Course Overview

Then perioperative practice could be a great career option if you want to open up a whole host of opportunities for your future. Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs) work alongside surgeons, anesthetists, and other medical staff to provide care for patients at all stages of the surgical process. Youll have the opportunity to practice your skills in our simulated operating theatre, enabling you to experience the operating theatre environment. The course is regulated by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) so youll benefit from experienced staff, specialist labs, and great links to NHS Trusts and our partners in the private sector. Our clinical placements opportunities enable you to gain valuable hands-on experience in a number of perioperative environments. Youll get the chance to work in the real world as part of interdisciplinary teams in a variety of care settings, so youll be able to see how ODPs contribute to all sorts of specialist areas. Youll have the opportunity to hear the experiences and viewpoints from service users and carers, who are part of the Public Partnership Group.
