During this event, you will be introduced to key members of our allied health professions research community. We will update you on new innovations and directions as we continue to grow. By the end of the conference, we hope that you will feel informed about the direction of allied health research, where it fits within the wider context of the health and social professions and how you can benefit by getting involved. This event is open to anyone with an interest in allied health research - clinicians, educators, researchers and any other interested parties.
CAHPR is the community for AHP research. It is a network of volunteers that promote and support AHP research at every level. We work closely with our stakeholders and other research groups to encourage all AHPs to take an interest in research activities. Please register to join and we'll send you a meeting link in the week before the meeting.
