Happy #ODPDay . Committed to the care and safety of our patients, community and each other. 80 years of the profession and we’ve come so far in developing this amazing career!
We were up at Jersey Park Run this morning in aid of #RestartAHeart . This annual initiative is so important to share the life skill of #CPR with the public. We even met a cardiac arrest survivor! Living proof of how important #CPR is @resuservicejsy@ResusCouncilUK
Happy #ODPday ! Coolest job ever! The theme this year is ‘advancing the profession’. I’m proud to know many ODPs in advanced clinical roles both in and out of the perioperative area including myself as SFA and Resus Officer. The scope of the role, in 2023, is huge!
Most people think of patient facing roles being only Doctors and Nurses.
However, there’s a whole other group called Allied Health Professionals (AHPs).
There’s 14 groups that work side by side with us to provide the best care for patients.
📣 Postings on social media on #odpday identified many of the diverse roles that #ODPs can be found working in outside of the operating department.
Please read below on how to showcase the range of roles and settings that ODPs now work in ⬇️⬇️⬇️

New research published in @Anaes_journal finds that surgery should be delayed for at least seven weeks after a patient tests positive for #COVIDー19, to reduce mortality risk.

Interesting, when Dex is used all the time in the NHS and has been for decades. I prescribed it twice last week (not for CoViD). The medical profession thanks you not to tell fibs or use the results of this study for political gain. You absolute salad 🥗
