title: Hospital restructuring--the implications for allied health professions.
abstract: Allied health professionals are not immune to the forces affecting the health care system at the macro-policy and political level. Policy implementation at the organisational level can have serious consequences for health professions which are not effectively scanning the broader health care agenda and developing systematic strategic responses. This paper will explore the changing work environment for allied health professions as a result of current trends in organisational restructuring. Five models of hospital organisation will be presented and examined in terms of their potential impacts on the allied health professions.
