就业/职业信息
This programme will empower you to lead with confidence within the field of paediatric ophthalmology. You’ll gain the skills needed to guide colleagues through uncertainty, and drive positive change in your organisation. The impact of this course goes beyond professional development. As an advanced clinical practitioner (ACP), you’ll have the knowledge, skills and experience needed to autonomously diagnose and treat a range of ophthalmology conditions in children and young people. ACPs are an integral part of the NHS workforce, particularly in paediatric ophthalmology where the UK is facing an acute shortage of ophthalmologists and an increased need for eye care services. Our graduates have gone on to streamline service delivery, reduce wait times, relieve pressure on ophthalmology colleagues, and ultimately improve the patient experience.
