Following our joint letter with the AHP Federation, we welcome NHS England and NHS Supply Chain’s decision to withdraw their proposal for a single-colourway AHP uniform in England.
800 members filled in our survey with 71% not supporting the proposal. You shared concerns about a loss of professional identity and the strong association between OTs and the colour green in England. We listened to your views and expressed our opposition in a joint letter with the AHP Federation, of which we’re a member.
NHS England and NHS Supply Chain have recognised the strong opposition that you and other AHPs expressed in surveys run by us and other professional bodies. They have committed to continuing to work with us and our AHP colleagues to find a suitable solution.
Thank you to everyone who shared their views.
