Operating Department Practitioner jobs: frequently asked questions

Welcome to our Operating Department Practitioner jobs page. Here’s where you can find all our latest Operating Department Practitioner roles, as well as answers to frequently asked questions below.

What does an Operating Department Practitioner do?

An Operating Department Practitioner (ODP), works alongside a surgery team, preparing operating theatres. There are three phases of support within this role: anaesthetic, surgery and recovery.

Working within a multi-disciplinary team, they operate in the NHS and the private sector. In terms of connecting theatre teams to other healthcare professionals and wider hospital teams, they play a vital role.

Daily responsibilities can include prepping patients before surgery is carried out, preparing specialist equipment, assisting the surgeon, cleaning surgical equipment, anticipating the needs of surgeons, supporting the patient through recovery and assessing the patient before discharge.

Generally it’s a shift-based role but surgery is likely to take place during the week, and during normal working hours.

What qualifications do you need to become an Operating Department Practitioner?

Essentially, there are two separate ways of becoming an Operating Department Practitioner.

Firstly, you could take a 2-year diploma. And secondly, you can study for a 3-year degree in operating department practice. Whichever route you take, your course has to be recognised by the HCPC.

Apprenticeships are sometimes offered through NHS trusts. They combine work and study, and in this case your tuition fees will likely be covered.

In some cases, qualifications alone will set you up to apply for jobs. However, some hospitals may require you to have some healthcare experience.

So it’s a good idea to gain some healthcare experience, perhaps as a healthcare assistant while you train.

How much will you earn as an Operating Department Practitioner?

Earnings within this role vary greatly according to experience.

Very broadly, industry stats suggest that Operating Department Practitioners earn around £32,000 a year on average.

In the NHS, where most roles are, the starting salary is above £25,000 a year. With enough experience, Operating Department Practitioners can move into a Band 6 salary – which pays well beyond £30,000 a year.

Private sector salaries are unregulated but normally very similar.

Wherever you decide to work, it’s possible to take your salary towards or even beyond £40,000 a year with enough experience, and better still, specialist qualifications.
