AHP Services Data Definitions Guidance June 2015

Allied Health Professionals work with all age groups and conditions and are trained to assess, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate people with health and social care needs. They work in a range of settings including hospital, community, education, housing, independent and voluntary sectors.

This paper sets out the definitions and guidance necessary to ensure that there is a common and clear understanding of the maximum waiting time standard for Allied Health Profession (AHP) Services, as set out in the 2015/16 Ministerial Target. This updated guidance replaces the April 2011 AHP Definitions.
