As the third-largest clinical workforce within the health and care, allied health professions (AHPs) play a pivotal role in supporting the NHS Long Term Plan. AHPs day is an annual occasion for AHPs in England and now internationally to unite and revel in their contribution.

To celebrate AHPs Day we have broadcast this special episode of The Handover recorded at NCH&C's very first Allied Health Professionals conference held earlier this year. The theme was 'Bringing AHPs together' and we talked to colleagues about what they felt they had learned from the day, and what they feel they could take from getting together and understanding more about the diverse AHP roles across the Trust.
