Plymouth optometry students visit Outside Clinic

The Outside Clinic has been visited by optometry students from the University of Plymouth to the Swindon based head office.

The trip allowed Steve Clark, AOP Optometrist of the Year 2018, and Matthew Burford, professional services manager, to demonstrate the clinical care that they can provide to patients in a domiciliary environment. Students also learnt about Outside Clinic’s clinical governance programme and systems used to create a day’s schedule.

Luke McRoy-Jones, president of Plymouth Optometry Society, said: ‘As a committee, we worked with Outside Clinic to offer our students a Domiciliary Taster Experience Day. The day was very unique in offering students a hands-on insight into domiciliary, an area of optometry they may not have otherwise considered.’
