You will be responsible for assessing and identifying specific symptoms within your professional scope. You will provide guidance to medical and nursing personnel and/or prescribe medications based on patient needs, documenting in medical records and reassessing as necessary.

You will provide assistance in the clean room, clinics, and other nursing-related tasks, working across various settings to deliver Medical Retina Services.
The bustling Ophthalmology department includes an ambulatory Day Case Unit that provides pre- and post-operative care to over 60 patients daily, two extensive outpatient clinics, Orthoptics, Optometry, and an Emergency Eye department, offering care and treatments for a wide array of Ophthalmic conditions.
The Ophthalmology team provides a complete range of specialized services to ensure a timely, safe, and effective patient journey.
