Operating Department Practitioner Degree Apprenticeship

About

This degree-level apprenticeship qualifies you as an operating department practitioner: a registered healthcare professional specialising in caring for people of all ages before, during and after surgery.

Operating department practitioners work alongside other professionals (such as doctors and nurses) and take a lead role in ensuring a patient is safe during their journey through the operating theatre.

By completing this Level 6 apprenticeship, you will gain a BSc (Hons) in Operating Department Practice which has been approved by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and you will be eligible to apply to the HCPC for registration.

We will cover the skills, knowledge and behaviours required to look after patients during the three phases of the operating theatre: anaesthesia, surgery and post-anaesthesia. And you will develop in five broad areas:

Professional practice
Professional values and behaviours
Professional standards
Leadership, management and partnership working
Communication and information
