Disappointing, ill-informed and poor reporting from the

Hilighting the ongoing need for all

#AHPs
#WhatDietitiansDo
Do these dietitians look "opportunistic"?
@cjsnowdon
, were our members being "cynical" when they worked seven days a week to feed critically ill COVID-19 patients?
@DailyMailUK
retract this 'story' until you understand what dietitians do.
A huge congratulations to all you
#AHPsActive
@WeAHPs
! You rose to the challenge, had amazing fun, and are the 2022
#WeActiveChallenge

Big well done to EVERYONE, weโre all winners: nurses, doctors, pharmacists, midwives, healthcare-managers & nursing associates ๐
We're the mystical unknown for the most part... but not today!
Today we celebrate US. Today we celebrate the Allied Health Professions.
And do you know why?
Because we are blooming brilliant and everyone needs to know!

What are your thoughts/concerns? Let us know below โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
#WeAHPs
It's a misconception that leadership only comes with a formal 'role' or 'title' ๐ฏ
The truth of the matter is that leadership doesn't mean power or trying to change the world...
It can be as simple as the things you do on a daily basis!
#WeStudentAHPs
In honour of
#AHPsDay
we thought it might be a good time to re-cap the amazing professions that sit under the AHP umbrella!
The more we know about one another the better equipped we are to meet the needs of service users.
Excited to announce AHPs Creative, starting on 6th March! A self-care initiative aimed at fostering creativity in the Allied Health Professions.
Every day for ten days we will provide an easy, accessible prompt to get creative - join us by sharing your creations!
