AHP Critical Care Capability Framework

The Allied Health Professions Critical Care Capability framework has been developed to highlight the experience, expertise and contributions of dietitians, occupational therapists, operating department practitioners, physiotherapists and speech and language therapists in intensive care.

It aims to define a nationally recognised standard, that highlights the unique experience, expertise and contributions of these five AHP professions in adult critical care across the patient pathway and as part of a multi-professional team.

AHP HEI toolkit

We have published a toolkit to enable the integration of the AHP Critical Care Capability Framework into existing multi-professional programmes of post-graduate education.

This resource is designed for any region or institution delivering a Post graduate certificate for a nursing cohort, and is applicable across the UK. 

It may also be used by critical care managers, clinical leaders, educators, or staff aiming to deliver post graduate education to AHPs in critical care.
