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to support the development of profession-specific approved programmes within their institution. They aim to increase the scope of the delivery of the Enhanced Clinical Practitioner apprenticeship and to elevate those professions where there is less accredited training available at this level of practice. They are intended to sit alongside and inform other Enhanced Level Practice education and training programmes that exist currently or that are developed in the future.

NHS England has also published an HEI guide to enhanced clinical practitioner apprenticeship for AHPs which includes an FAQ.

All schemas have been developed in innovation partnerships including education providers, professional bodies and stakeholders across health and social care, and were developed separately, by nationally commissioned organisations. For this reason, there is some variation in the structure and format of the different schemas, but they all provide comprehensive information tailored to the specific AHPs.

To find out more about how the schemas were developed, Ruth Mhlanga, Professions Lead for AHPs at South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, delves into the benefits of the Enhanced Clinical Practitioner apprenticeships, offering solution-driven prospects for AHPs and employers. Ruth also shares her pivotal role in tailoring the schemas to meet the population's needs. Watch more below:

The revised AHP virtual work experience program hosted by Springpod is now live.  This 8 hour program is freely available to anyone living in the Soth East of England. The aim is to improve awareness of the 15 different AHP professions and demonstrate the different educational routes into these professions, including Apprenticeships. This has been a collaboration across with 6 AHP faculties and reviewed and revised by Buckinghamshire Health and Social Care academy. This piece of work aligns with  the LTWP by enabling widening participants and increasing the exposure of Health Careers.

One of the key changes is we have added a module about apprenticeships, and we have x3 lived experiences of a Podiatrist, ODP and TRAD apprentices talking about their learner journey.

It is inclusive and reflects how AHPs work in multidisciplinary teams, so that those who identify as part of the AHP community working in a variety of health and care sectors can use it to continually improve and redesign services."

New guidance, Education for sustainable healthcare within UK pre-registration curricula for allied health professions , sets the groundwork for the next generation of health and care professionals. It will support future AHPs to understand the relationship between health and the environment, to deliver sustainable healthcare and be advocates for environmental sustainability.

This guidance was produced in collaboration with an advisory group across the four United Kingdom (UK) home nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It was developed jointly with parties with a direct interest in the development and provision of AHP curricula, including NHS England, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Health Education Improvement Wales (HEIW), Public Health Agency Northern Ireland, AHP Professional Bodies, the Health and Care Professions Council, the Council of Deans of Health, and student representation from the #150 Leaders Student Leadership Programme alumni.

NHS England South East: supporting internationally recruited radiographers’ E-learning package

# data[].attributes.body
‘NHS England South East: supporting internationally recruited radiographers’ E-learning package is now freely available on the Learning hub.

This programme of work is in line with the NHS England workforce, training & education (WT&E) directorate in the South East AHP vision ‘To deliver an effective supply of AHPs, ensuring robust deployment and development of staff, whilst placing a focus on the retention, diversity & inclusion of the workforce, across professions and geography, to ensure the South East has the right workforce with the right skills in the right place to deliver high quality care.’

This project was a partnership between NHSE WT&E South East AHP team and Plymouth Marjon University. Stakeholder engagement and involvement was present from Radiographer service leads, local universities delivering diagnostic radiography programmes and the professional body. The e-learning package has been piloted with two cohorts of international recruited diagnostic radiographers and feedback has been used to make changes to the learning package.

Learning outcomes of the e-learning package:

1. The new recruits should know what to expect in terms of language and communication and challenges related to integration in the workplace when they start work within their departments;

2. The new recruits will have an improved level of awareness of the challenges ahead especially in language and communication;

3. They will have an enhanced ability to deal practically with professional challenges relating to language and challenges within the workplace;

4. Team leaders and management teams will have an appreciation of the challenges facing the new recruits, and an awareness of how to help

"Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) are partnerships of organisations that come together to plan and deliver joined up health and care services, to improve the lives of people who live and work in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire West and Oxfordshire".  You can find out more about joined-up working by clicking on the link below (This information is taken from this website):
BOB Integrated Care System

"Each Integrated Care System has two core parts: an Integrated Care Board (ICB) and an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP).

an Integrated Care Board (ICB) is a statutory NHS organisation that decides how to spend the NHS budget and plans how to improve people’s health, deliver high-quality care and get better value for money.

an Integrated Care Partnership (ICP) is a statutory committee that brings the NHS together with local authorities and other key partners, to develop the overall strategy to improve health and wellbeing.

NHS trusts are also already coming together as “provider collaboratives”, new partnerships between hospitals, mental health services and community services."
