There's still time to join health week campaign

With just over a week to go to National Eye Health Week (June 13-19), David Scott-Ralphs, chair of the steering group, is encouraging independent practices to get involved in the awareness campaign.

Scott-Ralphs, CEO of SeeAbility, said that even in such a short space of time, practices could support the campaign with posters and leaflets provided free-of-charge by the organisers.

'Because we have had very good support from sponsors and all the professional bodies, we can make these materials available to independents without them signing up to be friends. As long as we have a few days' grace it will be possible to turn around requests for posters, but the sooner they get in the better.'
