Fight for anaesthetic nurses.
I must congratulate Greenwich District Hospital on running their theatres without Operating Department Assistants (Nursing Standard week ending October 31), lam sure the two ODAs who did not have their names printed had no reason to feel personally insulted. As I read the article, it was attacking the idea of ODAs, not individual people. My own opinion is that people who are neither doctors nor nurses and have only a City and Guilds training, should not be allowed to do the things that they do unsupervised. A nurse takes three years plus, training before working in anaesthetics and is not allowed to do many of the things that ODAs are.
