Congratulations to Owen, one of our optometrists, on the passing of his Independent Prescribing exam (IP) 🥂
Optometrists with an IP qualification are able to clinically assess a patient, establish a diagnosis, determine the clinical management required and prescribe where necessary. They can prescribe privately, or write an NHS prescription, for licensed medicine for conditions affecting the eye, and the tissues surrounding the eye, within their recognised area of expertise and competence.
With both Ross and Owen now IP qualified we now have these skills covered in our practice 6 days a week 💪
