Supporting International Recruitment of AHP’s

Health Education England exists to support the delivery of excellent healthcare and health improvement to the patients and public of England. They ensure the workforce of today and tomorrow has the right skills, values, and behaviours at the right time and right place. An essential element of this is to ensure an effective supply of AHP’s, supporting robust deployment and development of staff, whilst supporting retention across professions and geography.

Recruitment of well trained and committed internationally educated AHP’s with an ethical and sustainable approach, can increase entry routes into healthcare, and provide a wealth of experience and diversity to our workforce. 

HEE aims to support employers to better understand the processes and potential of AHP international recruitment, as well as supporting the recruits themselves to adapt and flourish in our health services. These resources highlight a wealth of information and experience from across the NHS demonstrating the potential for a sustainable approach to AHP international recruitment.

AHP international Recruitment going forward

From 2022/23 there will be a national programme running aimed to support NHS Trusts who are keen to start or expand their AHP international recruitment offer. If you have queries regarding this please email: england.workforce@nhs.net
