Operating Department Practice

Why take this course? This course develops competent, skilled operating department practitioners and has been designed to meet the national pre-registration curriculum in partnership with the local National Health Service acute Trusts and the private sector. Work-based learning is a key component and you will develop practical skills in safe, simulated teaching environments. You will also be supervised in using these skills in practice in one of our placement provider operating theatres. Values and the NHS Constitution We endeavour to recruit students to our health and social care courses who have the right values base and demonstrate appropriate behaviours. We embed the values of the NHS Constitution throughout our admissions processes and they are an essential part of the curricula. Find out more about the values we look for.
