holly dorning: allied health professionals - can we measure quality of care
DESCRIPTION
This presentation was delivered by Holly Dorning of the Nuffield Trust at the QualityWatch seminar: 'Allied health professionals: can we measure quality of care?' on 12 November 2014. Allied health professionals (AHPs) are a group of 12 distinct professions that form a critical part of health care. By 2013 AHPs had made up around 6% of the NHS workforce and accounted for an estimated £2bn of the NHS salary bill. The role that AHPs play in delivering care is likely to increase further into the future as the population ages and people live with more complex needs. Yet despite the size of the workforce and the broad scope of care, there is very little systematic information available to describe the quality of care delivered by AHPs.
