Disappointing, ill-informed and poor reporting from the @DailyMailUK regarding the role of Registered Dietitians during Covid-19.
Hilighting the ongoing need for all #WeAHPs to stand together and advocate for our wonderful & invaluable professions π
#AHPs#WhatDietitiansDo
Do these dietitians look "opportunistic"? @cjsnowdon , were our members being "cynical" when they worked seven days a week to feed critically ill COVID-19 patients? @DailyMailUK retract this 'story' until you understand what dietitians do. dailymail.co.uk/news/articleβ¦
A huge congratulations to all you #AHPsActive@WeAHPs! You rose to the challenge, had amazing fun, and are the 2022 #WeActiveChallenge winners! ππ
Big well done to EVERYONE, weβre all winners: nurses, doctors, pharmacists, midwives, healthcare-managers & nursing associates π
We're the mystical unknown for the most part... but not today!
Today we celebrate US. Today we celebrate the Allied Health Professions.
And do you know why?
Because we are blooming brilliant and everyone needs to know!
#AHPsDay#AHPsDay2021
We know many of you are starting your #AHPsDay celebrations today.
Our theme this year is βAHPs in the right place, at the right time, with the right skillsβ.
π½οΈ Watch this video as we prepare to celebrate, share, learn, and inspire each other.
#AHPCommunity#AHPExcellence
For those #AHPs that get to have a bit of a break at the weekend - rest up, look after yourself, relax and unwind as much as you can.
This week has been tough and weβre super proud of our #AmazingAHPs - going above and beyond, connecting, sharing and supporting.
#WeAHPs
Why is the RCN negotiating in a silo from other HCPs and from AHPs? @WeAHPs look forward to a transparent response outlining those inter-professional discussions youβve had. Many thanks.

Whatever you are doing, tag us and use the hashtag #AHPsDay so we can celebrate with you πππ½

Short notice but such a hot topic that we didn't want to wait!
What are your thoughts/concerns? Let us know below β¬οΈβ¬οΈ
#WeAHPs
It's a misconception that leadership only comes with a formal 'role' or 'title' π―
The truth of the matter is that leadership doesn't mean power or trying to change the world...
It can be as simple as the things you do on a daily basis!
#WeStudentAHPs
π’ #AHPsACTIVE STARTS 1st AUGUST π
π¨ IMPORTANT: Due to the changes to Twitter we have been in discussion with @WeNurses. The tech used for the #WeActiveChallenge will not work to earn badges & tot up scores etcβ¦
βΌοΈ However! For many the challenge is more than a competitionβ¦
In honour of #AHPsDay we thought it might be a good time to re-cap the amazing professions that sit under the AHP umbrella!
The more we know about one another the better equipped we are to meet the needs of service users.
Excited to announce AHPs Creative, starting on 6th March! A self-care initiative aimed at fostering creativity in the Allied Health Professions.
Every day for ten days we will provide an easy, accessible prompt to get creative - join us by sharing your creations!
