This breakthrough new text is the first 'theory' textbook published
for ODP students studying at degree level and maps neatly onto the
ODP degree curriculum. Written by experts from the Profession the
book covers the core theoretical and professional components of the
ODP curriculum, including chapters on: Professionalism Law Ethics
Reflective practice Decision making Psychosocial aspects of care
Research and evidence based practice Each chapter includes case
studies and pedagogy designed to help ODP students see the
relevance of these issues to their everyday practice, and enhance
learning and study. This book is key reading for all ODP students
and qualified professionals. "This book identifies strongly the
enhanced development of the operating department practice (ODP)
profession. It focuses well on the theory underpinning the need for
the compassionate care of the patient. Compassionate care is a
fundamental requirement of ODPs now, given the changes in the
profession. Many years ago, the main role of the ODP was to give
technical support to anaesthetists. This has completely changed and
the focus is now on ensuring safe and effective perioperative
patient care using enhanced and improved knowledge and skills. It
is a fundamental requirement for ODPs to develop these advanced
skills and knowledge in order to firmly establish the profession.
This book does not focus on clinical skills, it focuses on the role
of the ODP in every-day work. This involves elements such as
interprofessional working, research, patient safety, psychological
aspects of patient care, and legal frameworks. Most ODP text books
have not emphasised the importance of these topics - whereas this
book does. The value of this book is firstly to emphasise the
knowledge and understanding needed by ODPS to care for patients
appropriately, and secondly, to emphasise the improvements that the
profession has been undergoing over the past few years. Based on
the information within this book, students, practitioners, theatre
managers and even surgeons and anaesthetists will be able to better
understand the modern role of the ODP. Technical skills are
obviously still important, but even more important is the safety
and compassionate care of patients in the operating environment.
This can only be achieved by a combination of knowledge and skills,
working in harmony with other professionals.This book will provide
a sound basis for the promotion of the ODP profession and the
better understanding of all other professionals on the way that
ODPs now work." Paul Wicker, Head of Perioperative Studies, Edge
Hill University, Ormskirk, UK
