Working in the SSECS programme

It is an exciting time in the development of the new and innovative NHS-funded Special School Eye Care Service (SSECS). With roll-out as part of its proof of concept phase truly in motion in north-west England, virtual training sessions were delivered recently by the SeeAbility Eye Care and Vision team, which included lectures and interactive case discussions. With participation from NHS England’s central and north-west regional teams along with the trainee clinicians, operational delivery and clinical management meshed together in vibrant interactive discussions. Planning for the delivery of SSECS clinics by these clinicians is under way as the newly recruited teams from the north-west look forward to shadowing SeeAbility Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians in service-established special schools in London ahead of these.
