University Hospitals of Derby and Burton are proud to be working in partnership with the University of Derby on our first ever Operating Department Practitioner apprenticeship programme.
The first cohort of Operating Department Practitioner apprentices started at the Trust in January 2022.
A former nightclub bouncer has made the incredible journey from working on the doors to helping save people’s lives in Theatres as a key member of our robotic surgery team at Royal Derby Hospital. Pam Higginbottom first joined UHDB as a Healthcare Assistant (HCA) six years ago and has spent the last two years training to become an Assistant Theatre Practitioner (ATP) in Urology – following more than two decades in the hospitality industry.
