View from Locsu: Professional development is vital

While many of the words on the Breakthrough Strategy for Optics have been about the supply side: Mecs and a new focus going forward on community monitoring (step-down services), its success will depend as much as the demand side of the equation: optical professionals with the appropriate skills.

With a raft of online induction training through to the Leadership Skills module and the Coaching & Mentoring course, Locsu has a full 360° learning and development programme which builds skills beyond core competencies.

In particular, the Clinical Governance and Performance Lead skills along with the NOC workshops, ensure that the optical profession is highly skilled to deliver extended primary eye care services.
