title: The research challenge for the Professions Allied to Medicine.
abstract: The transfer of health care schools into Higher Education, coupled with the universal development of degree programmes has resulted in the need to develop research strategies for the Professions Allied to Medicine (PAMs). While considerable reliance has to be placed on the University sector to lead and encourage research activity, it is essential to recognise the need to maintain and develop links with clinical colleagues and to promote the growth of interdisciplinary research. A variety of areas which could allow early fruition of collaborative work between the professions are proposed.
