Overview

Operating Department Practitioners (ODPs) work as part of a multidisciplinary team in a variety of surgical theatre specialties.

At Hull, you’ll be taught by experts in the field and develop high-quality skills in anaesthetic, surgical and post-operative/anaesthetic care.

Our teaching takes place in the cutting-edge facilities of our award-winning new Allam Medical Building on this programme and our course boasts an incredible employability rating – so the career prospects couldn’t be better.

In fact, the BSc Operating Department Practice (Hons) degree offered by University of Hull has been designed in collaboration with local NHS trusts and private healthcare providers to meet the growing demand for ODPs both locally and nationally.

Plus, students studying this course will also receive a payment of at least £5,000 a year. This doesn't need to be paid back and is in addition to any financial support received through your student loan.

Future prospects

Our degree has an incredible graduate employability rating so the career prospects couldn’t be better.

You’ll graduate with the skills and experience to be a professional healthcare practitioner and eligible to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

Most of our graduates go on to work in the NHS – but others find positions overseas, in private practice, in the social services, the pharmaceutical industry, the Armed Forces, the prison service or in specialist areas such as drug rehabilitation.
