Building a Sustainable Allied Health Workforce: Recruitment, Retention, and Resilience

The Allied Health Professions (AHPs) provide specialist emergency, diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitative services that help people and whole communities from birth to end of life. AHPs make up a large proportion of the international health workforce, yet their vital contribution is too often marginalized in a public discourse that tends to refer only to "doctors and nurses." As a result, the focus on prevention and rehabilitation is also less well understood by patients and the public who focus on hospital-based, acute medical care. Further research is needed to inform policy and practice in sustaining the whole AHP workforce including assistant practitioners and support staff.
