A free resource pack for eyecare and health professionals has been produced by Visualise Training and Consultancy along with Thomas Pocklington Trust.
The pack complements the Seeing Beyond the Eyes CET workshops currently in the UK that help to raise awareness of difficulties patients experience being diagnosed with irreversible sight loss. It offers information on local sight loss charities, Eye Clinic Liaison Officers, Vision Rehabilitation Workers, low vision assessment services and Habilitation Workers.
Daniel Williams of Visualise said: ‘It is vital patients with sight loss are referred immediately to sight loss services that can enable their independence and help them deal with a difficult time in their life. However, optical professionals can’t refer if they don’t know who they are referring hence why we have created such a resource pack and training roadshow.’
