The Chief Allied Health Professions Officer's (CAHPO) Awards 2021 will open on Thursday 20th May 2021 for all Allied Health Professionals (AHPs).

We are now in the fifth year of the awards. This is a unique opportunity for AHPs, either nominated by their peers or by themselves, to receive recognition for their personal contributions towards delivery of exceptional care for patients. We continue to be impressed and inspired by AHPs in practice for their dedication, innovation and leadership. The awards also promote adoption and dissemination of good practice been delivered by nominated AHPs and gives teams the chance to review their work and look at the impact they have made to services.

As the third largest workforce in the NHS, AHPs play an important role in the NHS and are vital to the delivery of the ambitions in the NHS Long Term Plan, the awards provide an opportunity to highlight the incredible work been carried out by AHPs.

For guidance on how to apply, there will be a webinar on Thursday 27th May at 12:00. Please join the webinar on the day via the Microsoft Teams joining link CAHPO Awards 2021 launch.
