What is an AHP Careers Fellowship?

Funded by NHS Education for Scotland (NES), the Allied Health Professions (AHP) Careers Fellowship Scheme supports career development for the AHP workforce in the public health and social care sector in Scotland.  

It does this by funding AHP staff to:

Participate in a learning programme delivered by NHS Education for Scotland and appointed facilitators
Lead and deliver a work-based project over 10- 12 months to improve, change or develop AHP services. This can be team, service, locality, organisation or region based. We will also consider national projects.

For further information about the Fellowship including who can apply, the application process, and details of previous fellows’ work-based projects, visit the AHP Careers Fellowship site on Turas Learn.
