The experience and impact of remote service provision during COVID-19 to inform sustainable high-quality Allied Health Professions (AHP) service delivery models in NHS Grampian
People Involved
Project Description
Allied Health Professionals provide vital diagnostic, rehabilitative and preventive interventions to the population. AHPs in NHS Grampian embraced new ways of working in response to COVID-19, which included the rapid deployment of remote AHP service provision via telephone and online consultations.
We want to understand more about the way in which AHP services in NHS Grampian changed due to COVID-19, particularly in relation to digital solutions and how service users have responded to these, to learn about the strengths and limitations of these changes, and to inform future AHP service provision in the post COVID-19 era.
