The Courses
There are many areas of optometric practice that need continually updating. Communication and Binocular Vision are two such areas identified by NES as key areas that require support for practicing Optometrists.
Communication
Poor communication has been identified as the leading cause for complaints raised by patients when accessing health services. In fact it has been shown that patients are less likely to complain about their care if they like the person delivering it even if mistakes have been made in their care. Most clinicians interrupt their patient after only 18 seconds of interaction and it has been shown that this may result in the practitioner missing key information essential to diagnosis. If you think this information is interesting then find out even more at one of our one day workshops – Lost for Words. The workshops will help you improve your communication and ultimately your business and clinical care.

Binocular Vision
Binocular Vision is a topic many find daunting however more practice will help you gain confidence. That is exactly what our 10 hour workshops are designed to do. These highly practical workshops will allow you to gain more experience with binocular vision patients and learn more about paediatric eye care in your area. A blend of patient practice, and lectures will help your confidence grow not to mention learning about services for patients with low vision in your area from the voluntary sector.

Free opportunities
Take advantage of these fantastic learning opportunities and make sure you attend your local events and support these CET opportunities funded by NES. see what past students have to say are free to Optometrists in Scotland and provide a great opportunity to refresh knowledge in a range of topics related to optometry.
We promise that they will be educational but more importantly a fun way to keep your practice current.
