The Consulting Room: Newmedica's patient-centred eye care

As an ophthalmologist and the medical director at Newmedica, I have long been an advocate for collaboration between ophthalmology and optometry. This year, the 100% Optical show, the UK’s largest optics event, provided a great platform to highlight the importance of this partnership in delivering patient-centred care.  

It was a privilege to meet so many passionate optometrists, each committed to improving patient outcomes. 

One key takeaway from the event is the undeniable value of collaboration. When optometrists and ophthalmologists work together, we create a more efficient, effective and holistic approach to eye care.
