The presentation was very good! John made it more interesting and everything was very clear, giving me a better understanding of what it is like to work as an ODP.

The examples and his life experience working in the operating theatre department were an eye opener. It was worth attending the taster day as I was able to hear first hand information and this has really helped me decide whether I would like to go ahead and apply for a place or not. I will definitely do!

It was also good to hear experiences from the first year student who was available. She really helped by giving us advice and some hints which I found to be useful.

The event was well organised, there was a lot of thought put into it so that the participants could actually have a feel of what this role involves. What I enjoyed most was the demonstration of the practical skills required - intubating the dummy etc.

I very much enjoyed the taster day and it reinforced my decision to apply.
