Abstract

Allied Health (AH) consists of sub-communities (individual disciplines), excluding medical or nursing/midwifery. It is described as one of the pillars of the patient care workforce. However, traditional medical dominance and occupational prestige remain the key challenges faced by AH professionals in establishing their roles in the healthcare system. The aim of this paper is to discuss the challenges faced by AH managers through a review of current literature on the challenges faced by other health service managers (HSM). The AH managers role are complex and full of challenges. These include managing role and identity conflict, balancing time and commitment of various tasks, meeting expectations from different sources, managing unstable and part-time workforce, exerting professional power and negotiating on resources.
