Students who successfully complete CLiP Part One may progress to CLiP Part Two. The main assessed elements of CLiP Part Two are outlined below.

CLiP Part Two – remote visit (CLiP 2R)

CLiP 2R is a two-hour and 30 minute visit carried out online, comprising seven tasks, five of which are assessed. Four of the tasks are review and discussion of logbook records covering: 

  • low vision
  • paediatrics
  • non-tolerance
  • the use of drugs

The Assessor will discuss a 360° review and feedback on the student and coaching. 

There is also discussion of a Personal Development Plan the student prepares in advance of the session, and of their experience of the placement setting and supervision.

CLiP Part Two - face-to-face visit (CLiP 2F)

CLiP 2F is a three-hour visit, carried out in the student’s practice, with five tasks, four of which are assessed. This includes: 

  • a complete eye examination, with a supplied presbyope patient
  • a specialist dispense

The review of logbook and patient records will focus on diagnosis, management and referral supplemented by unfamiliar clinical images to explore the student’s ability to undertake effective clinical decision-making.

The student and Assessor will also discuss the student’s learning and development, with reference back to a revised Personal Development Plan developed by the student based on feedback from the last visit. A final discussion of the student’s experience of the placement setting and supervision will complete the visit.
