Operating Department Practice 2016

I know there is already an ODP thread for 2015 intake but hadn't seen any for September 2016 so wanted to make a new one.
Who else is applying for the ODP course September 2016 intake and what universities are you wanting to apply for? :smile:

Hi I want to stay local as I live in London but options are rather limited. I'm hoping to apply to LSBU, West London, Bucks and maybe Surrey. x

Hi.

I only know from speaking to Northumbria university so this may not apply to all universities that offer the course.
At Northumbria it's quite difficult to get onto the course (I am told) as there are only 25 spaces for applicants but there are 125+ people that apply.
It is mostly down to the interview as they are looking for someone with the personality that can meet the demands of the job.

That's all I know really :smile:

Hey, got an interview for the University of Befforshire. Does anyone know what type of questions they ask? Also I have to take a maths and English test, haven't done maths in 3 years so anyone know what topics to revise? Thanks :smile:

I'd have a read of some of the 2015 operating deparment practise threads, a lot of them have what happened in interviews etc :smile:
Hi. I'm also applying for the 2016 intake. Had an interview at Surrey last week but not heard decision yet (my preferred choice as I can apply for sponsorship by my trust). I have an interview for Portsmouth in February and still waiting to hear from LSBU, UWL and Canterbury Christchurch.

Currently working as an HCA in theatres so if anyone needs any pointers let me know :wink:
Still haven't sent my application off :s-smilie: starting to panic now
I havent sent mine off yet either. Im in two minds.. i want to apply for Adult Nursing and ODP at Huddersfield Uni but is it true that my application wont be considered as much as it would of been if i only applied to one course?
Has anyone had their interview yet? if so, what kinds of questions did they ask?:smile:
