OPO special - Part 2: hospital optometrists survey and cataract advice

EyePod: The optometry podcast

In this second episode of the OPO special edition podcast, Daniel speaks to two OPO journal authors; Paddy Gun MCOptom, Principal Optometrist for Education and Training at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, and Emily Charlesworth MCOptom, Clinical Research Optometrist at Bradford University.

In the first half of the podcast, Daniel talks to Paddy about the results of the second national survey on the scope of practice of optometrists working in the UK Hospitals. In the second part, Emily tells Daniel about her investigations into the advice optometrists give their patients on target refraction when discussing cataract surgery.

Check out the other OPO episode, where we talk to more College PhD scholars about their work.
