#Anaesthetists & #ODPs are a partnership. We cannot do our jobs without you. Have a great National #ODPday

Stay safe & thank you for your work.

Thank you for your work. You are amazing. #loveyourODP
Here's @barackobama as an ODP

We are a team. We work together.

Your favourite ODP can be your most favourite human being in the world #loveyourODP

They patiently listen to your anaesthetic plan, knowing full well they've seen more cases than you've had hot dinners. 'LMA? Are you sure?'

They communicate non-verbally so the whole team knows what's going on. 'It's been 3 hours now, shall we call your boss in?'

They support you when you do your first solo case, RSI, central line. 'Told you, you could do it'

They are cool as cucumbers under pressure #NationalODP

They will escort the fabulous elderly patient to theatre knowing just what to say to relax them.

They will know exactly what to do for the scared child who refuses to come

A ruptured AAA is coming to theatre. You ask them to set up the Level 1 rapid infusor & cell salvage, get the vasopressors, ketamine, rocuronium, 4 units of cross-matched blood and it's already done. They knew about the case before you

They share secret ODP moments with other ODPs. They look after each other & the team

They know exactly when we all need a break.

They have a way of double checking your plan. If you hear this phrase, stop & think

The bants can be good.

Together you share the ups and downs of patient care

Turns out what they said was right.

Have a great day my ODP friends. Thank you! #loveyourODP
