The eye-catching artwork aims to shine a light on the role of AHPs and inspire people to consider career opportunities in the sector. The boards have been installed on busy corridors in The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton to allow patients to learn about the teams of people who support their treatment and recovery.

People can scan QR codes on the boards using their smart phones to access more information about each individual profession, staff personal stories and career paths, and AHP courses available to study at 海角直播.

Alison Kerr, AHP Workforce Strategic Lead and Therapeutic Radiographer for South Tees NHS Trust, said: 鈥淲e are delighted with the interactive boards. The collaboration between the trust and University has been fantastic and we have already received positive feedback from colleagues and members of the public.

鈥淧atients have been able to learn about the different roles of Allied Health Professionals and recognise the professionals who have treated them.鈥�

Allied Health Professionals are a diverse group of clinicians who deliver high-quality care to patients and clients across a wide range of care pathways and in a variety of different settings.

We are delighted with the interactive boards and hope they will inspire people to find out more and consider an AHP career.
