Best practice for optometrists' written and telephone referrals
About the event
Dr Gordon Hay will speak about what are true ophthalmic emergencies, give video examples of how to make a referral to the local emergency eye unit in a succinct and clear way. He will provide written examples of clear referrals, so that the receiving ophthalmologist is in full possession of the facts, allowing for accurate triage.
This talk will be hugely reassuring to many community optometrists who can be anxious when faced with potential ocular emergencies.
