Rejected petition: To get Orthopaedic Practitioners recognised in Uk as Allied Health Professionals
Rejected on
I would wish for the Government/Parliament to help ensure that Orthopaedic practitioners registered with the British Orthopaedic Association, are recognised as registered professionals within the NHS, and are offered the opportunity to develop as part of the NHS.recognisedAllied Health Professionals
currently pay banding varies around the UK for orthopaedic practitioners and career opportunities are very hard currently.
We are registered with the British Orthopaedic Association which is our professional body and also voluntary membership to the AOP (Association of Orthopaedic Practitioners).
Our work is niche and highly specialised, we work as a key part of Orthopaedic Multidisciplinary Teams to provide world class care to our patients.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is an internal matter for the NHS and the related medical/expert colleges of professionals, rather than for the Government.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
