This module develops your learning from the Introduction to Operating Department Practice module, focusing on the patient within the clinical environment. Module content reflects the preparation of the operating department and the patient for their procedure, drawing together biological sciences, patient safety, law, ethics and professional standards in the context of individualised patient care. Although this module does not have a practice-based element of assessment, you will spend time in clinical placement areas (organised by the University) to experience how the concepts covered in this module relate directly to your professional practice. Key concepts covered in this module:

• Legal & Ethical Issues: Accountability, Duty of Care, Consent, Negligence
• Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI)
• Race, culture & ethnicity
• Introduction to Health & Social Inequalities and the impact on patient care
• Anatomy & Physiology
- Skeletomuscular
- GU System
- Reproductive Systems
- GI System
- Lymphatic System/Immunity
• Preparation and use of anaesthetic, surgical and recovery equipment
• Human Factors:
- Reception & identification of patients
- The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist
• Ergonomics in the Operating Department:
- Moving and handling equipment and instrumentation
- Patient transfer and safe positioning of the patient for perioperative procedures

20-minute presentation plus a maximum of 5 minutes questions and answer session with the panel (100%), meeting outcomes 1, 2, 3 & 4(Reception, identification & preparation of a patient for a named surgical procedure)

This module develops your learning from the Introduction to Operating Department Practice module, focusing on the patient within the clinical environment. You will focus on the preparation of the operating department and the patient for their procedure, developing and delivering individualised patient care. You will examine legal and ethical issues, including accountability, duty of care, consent, and negligence. You will explore how Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI); race, culture and ethnicity; and health and social inequalities impact on patient care. You will develop your knowledge and understanding of biological sciences, including anatomy and physiology. You will reflect on the role of human factors in the reception and identification of patients, and the use of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist; and how ergonomics in the operating department affect moving and handling of patients and equipment. Although this module does not have a practice-based element of assessment, you will spend time in clinical placement areas (organised by the University) to experience how the concepts covered in this module relate directly to your professional practice.
