ODP Apprenticeship Toolkit
In collaboration with Buckinghamshire New University and Canterbury Christ Church University, HEE and Sussex AHP Faculty have produced an Apprenticeship toolkit for ODPs. It has been designed with the intent to support both employers and employees through the process from application and throughout the course.
The toolkit is available for download and the resources to be used alongside can be found on this page.
