This program aims to enable all students to reach the required academic standards and skills necessary for registration as a health care professional with the Health Professions Council, enabling them to work effectively and safely within the multi disciplinary environment of an Operating theatre.

Students will have a mixed theory/practice course, during which all the theory will take place on the UEA campus and practice will be at one of three local NHS Trust hospitals based in Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth and Norwich.

By the end of this course students will be able to:

• Plan, implement and evaluate high levels of care for all patients through utilization of evidenced based practice for all patient groups ranging from the new born to elderly and the acute to chronically ill.
• Work as an independent accountable practitioner within a multi disciplinary team.
• Be competent in the provision of  care to all patients whilst undertaking an anaesthetic or surgical support role and in the immediate post-operative care role.
• To plan and implement care for patients needing surgical or anaesthetic intervention outside the operating theatre.
