About And Using This Guide

Welcome to the subject guide for the Allied Health Professions (AHP). The guide includes resources and information for Diagnostic Radiography, Therapeutic Radiography and Oncology, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Operating Department Practice and Paramedic Science. It also includes resources on Healthcare Management and Leadership.

The guide is intended to help you find books and journal articles and will give you some tips about using information resources. It brings together all the relevant resources for your subject area, to save you time looking for them yourself. It also contains information about Professional Bodies and other organisations relevant to the professions.

Using the guide: Look to the left of this box: you will see the tabs indicating the sections, with a drop down menu underneath. Simply click on the relevant tab and this will give you the menu where you can choose your option. In the 'Journal Databases' tab you will find links to the relevant databases for AHP research. It is important to use these for your academic work as they contain the most up to date research for your field.

Depending on your topic of study, you may find these other guides useful too:

Literature searching is a key skill for students on Health courses. We know it can be quite daunting to remember all of the information you are told in the literature searching sessions and that you may need a little extra help.

If you need help with your assignments finding articles and resources, click on the link above and contact Hallam Help. We can provide support remotely to help you find resources for your academic work. Please try to give as much detail about what help you need as you can, such as your topic and where you have searched for resources.

You can also find more information on our handy Making the most of your library off campus guide.
