The Allied Health Professions (AHP) community across the North East and North Cumbria are coming together to celebrate AHP Day and the unique contribution of AHP colleagues to health and care across our region.
It's an opportunity to meet as a wider community, learn more about each other's roles, fly the flag for AHPs and last but not least have some fun.
