The role of charitable grants in advancing the treatment of eye conditions and reducing their social impact
This session will illustrate the impact that treatment of eye conditions, along with prevention and early detection, can have in preserving the economic and social independence of patients. Focusing on the complementary work of two innovative grant makers in the charitable sector, the session will be rich with lived experience combined with reporting of evidence that will encourage delegates to consider their understanding of the value of sight to all of us.
Learning outcomes:
Practitioners will understand how early detection, prevention and treatment of eye conditions can preserve the economic and social independence of patients
Practitioners will understand how to work collaboratively with charitable organisations to further eye research.
