https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc Have your say - please give me feedback on the proposed career framework for ODP's and perioperative practitioners so that I can take 'our voice' to the professional body to see if we can develop this further. Your comments can be anonymous or please put your name to these. Feel free to contact me (Helen Lowes) for more information on r.lowes@shu.ac.uk en-us 2017-07-06 12:22:31 UTC 2024-06-03 07:34:23 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png hlowes https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178188605 06/07/2017 Sheffield Hallam University
SHU Students, Conference Delegates, Academic staff
Educational academic level - starts at level 6 (mentor), levels of prgression prior to level 6 (Dip/NVQ/City & Guilds).

Definately needed! Good Model!
Like the layout- easy to understand
Assumptions of title- consultant- what does this mean to people?
Keeping of the ODP within advanced roles is important!
Practice development - not represented (title)
?Example needed for each title?

Clinical- job roles can be specified so as toknow whta skills are needed?

it is imperative to keep the ODP title so to give awareness of the profession
the crossover from leadership to clincial practice conflicts itself
to new students this framework is needed to widen future prospects to the profession
to those choosing a career in ODP this would be great so they can see future aspirations
information database or link for career progressio


This could be used at PDP's to help the practitioner discsuss what they want and where they want to get to

Where can we find the pathway, how can we access it?
Good clear prospects for ODP's
How as a band 5 can we implement this into practice i.e. take it back to work
What jobs in clinical practice could an ODP do? How can we expand our role?
A dedicated ODP Masters degree/modules?
Bringing parity to ODP preceptorships
Why are we not pushing for an ALL DEGREE PROFESSION
The framework could give us credibility/stability, specific education routes, recognition
single profession in theatres
We might need more transferable skills, some from nursing or other professions like paramedics so we should train on wards and other areas as part of our course, perhaps in the community and in the 1st year. They come to our area so why not us to theirs?
Mental health & community health
Management simulation training
What constitutes a 5 or 6 nationally 
The trusts would need to be involved
Getting the recognition 
Would we need to regrade staff to fit this framework? How would we overcome the national disparity that already exists?
Would we need a 5a, 6a etc?
Where does being on the directorate, a hospital manager or chief exec fit in the leadership bit?
Where does policy maker fit- in the research bit?
Where would professor and lecturer fit?
Put a guide on the back?

ODP journal/magazine- online?
use focus groups
a guide on how we can expand
this pathway gives you options
promotes stability
creates fairness
likelihood of future plans to develop
50/50 leadership and education
opportunity for progression
colour code the overlaps?
Confusion about the word consultant, will the public think we are doctors, should we use a different term?]]> 2017-07-06 20:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178217045 hlowes https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178218217 Will it cause some practitioners issues and regarding/demoting?
How does it fit into KSF/other PDP's
Who would this sit best with, the CODP, AfPP both?
Create a guide as to what roles these aspects come under
Need a national study to identify roles
Need to share this nationally and let ODP's voice what they want - crowdsourcing similar to that for the AHP's?

Take it on a road show to other universities 
?sideways movement I.e. Specialist ODP may be horizontal not vertical
? Level 5/6 are both qualified ODP's 
Do we need to match levels with roles? (Maybe not?)
It's about educating employers 
Are ODPs unable to apply due to unable to access 
Is the profession stopping progression to high levels e.g dept manager ODP. It slowed to apply for as not qualified to work on ward 
To change identity to become another profession not just an ODP 
Will PAA/SCP want to be known as an ODP or a PAA in future?]]> 2017-07-07 18:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178279885 hlowes https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178280122 Design would be nice centred around ODP rather than the cheif exec. I.e he other way round
Limitations in future practices?
Advances ODP is part of BSc 
Makes all ODP's/trusts equal
Trust would need to be on board
Could/should this be led by the Trusts 
National framework - trust health board have to acknowledge roles and responsibilities I line with the reward. 
Career aligned to education and why!!
Equality and parity with peers of like or similar professions. Theatre nurses/ODP. 
Positive. 
Good idea
Good to have pictorial version to show ODP's and applicants 
Concise 
Good visual solid format
Potential for cross professions
Difference between consultant and specialist
What would a consultant do?
Extend past level 8?
Earlier engagement with research skills
Clarity over roles/levels to align the framework(this would ensure engagement and understanding of direction for additional study etc)
Is it more complex than a circle? ]]> 2017-07-07 18:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178280122 hlowes https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/178280338 You can measure yourself against this 
Disparity about what level sfa is and other roles
Ensure don't hold back practitioners by stating that you have to have level 6/7
Learn from AFC alignment and regrading which occurred 
More opportunities in London 
Private sector
Will Trusts look at this and try to use it to provide most cost effective/degrade people?

