The NHS define their multi-disciplinary approach as “Through Adopting an holistic approach to healthcare, AHPs are able to help manage patients’ care throughout the life course from birth to palliative care. Their focus is on prevention and improvement of health and wellbeing to maximise the potential for individuals to live full and active lives within their family circles, social networks, education/training and the workplace.”
Emma, Physiotherapist
This year’s theme for the day is ‘AHPs in the right place, at the right time, with the right skills’ our newly built Wellbeing Centre is the perfect setting to be able to deliver this care and support, as well as our Art Therapy Room at the Well; both which provide a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
