Career Pathway
Until now there has been no nationally approved job titles, education and training programmes and career path for ophthalmic support staff. This will now change. Ophthalmic support staff who undertake assessments and diagnostic tests in eye clinics are part of the wider NHS Healthcare Science workforce. The specialism to which they belong is Ophthalmic and Vision Science, which is part of the Physiological Sciences division of the Healthcare Science Workforce.
