A Digital Framework for AHPs

Enabling Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) to use information and technology is one of 4 priorities in AHPs into Action.  NHS  England has now published A Digital Framework for Allied Health Professionals to support local services and AHPs to make that happens and works towards services that are both paper-free at the point of care and connected to other services and systems.

Under this framework

• AHPs are expected to “ensure that their continuous professional development (CPD) includes the development of digital literacies to support their current and future practice.”
• AHP leaders and managers are expected to “identify local education and training requirements for staff to support a digitally literate and empowered workforce.”
