So why was this the case ? Well the answer is quite simple for as the Sheffield Hallam University ODP training transitioned to a three year Degree course from a two year Diploma there was actually no winner in 2017. James successfully completed the BSc (Hons) Operating Department Practice and achieved the highest average mark amongst all his peers on the Sheffield Hallam University's first ever BSc cohort.
