@1eyeinrumney@CollegeOptomUK@cameronoptom@Optomegeek@philmor It would be interesting to investigate, however as you can see there were relative few 'advanced skills' that even hospital optoms could perform, hence I feel our conclusion would be the same to achieve ACP independent of setting to meet workforce demands in ageing population.
@1eyeinrumney@CollegeOptomUK@cameronoptom@Optomegeek@philmor Hi Nick, only 5/10 advanced skills were performed by the 'majority' of MEH optoms for the relevant subspeciality. There are skills performed by some community optometrists (see discussion and supplementary) but not majority This info will help plan upskilling of all optoms.
Check out our latest paper published today in Eye investigating advanced ophthalmic skills that are being undertaken by optometrists and their relevance to advanced clinical practice frameworks @Moorfields#advancedpractice#optometrist#nhs#research
