Fundamentals of Operating Department Practice seeks to embrace the knowledge needed for the generic theatre worker, be they nurse or anaesthetic assistant, as envisaged in the Bevan Report. It clarifies the underlying principles needed for an understanding of anaesthetic and surgical practice. It both defines the level of knowledge required for the ODP Level III qualification and covers the practical aspects of operating department practice, wherever relevant. The book also serves as a comprehensive reference to the principles and practice of modern operating department practice and is essential reading for anyone involved in care of the patient in the operating department environment, both in training and in practice.
Summary: Fundamentals of Operating Department Practice
Rating: 5
This is an excellent, informative book. It is ideal for newcomers to the operating department and in depth enough for existing operating department workers to brush up or add to existing knowledge. With an array of authors, all of whom are either still working in or teaching about operating department practices, this book provides up to date knowledge for the generic operating department worker. Whilst some books provide vague guidelines, this book provides a difinitive structure for practices. The information is broken down into topical chapters and reads easily. Whether it is just for personal reading, departmental reading or for reference, I strongly recommend that every operating department should own a copy of this book.
