Recent changes to the NHS structure for enhanced care have prompted Optician to commission an important piece of research into the profession’s awareness and attitudes towards community eye services.

It added that its CET scheme was highlighted by the PSA, which described it as ‘proportionate’ and said the implementation of peer review was useful for practitioners who worked alone or in small numbers.
