#ODPDay
Last year we carried out over 30,000 surgeries and this wouldn't have been possible without our operating department practitioners!

Today is #ODPday and a chance to recognise our 49 ODPs and 11 apprentices who look after our surgical patients across our hospitals with expertise and compassion.

As we mark National Operating Day 2026, we’re proud to acknowledge the dedication, compassion, and exceptional expertise our theatre teams bring to patient care every day.

Too excited not to say something. Hold the 8th May 2026 in your diaries.
ODPs of a certain vintage will remember what traditionally happens in early May (not #ODPDay on the 14th).
See you in Birmingham, enough said!

#ODPDay one of the reasons I and other members of codp.org.uk PC were in parliament today. We were hoping for a Q at PMQs, unfortunately not selected.
But thank you @cateccles.bsky.social & @soniakumarmp.bsky.social for hosting us and support going forward.
