Working Better
The ODP profession key to the response to the covid-19 pandemic and as a result their transferrable skill set gained widespread recognition outside the perioperative environment, especially in critical care areas. As we move beyond the pandemic, we explore the impact on the profession and the impact on education and career pathways. We also consider how the profession is responding to the recovery of elective services and how the impact of the profession can be maximised to have the greatest benefits to patients and service.
