Join the 'Coffee and Chat' event for Allied Health Professionals in Adult Social Care | Latest updates

Calling all Allied Health Professionals (AHPs)! Grab your coffee mugs and come join the Allied Health Professionals in Adult Social Care ‘Coffee and Chat’ Event. Collaborating with Skills for Care, The Northants AHP Faculty invites all AHPs working in social care to an online forum on Friday 9 September, between 10am and 11am.

All AHPs are welcome to attend the forum, where they will have the opportunity to discuss the issues that really matter, including discussions around: funding for CPD courses, widenings access to AHP careers, championing increased diversity of the AHP groups and colleagues’ health and wellbeing. Join conversations with fellow AHPs over your favourite mid-morning drink!

The Northants AHP Faculty’s goals for the forum are:

• To help facilitate evidence-guided collaboration between people working across the 15 allied health professions providers and Northamptonshire’s ICS.
• To improve communication between AHPs and all levels of the health and social care sector
• To raise the profile of AHPs, as well as their workforce, education, and training requirements

This forum is open to all AHP workers in social care and we are excited to have the opportunity to start the conversations about the issues important to you, so please do come along and drop in, even if it’s just for a few minutes between your appointments!

Got the kettle boiling? Join the conversation by following this MS Teams link at 10am on Friday 9 September 2022 (password: sKDQeq).
