Core Topics in Operating Department
Practice
Anaesthesia and Critical Care
Recent developments to medical career structures
and roles and responsibilities have raised the
profile of operating department practitioners
(ODPs). Required knowledge is vast, and exams
must be sat in working towards statutory registra-
tion. This is the first in a series of three books
prehensive information for health-
care staff working in the operating department.
Topics include anaesthesia, critical care, post-
interventional care, enhancing care delivery,
professional practice, leadership and resource
management. The clear and concise format is
ideally suited to study and qualification as well as
continued reference during practice. Written by
specialists with a wealth of knowledge and experi-
ence to offer, and incorporating problem-based
learning from case studies, this book will be
important for ODPs and theatre nurses throughout
the UK, in Australia where the same structures have
been adopted, and worldwide for all professionals
working in operating departments.
