Mary Bairstow
Vision2020UK and low vision optometrist, Good Hope Hospital, Birmingham
"They tried to make me refer to rehab - and I said d'know d'know d'know"
Abstract:
If RNIB estimates are correct there are 2 million people living in the UK with serious sight loss. This could amount to one in 30 people. If your practice attracts older people, people with learning disabilities or people from different ethnic backgrounds the likelihood of you regularly encountering these patients will be higher. This lecture will provide some background demographics to encourage practitioners to recognize the needs of their patients. It will discuss referral pathways and support mechanisms available in your locality and unpick some of the myths about social care. There will be few tips thrown in about how basic optometric skills can contribute to the care of patients with low vision.
Learning objectives:
• To understand the demographics of low vision in the UK and at a local level
• To understand the referral routes to support – including Low Vision Leaflet (LVL), Referral of Vision Impairment (RVI) and Certificate of Vision Impairment (CVI)
• To be able to describe the role of professionals involved in social care, education and the third sector
• To be aware of the importance of good optometric care in working with patients who have low vision and apply these skills in a practice setting
Biography:
Mary Baistow qualified as an optometrist in 1986 and worked for 5 years as a hospital optometrist. She went on to develop one of the first multi-disciplinary teams in low vision at Birmingham Focus on Blindness (managing OT, rehab. Workers, orthoptists and optometrists). Mary took up a national role (now with Vision2020UK) supporting the development of low vision services through collaborative working. Despite working in the third sector for 21 years, Mary continued to practice on a part-time basis in the NHS.
