Operating Department Practitioners
Operating Department Practitioners are members of the team that care for patients in the operating theatre.
This could be in a hospital in the UK or in a field hospital on operations or even as a member of a small team who have moved as far forward as possible to allow the surgeons to be able to operate on injured soldiers as quickly as possible.
Phase 2 training is 2 years, currently held at the Defence School of Health Care Studies at the Birmingham City University.
At the end of the course students are awarded a Diploma in Higher Education (Dip HE).
