GM AHP Leadership

The GM AHP leadership and productivity task and finish group had identified the need to address the representation of AHP’s in leadership positions across Greater Manchester and this programme explored priority for Greater Manchester. 

AHP’s form the third largest staff group in the NHS and are significantly underrepresented within the leadership structure of NHS organisations. ‘AHPs into action’ a previous NHS Improvement report published in January 2017, outlined the specific transformative potential of AHPs in health, care and wellbeing in England, recognising that ‘AHPs can lead change’. Their diversity of skills covering 14 professions and breadth of practice experience, often bridging acute, community, and mental health made them ‘vital at a senior decision-making level’.   

Effective AHP contribution to service transformation and delivery, whilst maintaining highest quality care is a priority in delivering the greatest and fastest possible improvement to the health and wellbeing of the service users of Greater Manchester.

This platform is for the use of the AHP Community of Practice to share resources and network for each other for improvement on leadership opportunities of AHPs
