5) Role of the Allied Health Professionals

Some larger practices now have access to:

Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics, Speech and Language Therapy, Pharmacy, Chiropody/Podiatry 

In smaller practices these allied health professionals may be linked to the local community hospital or health clinic by direct referral from your GP or Nurse Practitioner.

Some AHP’s offer community rehabilitation for stroke patients following discharge home. For more information see topic 2 The Hospital team – Intermediate care
