Peer review
This peer review session offers the opportunity to explore and debate a range of clinical and ethical scenarios in small groups. Together with fellow optometrists and dispensing opticians, you will reflect on real-world cases covering visual fields, managing patient complaints, dispensing complex prescriptions, and the assessment of eyelid lesions. The discussions are designed to support reflective practice, strengthen clinical decision-making, and enhance patient care.
Learning outcomes:
- Practitioners will be able to explain the visual fields test to a patient, to improve the outcome
- Practitioners will compare their communication skills with those of their peers when handling a patient complaint
- Practitioners will recognise how to dispense a complex prescription
- Practitioners will identify how to manage eyelid lesions
