The second annual AHPs day takes place on Monday the 14th of October.

To celebrate the library service has put together a resource guide aimed at Allied Health Professionals with a wide variety of different resources to support clinical practice, education and research.

The  guide covers a selection of the different resources the library has to support AHPs in lots of different disciplines. In it you'll find links to electronic journals, databases, books and relevant organisations.

If you are a physiotherapist, OT, podiatrist, radiographer, speech therapist or one of the many other varieties of AHP, we hope you'll find it useful.
