Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Occupational Health and Ergonomics

ACPOHE  is an integral part of Physiotherapy UK 2019, the flagship conference for physiotherapy professionals, being held at the Birmingham ICC between 1st & 2nd November 2019.  ACPOHE were asked to facilitate  the theme of Fit for Work for and were delighted to do so.

One priority of ACPOHE is to recommend minimum terms and conditions of employment of its members working in occupational health or ergonomics, be they working on a full or part-time basis. ACPOHE also gives guidance to those members who are self-employed. A review of this document is undertaken annually in conjunction with the CSP and the latest update is now available to view.  Follow the link.......

The Government has published Health is everyone’s business, a public consultation seeking views on different ways in which government and employers can take action to reduce ill health-related job loss.

ACPOHE has been approached by the event organisers off the Health and Wellbeing At Work to see if any of our members would be interested in presenting at the very popular H&WB@Work 2020

Our committee has been working really hard to clarify the government’s position on the taxable status of OH Physiotherapy services. 

Over the next five years, physiotherapists and other AHPs (Allied Health Professionals) need to develop their skills, demonstrate their impact and raise their profile as public health experts. This is according to the UK AHP Public Health Strategy 2019-2024, published on 8th May by the AHP Federation.  Follow links to see the stratergy.

We welcome this month’s publication of the NHS Long Term Plan. It provides explicit recognition that the performance of any healthcare system depends upon its staff, the conditions under which they work and the support given to them in the workplace.
