Extended roles for allied health professionals in the NHS

Résumé du livre

Within the UK, efforts to modernise the health service include a specific focus on reconsidering the roles of non-medical members of the health care team. This report details a research project utilising systematic review methods to elicit and critique published and unpublished literature about extended scope practice (ESP) in five allied health profession (AHP) groups. The main aim of this review was to identify, appraise and summarise extended scope of practice in five allied health professional groups, thereby consolidating the evidence base for such innovations.
