Allied health • Safeguards in training preserve professional standards
The Straits Times
|November 25, 2025
Recent coverage about proposed new training pathways for allied health professionals (AHPs) has raised important questions among the public and the healthcare community (Allied health professionals to be trained to support patients holistically, Nov 21).
-
As Singapore strengthens its health workforce, it is essential that public understanding of how AHPs are trained and licensed remains accurate.
Under the Allied Health Professions Act (2011), occupational therapists, physiotherapists and other allied health practitioners are recognised as distinct regulated professions. Every AHP discipline has its own protected title, competency requirements, educational pathway and supervised practice expectations. These safeguards ensure that patients receive care from professionals with the depth and scope of training required for their specific needs.
