Institute offers mentoring

London's Institute of Optometry has launched a private tutoring and mentoring programme, which is available to all students, pre-registration optometrists and qualified practitioners.

Launched after completion of a successful pilot, the programme will offer a wide range of optometric subject areas through the Institute's staff and visiting clinicians and lecturers.

Sessions at the Institute are available on a one-to-one basis or in groups and can be tailored to the individual's requirements.

Programme leader Susan Cowling said: 'The service is designed for anyone who would like to brush up on their clinical skills, hone their knowledge base before examinations or even those who want to learn a whole new set of clinical skills.'