Thought we should have a framework every since I saw the paramedic career pathway.
One concern re-terminology. Framework suggests Advanced ODPs are a level below Specialist ODPs, this is the wrong way round. Advanced ODPs/ODPs in Advanced Roles study at academic level 7. Surgical First Assistant is an extended scope of practice achieved with level 6 study. It is not an advanced role. Advanced roles include SCP, PA(A) and ACP. They all require a minimum of 2yrs post-grad education at level 7 whereas SFA is a 30 credit module at level 6. Have Senior/Specialist ODP at level 6 with Advanced ODP at level 7. Also, Advanced ODPs span all 4 pillars of Advanced Practice: Education, Leadership, Clinical Expertise and Research, would be good to reflect that in the diagram , at present they are listed under Clinical Expertise.
Great work so far, well done.

I understand that the RCN are credentialing nurses that have MSc and practice at advanced level.  You could have Advanced Nurses In theatre at band 8a and Advanced ODP at band 6?  Both having Advanced Titles?

I have some concerns with some of the descriptions - there. Is the suggestion that leadership roles only occur in theatre - I think that the leadership ones should be generic - increasingly ODPs are doing senior / divisional leadership roles or even regional

I’m guessing education ones are academic ones in HEI though of course university banding is separate and doesn’t Align toA4c 

Band 8 is actually 4 band 8a -d and what about band 9 ?? Although there are senior roles in the Centre I think VSM payscale could be mentioned here

After 7 years as an ODP & a back injury which gives me pain all the time now I'd jump at the chance of a research job. I've yet to come across a Research ODP but if you are out there please let me know how you got into it!
Unfortunately what you get told as a student regarding job opportunities post-qualification can prove disappointing in reality.]]> 2017-12-01 07:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212163412 https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212165411 Overall a great framework that is definitely needed for the profession.
Two areas of concern for me are:
1 - Why does a senior ODP need to be educated to level 7? The course is level 6 and very little opportunity exisists in the NHS to complete a funded level 7 course. This could also discriminate against those already in the role that have been doing it for years and may be C&G or NVQ qualified.
2 - ODP isn't limited to theatres, although I appreciate most roles are based here. Introducing a framework that looks as if it supports the idea an ODP can only progress into senior roles in theatre could be damaging for those of us that work out of the perioperative arena and also inhibit the development of further roles. I'm a band 7 lead practitioner and haven't worked in theatre for 3 years!]]> 2017-12-01 08:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212165411 https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212213653 2017-12-01 11:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212213653 https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212213758 I was only thinking about where I fit into this, as I’m sure there will be others out there who are in similar positions.
I haven’t worked in Theatres for 12 years, was qualified as C&G752 all those years back. However, I maintain my registration, am a band 8C and work within my clinical skills.
I think it’s important that we think about non Theatre roles as more and more move into management of one sort or another.]]> 2017-12-01 11:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212213758 https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212329152 Policies are so outdated at our trust regarding ODP’s! To the point where I’m theatre we’re not allowed only ODP’s on a night or weekend shift in a theatre, there has to be a nurse there, even a band 5!]]> 2017-12-01 16:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/212329152 https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/270533856 Agree with banding statements any title holding advanced is usually trainee advanced role at a band 7 and 8a for qualified advanced roles. My colleague was a trainee Surgical Care Practitioner (SCP) at band 7 and a 8a once qualified as an SCP. In terms of Advanced Practice Health Education England (HEE) also quantify the same banding. 8a for advanced practice not 6. I’m currently registered ODP but band 7 Lead Resuscitation Officer. ]]> 2018-07-18 16:29:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hlowes/7typpdt0kuyc/wish/270533856
