Module
Description
The module encourages apprentice/learner practitioners working in
the perioperative environment to provide service user care, which is
based on sound theoretical knowledge and current research. It will
encourage practitioners, through reflection, to gain and build on
knowledge and skills relating to the care of service users in the
anaesthetic areas of the operating department.
Module Theme – Safety and Resilience
The practitioner in this area is responsible, working in conjunction with
the anaesthetist and others, for the safe care of service users
undergoing anaesthetic procedures. Apprentices/learners need to
develop their knowledge and skills in this area in order for them to be
able to recognise and respond to changes in clinical circumstances
and in the perioperative environment.
Module Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module, apprentices/learners will be
able to:
1. Describe and undertake service user care in the anaesthetic room as per professional responsibilities of an operating department practitioner in the anaesthetic area of perioperative care.
2. Discuss relevant sources of knowledge related to the management and delivery of care to service users undergoing local, regional and general anaesthetic.
3. Recognise & respond to changes in both clinical circumstances and the perioperative environment.

Module
Description
This module provides apprentice/learner operating department
practitioners working within the perioperative environment with the
underpinning scientific principles related to human physiology and
anaesthetic and surgical equipment. The scientific principles relating
to pharmacology and the management of medication within the
perioperative environment are also addressed. Content is based
around sound theoretical knowledge and current research. The
module encourages practitioners, through reflection, to build on their
learning experiences and apply them to the practice situation.
Module Theme – Safety and Reflection
Apprentice/learner ODPs must be able to understand the importance
of safe practice where equipment and medication are concerned. To
do this effectively, they need to understand how things work, what
they are used for and the consequences to service user care if errors
are made.
Module Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module, apprentices/learners will be
able to:
1. Develop understanding of scientific principles related to clinical conditions, perioperative equipment and the safe application to service user care.
2. Discuss common types of medications and fluids in use within the perioperative environment and understand procedures, guidance and techniques for the safe administration of medication and fluid balance.
Module Content
1. Introduction to measurement and physiological parameters
How to interpret changes/deviations to physiological parameters
Physics and chemistry topic areas will be conceptualised to
incorporate the biological aspect of science.

Module
Description
This module provides operating department practitioners working
within the perioperative environment with the underpinning principles
of human anatomy and physiology. The module encourages
practitioners, through reflection and enquiry based learning, to build on
their learning experiences and apply them to the practice situations
they encounter.
Module Theme – Reflection & Safety.
Activities and exercises in this module are designed to encourage
reflection on what constitutes ‘normal’ with regard to human anatomy
and physiology and how deviations from this ‘norm’ can result in
interventions in the perioperative environment which are necessary in
order to maintain a safe environment.
Sensitivity: Internal
Module Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the module, apprentices/learners will be
able to:
1. Develop an understanding of normal human anatomical structures and related physiology across the lifespan.
2. Identify the interrelationship and interdependence of ‘body systems’.
3. Describe how the effects of disease across the lifespan can determine the requirements for intervention in the perioperative setting.
