Today we proudly celebrated ODP Day!

Our amazing team of Operating Department Practitioners were treated to some delicious cakes, and our Theatre Service Manager Ryan Young shared some thoughts:

"As we mark National Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) Day, we take a moment to recognise and celebrate the exceptional skill, dedication, and compassion our ODP colleagues bring to patient care every day.

"Working seamlessly across anaesthetics, surgery, and recovery, ODPs are integral to the safe and effective delivery of theatre services, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of care throughout their perioperative journey. Their professionalism, adaptability, and calm expertise underpin the outstanding experiences we strive to provide for every patient."

Today, we thank our ODP team for their invaluable contribution and continued commitment to excellence, your work truly makes a difference!
