Allied Health Professional QIPP Toolkits
The Strategic Health Authority Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) Leads for England have worked with NHS London to compile the AHP QIPP Toolkits.
The Toolkits were launched at the Kings Fund in London on March 19th.
AHPs include: physiotherapists, dieticians, podiatrists, speech and language therapists. These professionals have a dramatic impact on care for people with diabetes, cancer, musculoskeletal problems and stroke survivers and it is believed that in these areas focused discussion and planning can help improve patient care, whilst helping to make the £20 billion saving the NHS needs to realise by 2014.
These kits are designed to help commissioners design services that are of high quality whilst reducing cost.
