Evidence-based resources for allied health professionals
Allied health professionals play a valuable role in delivering effective healthcare for Territorians. Allied health services within NT Health are provided across the full spectrum of healthcare including acute care, primary health care, rehabilitation, and disaster response, and cover all five NT regions. 

We've put together a selection of library resources to support the ongoing professional development of allied health professionals, and to encourage evidence-based patient care, program development, and policies. You might also want to check out our Spotlight on research publications authored by NT Health allied health professionals which you'll find further down the newsletter.
