- Carry out pre-operative and post-operative consultations
- Explain treatment options, risks and benefits clearly to patients, carers and families
- Maintain accurate records on electronic patient systems
- Work with consultants, optometrists, nurses and wider clinical colleagues
- Support audit and service improvement across the glaucoma pathway
- Follow clinical governance, CQC, infection prevention and safeguarding standards

- Medical degree from a recognised university
- Current GMC registration with a licence to practise in the UK

- Clear communication with patients, carers and colleagues
