"I'm Susan Leigh, and I've been an orthoptist since 1979, working in London. I've worked part time at the Royal Free London since 2002, and love being part of the team. I've reached that certain age when I can retire but I've chosen to reduce my hours."(1/3)

"I love that every clinic is different, and meeting new people, interacting and getting the best out of my patients, especially children. I also enjoy working with so many different people of all ages and backgrounds. We learn from each other and that's so rewarding." (2/3)
