What is Allied Health?
Allied Health is a term used to describe the broad range of health professionals who are not doctors, dentists or nurses. Allied health professionals aim to prevent, diagnose and treat a range of conditions and illnesses, and often work within a ultidisciplinary health team to provide the best patient outcomes.
