This article discusses the case for improving service user involvement in a UK-based operating department practice (ODP) degree programme. The term 'service user' is a broad phrase referring to those who use or are affected by the services of Health and Care Professions Council-registered professionals. In 2018, the Health and Care Professions Council set a mandatory requirement for service user engagement within all 15 HCPC-registered Allied Health Professions. Despite this, there is a lack of published literature on this topic, particularly in relation to operating department practice education. The authors, who are involved in operating department practice education and service user engagement at one UK university, discuss their proactive integration of service user involvement in the operating department practice curriculum through a well-established partnership. The article identifies various formats of service user involvement, utilisation of a humanisation framework, evaluating the impact on students and highlights the transformative potential of experiential learning. The authors advocate for knowledge sharing to build an empirical foundation for service user involvement in operating department practice education nationwide.
本文探讨了提高服务使用者参与英国手术室实践（ODP）学位课程的理由。“服务使用者”一词是一个宽泛的表述，指的是那些使用卫生和社会照护专业委员会注册专业人员的服务或受其服务影响的人。2018年，卫生和社会照护专业委员会对所有15个由该委员会注册的联合健康专业领域提出了服务使用者参与的强制性要求。尽管如此，关于这一主题的已发表文献仍然匮乏，尤其是在手术室实践教育方面。本文作者来自英国一所大学，参与手术室实践教育和服务使用者参与工作，他们讨论了如何通过建立良好的伙伴关系，将服务使用者参与积极融入手术室实践课程。文章确定了服务使用者参与的各种形式，运用了人性化框架，评估了对学生的影响，并强调了体验式学习的变革潜力。作者主张进行知识共享，为服务使用者参与全国范围内的手术室实践教育奠定实证基础。
