🚨Calling health, social care & medical professionals🚨
We need to come together to challenge this absurd, discriminatory & damaging new ruling of criteria to be met in order to be referred for an autism assessment
Could our professional bodies provide support to reverse this?

I introduced myself as an AHP Faculty Integration Lead. Anyone interested in finding out more about AHP Faculties here is an explainer from Health Education England: https://www.hee.nhs.uk/our-work/allied-health-professions/enable-workforce/ahp-faculties
The AHP Faculty model provides the infrastructure to facilitate system-wide working between health and care providers and HEIs. There are many benefits of working in this way which include; ensuring AHP students have sufficient access to rich learning environments and creating sustainable and innovative recruitment and retention strategies to ensure our pipeline of AHP professionals continues to thrive and grow.
