Pathways in Practice: Supporting People with Sight Loss Across Wales - Events for the sight loss sector
Join Wales Council of the Blind and partners for a series of practical, interactive events across Wales, bringing together eye care, health, social care and third sector professionals to strengthen local referral pathways and improve support for people living with sight loss. You will learn about signposting through the electronic referral system; what the third sector can offer your patients; what a vision rehabilitation specialist does; support for children with sight loss; and the role of the Eye Clinic Liaison Officer. You’ll leave with clearer connections, better signposting options, and a shared understanding of who does what - so people can access the right support at the right time.
Who should attend? Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians, Vision Rehabilitation, ECLOs, Third Sector organisations, Managing Better workers, and Qualified Teachers of the Vision Impaired. Two interactive CPD points are available for Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians. Times: Registration from 5.30 pm – food and refreshments served from 6.00 pm – presentations and group discussions will run from 6.30 pm – 8.45 pm.
