Operating department assistant training
From 1976 and until the 1990s, education for the operating department assistant and the operating department practitioner (ODP) was available through regional training centres. The City and Guilds of London Institute approved the regional training centres following recommendations made by the Lewin Report (Department of Health 1970). This offered many recruits, who came from diverse backgrounds and who did not always have perioperative experience, an opportunity to enter into perioperative practice.
The course itself comprised of two calendar years where the ‘trainee ODA’ was exposed to specialities within the theatre suite. Trainees were also invited to visit other departments that had a direct influence on their perioperative work. For some, visiting accident & emergency, sterile services, coronary care and intensive care units expanded their knowledge and understanding of medicine and healthcare.
