All prospective students are actively encouraged to arrange an informal visit to a placement hospital at some stage during the application process.
When on an informal visit to a placement hospital you get to talk to managers, registered Operating Department Practitioners and current students. You have opportunities to discuss the course and working as an Operating Department Practitioner. You will be able get a real flavour of the role and what working in an operating department is really like.
Please note: The contact details for placement hospitals are for prospective Operating Department Practice students, NOT medics, medical students or overseas medical persons. Please only contact the placement hospitals if you are applying to the BSc Operating Department Practice programme.
