NHS Education for Scotland funds Scottish OOs to training in Therapeutic Prescribing

NHS Education for Scotland (NES) has provided funding to enable Scottish optometrists to undertake training in Therapeutic Prescribing, provided by the Department of Vision Sciences at Glasgow Caledonian University.

The NES grant, which covers all course fees, is available for optometrists who wish to train to become Additional Supply, Supplementary or Independent Prescribers as well as for practitioners who have already undertaken some therapeutic training. Funds are available now for courses starting in March 2009 to cover training fees for up to 120 Optometrists. For more information log on to: http://www.gcal.ac.uk/sls/Vision/study/pg.html
