Students gain practice experience at Northampton indie

Student ambassadors at the British Contact Lens Association were given the opportunity to experience working life at TK&S Optometrists in Northampton.

The five students will sit in on eye examinations, support the clinical team and use technology in the practice’s diagnostic suite.

Brian Tompkins, director at TK&S Optometrists, said: ‘Giving the next generation of optometrists the chance to experience life in practice is a crucial part of their development.

‘The BCLA ambassadors will all be able to shadow our award-winning clinical team and pick up invaluable experience that will stand them in good stead for third year at university. Optometry is in good hands and it’s our pleasure to give the stars of the future the chance to shine.’
