Clinical Director, Specsavers Guildford and Cranleigh

Choose a subject that genuinely sparks interest – it’s key to making the learning process enjoyable. When you’re passionate about a topic, it doesn’t feel like a chore, and that enthusiasm can really help build confidence. As you master one subject, it boosts your skills, but also allows you to support others in the workplace, creating a positive feedback loop. It’s amazing how that initial spark of interest can lead to bigger achievements, whether it’s helping colleagues or gaining further higher qualifications. It’s worth checking too what support your practice offers in terms of funding.
