Are you or have you recently been working in operating theatres and want to take the next step in your career?

We have a fantastic opportunity for someone who is motivated and passionate about providing high standards of patient care and wants to work towards become becoming a fully qualified ODP.

This is an apprenticeship opportunity enabling you to continue in paid employment whilst studying towards a BSC in Operating Department Practice incorporating the Integrated Degree Apprenticeship standards for Operating Department Practice. This 3 year course combines work-based and academic learning between the RUH and the University of Gloucester starting January 2024 and is a new and innovative route to acquire the knowledge, skills and behaviours required across different areas of perioperative care.

During the apprenticeship you will be fully supported to develop skills and knowledge that will allow you to work in today’s dynamic, complex and changing healthcare environment. Whilst you will be allocated to the Operating Department, you will also experience working across both internal and external clinical placement areas to gain wider experience and achieve the learning outcomes of the programme.

You will be completing on-the-job learning and collating evidence of achievement in a practice portfolio. The academic study will make up 20% of the course and is delivered through 'blended learning' - a combination of face-to-face and online teaching. Face-to-face sessions will be in blocks and day release. Online learning can include group webinars, independent activities or reading between the block study sessions.
