Over 2,000 Specsavers optometrists complete OCT training

Specsavers has announced that more than 2,000 of its optometrists have completed a programme of OCT training ahead of its installation in practices.

Richard Davies, who works in the Bath practice, was the 2,000th optometrist to complete the training, which covers OCT in glaucoma, medical retina and anterior segment, and prudent referrals. He received a voucher for £100.

Paul Morris, Specsavers’ director of professional advancement, said: ‘It is great to celebrate this achievement with Richard and with all the team. Reaching the milestone of 2000 so quickly is testament to the commitment throughout Specsavers to improve clinical outcomes and develop clinicians through investment. Every clinician who undertakes this learning will be enabled by the very latest eye care technology to play a vital role in improving eye health in their community.’
