Seeing Beyond the Eyes project wins excellence award

Seeing Beyond the Eyes (SBTE) has won the Vision UK John Thompson Award for excellence in services, support and care.

The SBTE project has aimed to bring together the optical and sight loss support sectors through CET workshops, of which 60 have been held so far. The team have received positive feedback from delegates and referrals have been increasing.

Project lead and founder of Visualise Training and Consultancy Daniel Williams said: ‘We are delighted to win such a prestigious award, but it is vital that we continue our education programme as there is still so much more to be done to ensure patients receive signposting and referrals for support as soon as they get a suspected and life changing diagnosis.’
