The British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ) acknowledges the government’s recent announcement regarding the abolition of NHS England. While we recognise the need for strategic reform within the healthcare system, it is essential that this transition does not overshadow the importance of supporting smaller yet vital allied health professions, including the prosthetic and orthotic workforce. Ensuring the continued expansion and development of these professions across the NHS must remain a priority.

Alongside other professional bodies, ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ is deeply concerned about the lack of clarity and engagement with affected staff throughout this decision-making process. We strongly advocate for a transparent and collaborative approach, ensuring that any restructuring of the NHS is undertaken in meaningful partnership with professional organisations representing the healthcare workforce.

The NHS’s ability to address its growing challenges depends on sustained investment in the clinical workforce. NHS England has played a crucial role in funding initiatives that support the growth and development of the prosthetic and orthotic workforce, helping to meet the increasing demand for these essential services. It is imperative that this collaborative approach continues, drawing on the expertise of those who understand the allied health landscape to effectively tackle workforce shortages and retention challenges.

Additionally, ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ urges the government to consider the impact of this reorganisation on the level of care and funding for prosthetic and orthotic services and patients. The removal of NHS England puts some centrally funded prosthetic and orthotic technology at risk. We call on the government to ensure that any changes do not disrupt service user care.

As these structural changes unfold, minimising disruption and maintaining continuity in workforce developmentÌýand patient careÌýmust remain a top priority. ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ remains committed to advocating for our profession and ensuring that those who rely on our services continue to receive the highest standard of care
