Why have a group for Christian Allied Health Professionals?
- To link together Christian Allied Health Professionals through out the UK
- To encourage Allied Health Professionals to integrate their personal beliefs with their professional practice.
- To increase faith in Christ and the acceptance of his teaching in the Allied Health Professions.
- To link Christian AHPs with AHP students to provide for support for students, particularly while on placement.
- To enable Christian AHPs to gain information about mission work overseas and support Christian AHPs who are involved in mission work.
The Christian Therapists Network (CTN) was launched in 2000 to support Christians who work in the Allied Health Professions (including assistant staff). It grew out of the work of the Therapy Students Christian Fellowship, which supported student AHPs under the umbrella of the Christian Union movement. In 2008 the specialist student work ended and students were included in the membership of CTN. A copy of our constitution is available on request.
In 2010, following much discussion, the name was changed to The Allied Health Professionals Christian Network (AHPCN), to more clearly reflect our varied membership
What we believe
We believe in God the Father and in God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is our Saviour, and in God the Holy Spirit. We accept the Bible as the supreme authority in matters of faith and conduct. You can read in more detail what we believe in our doctrinal basis.
Who we are
The Allied Health Professionals Christian Network is run by a council of volunteers. All council members are allied health professionals and are elected onto the council for a two year term. Elections occur at the Annual General Meeting. Further information about the current council members can be found here.
The council are supported by a Council of Reference, a named group of people with different interests/skills who have agreed to provide advice as and when asked.
AHPCN has charitable status under the umbrella of Serving and Caring International.
