Are you our new Informatics lead?
The National AHP
Informatics Strategic Taskforce is a group that has 3 meeting per year.
Suzanne Rastrick Chief AHP officer is current chair and the group is
represented by all AHP professional bodies as well as NHS England, NHS
Scotland, NHS Wales and agencies involved in informatics. The aim of the
group is to develop quality data on AHP input and subsequent outcomes related
to AHP interventions in health and care services. BAPO has been
represented in the initial formation of the group but we feel an Informatics
Lead is needed to continue this essential work. The Lead will be
responsible for
·
Representing
the association by attending NAHPIST meetings and collate good examples of the
use of informatics in integrated care settings
·
Developing
Prosthetic & Orthotic specific definitions for findings/assessment,
diagnosis, interventions, and outcomes
·
Specifying
information requirements for Prosthetics & Orthotics
·
Developing
guidance for practitioners
If you are
interested in driving this work forward and promoting the essential work of
Prosthetists and Orthotists, please contact the secretariat. All relevant
expenses will be reimbursed and you will receive the support from members of
the Executive committee.
