Dear Student,
This Anatomy & Physiology work book is designed to equip you with the basic
knowledge that you will need during the Dip HE Operating Department Practice
Programme. As with any work book it is not exhaustive and does not replace
extensive reading around your subjects. Module Reference Lists will be helpful in
directing you to useful texts and links.
This workbook does not form part of the module summative assessment criteria.
However, completing it will better equip you to manage the theoretical assessment
and your development in clinical practice.
Whilst the majority of this workbook will be completed during your private study time
you will also be required on occasion to undertake elements during your theory
weeks, so it must be brought during this time. In addition, you will have lectures to
underpin the knowledge and understanding in each module.
The programme team is here to help you with any issues or advice that you may
need, please do not hesitate to contact us,
Katie Hide
