Can we join codp without joining unison ?

HL FOLLOWED UP
RESPONSE FROM CODP

UNISON and CODP are as such one entity so if you join one, you join the other. I fully understand that some ODP’s may not want to join a Trade Union for a number of reasons (military personal are not allowed to), however that’s the current arrangement. As an ODP in clinical practice, I would advise to join a Trade Union, not to be militant, but to have representation in the case of a serious clinical incident which may go to court, or in the event of a grievance procedure with the employer. Fully understand though that some folk wish not to be in a union. For academics, there is a Memorandum of Understanding between UCU and UNISON therefore CODP membership is as such covered with UCU membership. It’s worth noting that a few of the other AHP professional bodies are Trade Unions also therefore the arrangement ODP’s have is not unique.

Student membership costs £10 per year.

I believe we need better opportunity streams for ODPs who are engaged with research to have a clear pathway for postgraduate research. Current I believe there is a lot of resistance for those who wish to pursue this career option, as some individuals believe ODPs should go straight into full time employment and not consider further study alongside practice.

More promotion in schools and sixth forms/collages

Internationally, what does the future hold for ODP's I.e. If you want to work in Australia?

# data[].attributes.body
Currently there are 13,200 registered ODPs in comparison to 22,000 Paramedics and 380,000 nurses. Conversely we are a profession that is a minority in a majority. What is it as a profession we need to attract new practitioners

For specific level 7 or academic courses I would like to see psychology courses, looking at human factors staff interaction and behavioral drives. Especially ODPs working in anaesthetics. Team Leading, leadership skills specific to our profession would be  very beneficial.

Our trust over the past year has now recognised that we can work in other areas. Pre assessment is an area which is now actively seeking ODPs. Cardiology and Endoscopy have also started seeking ODPs, however, accident and emergency is an area that we have not infiltrated yet.

It would be nice if we could have a directory of where we could find funding to develop our careers within the nhs. With so many nhs hospitals in special measures many of us now have no access to further education unless we pay. Much of the funding is specific to nurses and other professionals, but not ODPs.
