Allied health professionals

We have a large team of allied health professionals (AHPs) who are pivotal to patient care and a key part of our multidisciplinary teams. 

Our AHPs work across our hospitals, in patients' homes, and within the community, assessing, diagnosing, and treating people of all ages to enhance their health, well-being, and quality of life.

In one of these roles, you could be helping someone manage long-term pain, building their confidence to communicate, and supporting them to regain strength and independence.

At Mid Yorks we currently have 10 out of the 14 professions working across our Trust.

• Dietician
• Occupational therapist
• Operating department practitioner
• Orthoptist
• Osteopath
• Physiotherapist
• Podiatrist
• Prosthetist/orthotist
• Speech and language therapist
• Radiographer

Qualifications and entry routes

The education and training required to become an AHP depends on the profession, but all require at least a degree or higher level apprenticeship. Some of the professions allow you to start at clinical support worker level and work your way up.

You can find out more about each AHP role, the type of work involved and entry routes on the NHS Health Careers website.
