Can safely say I’m having the best first week at work ever, so honoured to have received the @FollowBIOS Haddick Prize and @LivUniHealthSci Roger Trimble Prize for my dissertation and Orthoptic clinical practice 🥳@NwangliaFT_AHPs

Apparently people call this place the IOP. I did not know this. I had no idea why my Uber driver kept talking to me about intraocular pressure. I’m like yeah I agree the IOP is beautiful as long as it’s within normal limits.

The most dangerous grift in ophthalmology right now is “glasses are harmful.” People that claim diet, exercise, and a 10 part instructional webinar can help you live spectacle free! No. Stop it. It’s not a big deal for most adults. They will lose some money before realizing that no amount of exercise and bull testicle consumption will fix their presbyopia. But those same adults have kids. If young kids don’t get the glasses they need, their brains won’t develop normal vision. I’m talking permanent vision loss. I have seen it happen. It’s awful and entirely preventable.

We believe that Trainee #ACP posts should be AfC band 7, progressing to 8a and above, upon completion of a full Master’s degree. Lack of consistency presents risks to the Orthoptic profession and employing NHS Trusts. Read our full statement here: buff.ly/3wy133E

How we label each other in healthcare can stifle ideas, suggestions & create barriers that make people feel small. It’s so deeply ingrained in the #NHS culture we need to be more consciously aware of it. #wordsmatter

So amazing to gain recognition for the team! Really enjoying having small part in teaching future orthoptists ☺️
