Healthcare Sciences

The operating theatre is a really fascinating environment to work in.

The ODP job is unique. You’ll be working alongside surgeons, anaesthetists and other healthcare staff in a team where everyone has to work closely together.

Healthcare science staff who work in the physiological sciences investigate the functioning of organ/body systems to diagnose abnormalities and find ways to restore function and/or reduce disabling consequences to the patient.

Healthcare science staff in this area have specialist skills that enable them to take blood from babies, children and frail elderly people as well as other patients.
