Low Vision Service Wales applications

Dear Colleagues,

We are now accepting applications for the Low Vision Service Wales accreditation starting in September 2015. Places are limited and will be given depending on service need.

Optometrists and dispensing opticians working in Wales are welcome to apply. The training is in the form of Cardiff University’s postgraduate modules, OPT001: Low Vision Theory and OPT002: Low Vision Practical. There is also some training specific to the Low Vision Service Wales.

Dispensing opticians undergoing the training are also required to complete two pathology lectures.

To apply for a place please contact us at pgoptom@cardiff.ac.uk and we will send you an application form. You will be required to also send a supporting letter from your practice manager in the practice in which you hope to provide the service. Unfortunately without a supporting letter we will be unable to process your application. The closing date for applications is the 9th August 2015.

Please send your application to pgoptom@cardiff.ac.uk – you are also welcome to direct general enquiries to this email address.

Best wishes

Rebecca
