How would you characterise the different career paths for optometrists?
Dr Mary-Ann Sherratt: There are many different career paths for optometrists. There are the traditional routes involving working in a high street store, in a hospital, extended roles, research and a volunteering setting. There’s also the option to be an adviser – either to Locsu or to one of the optical bodies (including the College), or to NHS England or its equivalent in the other nations. Some optometrists may enter further academia; both teaching and researching and finally, many will engage in a portfolio working life, splitting their time among a range of these areas of work.
