Discover domiciliary care

Find out what it’s like to work in domiciliary care with a series of four free webinars. 

This year’s General Optical Council (GOC) workforce survey found the sector has high satisfaction levels. But providers OutsideClinic say there is a lack of awareness in the profession. The webinars are:

• 7pm 3 November – how home eye tests are carried out, equipment and record keeping systems and communication skills. One CPD point.
• 7pm 17 November – differences between high street and home eyecare. 
• 7pm 24 November – OCT scans. One CPD point.
• 7pm 15 December – dispensing. One CPD point.

Nick Wingate, director of professional services at OutsideClinic, said: “Domiciliary eye care was recently cited as the most satisfying area to work in and yet many simply aren’t aware of what it entails or the broad range of career opportunities that exist and the benefits that come with these – especially if they have spent their whole career working on the high street.

“As the UK’s largest provider of home eye care services, we’re on a mission to change this.”
