CAHPR origins

The Council for Allied Health Professions Research launched in November 2014.

CAHPR was formed from the Research Forum for Allied Health (RFAHP) and the Allied Health Professions Research Network (AHPRN). 

The RFAHP was established in November 2000, supported by the AHP federation, as a UK-wide organisation with representatives from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The AHPRN was formed in 2011, in response to other AHPs interest in joining the existing National Physiotherapy Research Network (NPRN). Its vision was to create a network of nationwide hubs with expertise in facilitating research.
