This educational programme is aimed at registered nurses working in an ophthalmic environment who wish to validate their existing skills and learn new skills.
The programme explores ophthalmic nursing from both the clinical perspective as well as the policy developments that will influence service delivery in the future.
- Do you need background knowledge to support your practice?
- Do you want to update your ophthalmic nursing skills?
- Do you want to learn new skills but do not feel ready for academia?
If yes, then this programme may be for you.
Programme contents include anatomy and physiology, conditions and treatment options and associated clinical skills.
