Council for Allied Health Professions Research

The CSP wishes to commission a review of the physiotherapy workforce.

We would like to say thank you to the AHPs across the UK who contributed to the recent CAHPR survey, capturing your views on what is needed from an AHP research support network. Over 1,000 AHPs responded representing all the allied health professions and clinical, researcher, academic and managerial roles.

CAHPR hubs in Oxfordshire and East Anglia have announced exciting online events to support AHP research this Spring

We would like to hear your views on what is needed from an AHP research support network

The motivation for Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) to become active in research has never been so strong. Engagement in research enables AHPs to lead research which impacts clinical practice and improves patient care.

Congratulations to the The Rapid Response Children's Physiotherapy Team at Lincolnshire Community Health Services for winning this year’s CAHPR Award for Evaluating Health & Social Care Practice at the Advancing Healthcare Awards 2020. 

This is a fantastic example of strong evaluation leading to a fully commissioned service with a sustainable future. It shows how to take healthcare to the community and focus on long-term management of patients alongside a rapid response service. Its co-produced and co-designed; transferable and scalable.

As Dr Rachel Harris' four year tenure as Chair of the CAHPR Strategy committee comes to an end CAHPR welcomes the successor Prof Dawn Carnes. 

Our ambition is to create a unique ‘eco-system’ of research and clinical skills that is specifically designed to support AHP research activity in the Greater Manchester area.
