30th March 2004 : Patient choice - the role
of Allied Healthcare Professionals (AHPs)
Chief health professions officer Kay East has
urged AHPs to consider redesigning services to
help give patients real choice over their treatment,
thereby improving the patient experience. If health
and social care is to become more responsive,
what information and support do people need to
make their own choices? AHPs need to think about
the changes that are needed in the system, how
people work or communicate to create choices and
make health and social care more responsive.
