Enhanced Practice in Ophthalmology Apprenticeship PG Cert

This programme is available to UK based practitioners in relevant employment only. The aim of the programme is to develop your clinical practice and to contribute to the advancement of eyecare delivery in primary, secondary, or tertiary care settings.

The programme has been developed by practicing clinicians for multidisciplinary ophthalmic non-medical clinicians, such as optometrists, orthoptists, and ophthalmic nurses.

The modules that are offered to you provide training in the four highest volume ophthalmic sub-specialties in the UK: Glaucoma, Medical Retina, Ophthalmic Emergencies, and Cataract.

These ophthalmic specialties have a shortage of medical staff and increasingly, ophthalmic professionals are undertaking extended roles to help manage the increasing burden of patient care.
