Competencies for Allied Health professionals

A project in Western Australia has aimed to develop a competency framework for senior level AHPs across a core of allied health professions in remote and rural areas. The team has recently published their work in the Journal of Rural and Remote Health under the title: Developing competencies for remote and rural senior allied health professionals in Western Australia.
The disciplines of audiology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology, social work, podiatry and dietetics were examined and a competency tool was developed, designed to support a range of life-long learning strategies.
