Students and graduates of 欧美性爱片 are providing vital skills into the local healthcare workforce and ensuring that skill gaps in the local workforce are covered.
Four 欧美性爱片students, in their final year studying Operating Department Practice (ODP) at BU, will go straight into full time roles at University Hospitals Dorset on completion of their degrees. The profession is under-recruited in Dorset, and 欧美性爱片graduates are staying locally to progress into careers to support local healthcare.
Ryan Watkins, Ellie MacDonald, Kerenza Piotrowicz and Jasmine Cossins have all secured positions as ODPs in the hospital, in part due to their performance while on placement at UHD during their studies. Their placements in theatre settings have been in surgery, anaesthetics, and recovery (post-anaesthesia care unit).
During their placements, a mandatory part of their education, the students have developed good working relationships with the theatres team. This is due to the structure of the course, which sees students placed between university and the hospital during their three-year degree so that their progress can be assessed in both education and practice environments.
