World Allied Health Professionals (AHP) Day is an opportunity for us to reflect on the vital role AHPs play in delivering safe, high-quality care across Nuffield Health. This year’s theme, Quality and Safety, highlights the ongoing effort our AHPs make to driving excellence in healthcare; whether through the work of physiotherapists, radiographers, operating department practitioners and biomedical scientists; our AHPs are key to improving patient outcomes across all our clinical setting. While we're celebrating our AHPs today, we are thrilled to recognise the achievement of Stephen Walton from Newcastle Hospital, who recently became our first-ever homegrown Registered Operating Department Practitioner. His journey demonstrates the value of education and level of support within our AHP community! Ste has been on an amazing journey and is thrilled (as are we!) to gain his ODP Degree along with his HCPC registration. Well done and congratulations! Interested in following in Steven's footsteps?

64% of disabled teenage girls don't engage in sport or exercise regularly, and this needs to change. We've been working on a collaborative research project with Access Sport, the The Sweaty Betty Foundation and Women in Sport, to shed light on the untold struggles of disabled teenage girls when accessing sport and exercise. At the launch of the research at our Barbican Support Centre, our Charity and Medical Director, Dr Davina Deniszczyc said: "This research provides valuable data to help us understand and identify the barriers teenage girls and disabled teenage girls face when accessing physical activity and sport. "Critically, we need deeper insight into the experiences disabled girls face to ensure they aren’t excluded or miss out on all the benefits that sport and physical activity brings. "Our ambition is that this data and these valuable partnerships will help build more inclusive programmes and initiatives that will improve the health of disabled girls and allow them to be more active."
