Even though this is an NHS England research project, we’d encourage any current students in Wales to participate in this study by completing the short survey about why you’ve chosen to train as an AHP

[NHS England Workforce, Training and Education @NHSE_WTE]

Calling all AHPs! We want to know why you chose your course, what influenced you, motivated you! So we can grow the AHP workforce >> complete the survey >> https://t.co/SztfwB3pCX
