What is the AHP Faculty?
The Nottinghamshire Allied Health Professions (AHP) Faculty is a group of health, social care, education and training providers that formally work together across the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System (ICS). The AHP Faculty reports to the ICS AHP Cabinet.
