Allied Health Professions National Delivery Plan 2012-2015 - Progress Report

Infrastructure, Monitoring & Reporting

The progress and impact of the NDP are reported directly through the Chief Health Professions Officer (CHPO) to the Minister of Public Health. The national activity is coordinated by the AHP NDP Programme Manager and supported by the AHP NDP Coordinating Group. This group includes the AHP Associate Directors and the National Workstream Leads. Through the Associate Directors for Scotland Group (ADSG), local progress and impact from across the board areas is shared and reported.

Activity across each of the twenty seven actions has been ongoing since the launch of the document in June 2012. This has incorporated a phased approach in regard to the expected completion date of each of the twenty seven actions. (Appendix 2).

To ensure consistency across all Health and Social Care Boards, progress is reported using the AHP NDP monitoring and reporting toolkit. Biannually, each board is required to self- assess themselves against the metrics for each NDP action.
