AHP Contribution To Mental Health Rehabilitation

Closes 30 Mar 2026

Opened 4 Mar 2024

Overview

As part of an NHS England, Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) Fellowship we are exploring the contribution of Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) in Mental Health Rehabilitation Services nationally. We would like to understand the role AHPs play in Mental Health Rehabilitation and look to identify any opportunities to refine and optimise the role within these services and how they are delivered nationally. We are interested in exploring what “good” looks like and which elements contribute to particularly successful outcomes for rehabilitation services. This may include a number of partners, internal and external to the NHS.

Why your views matter

Your contribution will support the development of case studies and a national guideline that will demonstrate how the contribution of AHP’s can positively impact the outcomes for service users and mental health services; in collaboration with colleagues and key partners. The findings from this survey will be shared with respondents, and respondents will have the opportunity to be further involved with the project if they wish. Involvement in this work is entirely optional.

This survey is being circulated via Chief AHPs within mental health Trusts, and we would ask that completion and return is undertaken by the Chief AHP or appropriate nominated delegate.  

Before completing this questionnaire, it may be helpful to review the questions and collate the relevant information. Completion of the questionnaire should then only take approx.10-15 minutes. 

Should you have any questions regarding the questionnaire, please do not hesitate to contact elissa.peake@england.nhs.uk
