@DanielR45334244 Hi Daniel. It’s all in HEE’s hands now and lots of work happening nationally to improve ODP profile. Might not seem like it, but we are further ahead than have been. As soon as we hear anything, I will update you accordingly!
@ukmat82 @BeckyGr16183108 Hi Becky. Please get in touch and we can offer some advice. We are a group of ACPs who have a professional background in ODP, so will be able to share our experiences @AClethro @MarkCannan @ACP_SarahA @ukmat82
@Rachel57387355 Please let us know any further questions you have and we will answer as best we can. To reassure you, we have know lots of ODPs who were drafted into ICU during pandemic, who worked in the same capacity as an ICU nurse. It really demonstrated how versatile ODPs are!
@Rachel57387355 Hi Rachel. In terms of restrictions, what are you pertaining to? If you are medicines management trained, including IV. You have the same administration rights as an ICU nurse, as along as the prescription have been written for the specific patient. This is called a PSD

@NAshwangler@WaltonCentre@claireRGN_NHS@boltonnhsft@CollegeODP@odpPIPcast Technician is NOT a term that any ODP should be happy to be referred to. There are a few centres that have employed ODPs as ‘technicians’ for years on ICU, it’s a far cry from what ODPs have been during during surge, independently managing L2&3 patients.
On this #ThankYouDay We thank all Operating Department Practitioners who during this most challenging of times, have worked tirelessly in helping others.
Thank You.
