We love hearing about the impact of our 10 CPD Shadowing Opportunity, where optometrists gain first-hand insight into the cataract patient journey—from diagnosis to surgery and post-op care. 🌟 Fasmeena Cheriyalampady from Specsavers Edgware Broadwalk recently took part in the shadowing at Optegra Eye Hospital North London in Colindale, and here’s what she had to say: “The experience gave me valuable insight into the patient journey, from the moment they are referred by me to their post-surgical care. The staff were exceptionally knowledgeable and welcoming, taking the time to explain each step of the process.” This unique shadowing opportunity helps optometrists bridge the gap between referral and surgical care, strengthening their clinical knowledge and patient communication. #Optegra #Optegraeyehealthcare #Eyecare #Eyehealth #NHS #cataractsurgery #Ophthalmology #Optometry #Patienthcoice #CPD #CPDaccredited
