Work Experience - Allied Health Professionals
​

Allied Health Professionals
Allied Health Professionals
We offer a range of placements within Allied Health Professions such as:
· Dietician
· Occupational Therapist
· Orthoptist
· Physiotherapist
· Podiatrist
· Orthotist
· Diagnostic Radiographer
 
Allied health professionals (AHPs) provide treatment and help rehabilitate adults and children who are ill, have disabilities or special needs, to live life as fully as possible.

They work across a wide range of different settings including the community, people’s homes and schools, as well as hospitals. They often work in the independent sector and for charities. Although they frequently work alongside doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, AHPs are making independent assessments and decisions about treatment.
​
As an AHP, it will be important that you can work well as part of a team and be able to make your own decisions based on the training and specialist expertise you have acquired. In the frontline of healthcare, all the allied health professions involve working directly with patients, usually one-to-one, but sometimes with groups of people who share similar health problems or issues.
 
As part of your placement, you may visit a variety of clinical settings such as wards, clinics, rehabilitation centres and the community.
