Today is about highlighting the hard work by the entire allied health sector. Now more than ever, the importance of working together has been reinforced as our response to COVID-19 continues. All us deserve recognition today, COVID-19 or no COVID-19.

Allied health is a big sector, with significant potential and we want to continue highlighting as much of the good work as often as possible in the years to come. In particular this year, I’ve been speaking with a number of practitioners who’ve worked differently during COVID-19.

This year, I’ve been speaking with a number of practitioners who’ve worked differently during COVID-19 and under immense pressure. We’ve seen our laboratory scientists process more than one million COVID-19 tests...

While our dental staff have stepped into Community Based Assessment Centres to swab and process hundreds of people lining up for testing....

A significant number of private physiotherapy, chiropractic, and osteopathy providers closed their services during Level 4 to join the team of five million in pursuing prevention and protection.

COVID-19 has also given cause for new initiatives, such as the use of telehealth, to give patients a virtual experience in an environment where physical interaction was not always possible. Allied health professionals have risen to the challenge, embracing this new way of working

As we look ahead to the future of healthcare, the value of Allied Health is evident as they continue to provide services that prevent deterioration, sustain your health and wellbeing, and maintain your independence. In short you are awesome, thank you for all you do!!

For all of the amazing Occupational Therapists out there, thank you for what you on World Occupational Therapy Day! Occupation has no bounds which is why as a profession you fill such a needed role. Thank you again and I hope you all had a fantastic day!

Totally agree and support

Yup I reckon

Big shout out to my nursing colleagues on International Nurses Day. You are, have been, and will be critical to the health services our population needs. I have been in awe of your collective work over this COVID period. Thank you, and celebrate on your day!

Well worth a think of contextualising to our context

Time to pause, if only for a moment. To pause and acknowledge and celebrate the professional grouping that is Allied Health on International Allied Health Professions Day! An amazing, dedicated and professional group. I am so thankful for all you do!

I am very excited to announce our inaugural AH Summit supported by the NZ and Australian CAHPOs. Focus of the summit is on the value and utility of allied health. Looking forward to seeing you all online! health.govt.nz/about-ministry…

Highlighting the publication of the Clinical Rehabilitation Guidelines for Long COVID. My thanks for the focused team, and the Expert Advisory Group that kept us to task to ensure that this would be applicable in the Aotearoa New Zealand context: health.govt.nz/publication/cl…
