Council for Allied Health Professions Research

NI AHPs have got together with a collective of local music artists who have recorded a message of hope to show their support in the fight against COVID-19 and help fundraising efforts for life-changing research for survivors of coronavirus COVID-19. 

CAHPR is a partner for the Stroke Association/James Lind Alliance Stroke Priority Setting Partnership (PSP). Since the beginning of March, PSP has gathered the voices of people across the UK to find out what research can make the biggest difference to the lives of those affected by stroke.

An app to self-report symptoms has been designed by researchers in London to help identify those at high risk, who is most at risk and local spread of the virus.

The Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 has been put on hold in recognition of staff being needed in critical areas. 

We are beginning to see the impact of COVID-19 on the research community. Research studies are being delayed or are needing to adjust protocols etc. Many funders and sponsors are sympathetic to the situation and guidance has been issued from major research governance/funding bodies on this. 

The vision of CAHPR is directly aligned with our overarching career aims – to improve quality of care & clinical and cost effectiveness of care, while at the same time facilitating AHP’s to generate, disseminate and implement research
