On World Allied Health Professions Day, the National Union of Public and General Employees (NUPGE) celebrates the dedication and critical contributions of Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) across Canada. NUPGE represents 450,000 workers, including the majority of Canada’s AHPs. NUPGE again calls on governments to formally recognize October 14 as Allied Health Professions Day in Canada and to go beyond recognition to invest in these professionals who are essential to providing quality public health care.
Allied health professionals play a crucial role at every stage of care. They analyze laboratory samples, produce diagnostic images, help patients breathe, manage medications, support communication and mobility, and guide recovery. Medical laboratory technologists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, medical radiation technologists, pharmacists, dietitians, audiologists, speech-language pathologists, and many others bring specialized knowledge that patients depend on every day.

The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.
