Research developments within the Allied Health Professions Research Network (AHPRN)
The Allied Health Professions Research Network (AHPRN) is a UK-wide body designed to bring together clinicians, researchers, academic staff and other interested parties from all of the allied health professions (AHP) to explore different issues in research, including: practical challenges in research, methodological questions, grant funding, research career development, and many other areas. You can find your nearest hub by going to their website: www.csp.org.uk/professional-union/research/networking/allied-health-professions-research-network or alternatively, type AHPRN in a search engine and follow the links.
The College of Paramedics is a member of this network and the Research and Development Advisory Committee (RDAC) is starting to receive reports from members around the UK, highlighting that links with the AHPRN are starting to grow and strengthen, which is good news. At the same time, there have been a couple of comments that the AHPRN appears more geared up to physiotherapists rather than other AHPs. This article provides an opportunity to put that into context and hopefully encourage you to engage with your local AHPRN hub, as they are very keen to hear from members of the College of Paramedics. So what is the history of the development of the AHPRN?
