Pupils become AHPs in training

To inspire the future generations of Allied Health Professionals, our AHP team has been busy visiting schools and showcasing career opportunities at the Liverpool City Region Skills Show.

At the exhibition this month, the team highlighted the role of AHPs at LUHFT and demonstrated key therapy equipment through hands-on activities to attendees looking for career and apprenticeship opportunities in our community.

Additionally, Danielle Brayford, Occupational Therapist, and Rachael Roberts, Physiotherapist, went to Bishop Martin Primary School to teach the children about the different roles and how AHPs treat and support our patients.

Danielle said: “We had a lot of schools and colleges asking us to visit during AHP Day in 2021, but we couldn’t see them all, so it was great to be able to visit the children this year and help to teach them about what we do.

“The pupils loved trying the mini versions of our uniforms, walking aids and stethoscopes – it gave them a feel for the equipment we work with.”
