Graduates from this course can work as advanced clinical practitioners, specialising in paediatric ophthalmology.
Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) are experienced and knowledgeable healthcare professionals who have expanded their scope of practice to better meet the needs of the patients in their care. ACPs are an integral part of the NHS workforce, particularly in paediatric ophthalmology where the UK is facing an acute shortage of ophthalmologists and an increased need for eye care services.
As an ACP within paediatric ophthalmology, you’ll have the autonomy and higher-level skills needed to independently diagnose and treat a range of ophthalmology conditions in children and young people.
