Clinic courses

The RNIB, which launched a high profile glaucoma awareness programme this week, is to host six optical courses around the UK on other subjects. The first four-day course on giving staff in eye clinics confidence to provide emotional support to patients will take place next month in Belfast, followed by similar courses in Northampton (July), Manchester (September), Bristol (October) and Gateshead (November). In addition the charity will host a one-day low vision event in London.
